Individual statistics [ edit ]
^ Also known as the Recreation Ground.
^ Since relegation from the 2018–19 National League 1 Loughborough Students have switched games from the Loughborugh University Stadium to nearby East Park.
^ Rugby Paper listed as 267. This is a incorrect - attendance actually 627.
^ The crowd figure in The Rugby Paper for Macclesfield v Luctonians was incorrectly given as 1,564. Contact with Macclesfield RUFC reveals this to be an error and taking typos into consideration, that it was more likely that the crowd was 156 than 564 (it certainly wasn't 1,564).
