A home QF I imagine would bring in another 2-3k, think we got 8-9k v Dragons, so perhaps similar to the LI attendance.

But ok the April 2012 home QF v Toulouse (Saturday afternnon I recall) had a crowd of over 37k so can't see how we could only expect 10/11k if we get another home QF ?

That was a high point, post Robinson, and just before the start of the 4-5 year descent into the Bradley/Solly era of misery, would be a good comparison to see the current appetite and how many of those fans we could attract back.

getting to that QF was THE high point, but it tended to mask just how bad Edinburgh were that season otherwise. The decent had already started.
