Notes
^ Note that 2 home attendance are missing (see below) - so the total attendance will not be 100% accurate. The average attendance has also been taken into account with the missing game not included.
^ Manchester would play their 'home' game against Leeds Tykes in Leeds due to floodlight issues which would have the knock on effect of boosting their season attendance figures as 1,781 supporters turned up to watch this game, almost all of whom were Leeds fans.[ 6]
^ Missing home attendance v Exeter Chiefs on 21 March 2009.
^ Home game against Moseley on 9 May 2009 was cancelled.
