PatrickB Posted September 28, 2018 Share Posted September 28, 2018 It appears either Toronto Wolfpack marketing team or 3 Brewers Pub have a good sense of humour as well as being a winning side. Nicely played putting a big fat attendance number on the viewing party at the 3 Brewers Pub today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roughyedz Posted September 28, 2018 Share Posted September 28, 2018 does that pic and 2,347 mean that there were that many in the bar at Toronto ???? as you dont give any explanation really about the post ???? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PatrickB Posted September 28, 2018 Author Share Posted September 28, 2018 Yes, That's what they are implying, and I'm certain it was a joke. It's a big bar, but not that big. It maybe holds about 400 - 500 tops, and about 200 on the floor they are on in the pic. You don't keep attendance in a bar, and I think they are just having some fun and trolling the people that have mocked their attendance figures this year.

dixiedean Posted September 28, 2018 Share Posted September 28, 2018 Doubtless poncy craft beer and not bitter , as is right and proper too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheReaper Posted September 28, 2018 Share Posted September 28, 2018 To be fair, there are some delicious craft bitters. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've made one myself in conjunction with a Salford Brewery. I'm calling it 'Empty Terrace'. Hashtag #Itwillrockyou That will go well with my Huddersfield mild, a pint of Infuriating Cowbell .

PatrickB Posted September 29, 2018 Author Share Posted September 29, 2018 Over here in Canada, I'm a Wellington S.P.A. man myself. I honestly do find a lot of other craft beers are too hoppy for my tastes these days. At 3 Brasseurs (the Wolfpack bar) though, I like their Blonde Ale.

Mr Wind Up Posted September 29, 2018 Share Posted September 29, 2018 What this attendance doesn't take into account is the thousands of people that had congregated at a public garden just outside for an impromptu alcoholics anonymous meeting.

tim2 Posted September 29, 2018 Share Posted September 29, 2018 7 hours ago, Johnoco said: I've counted those people and there's at best 1500. Had this bar been in the heartlands there would have been at least 10000 punters. Let's focus on the local bars that are actual drinkers rather than these here today gone tomorrow shandy merchants. You know it makes sense. Ah, so all the heartland fans were in the pub rather than the ground when their home game was on? That explains the poor attendance figures - despite the fact that the game isn't shown at the local pubs we can perhaps still count them all.

cookey Posted September 29, 2018 Share Posted September 29, 2018 It wouldn't have taken too much imagination from Sky Sports to interview the couple who seemed to have come over to Leeds from Toronto,rather than just keep filming them. There really is no thought/initiative/imagination from Sky. Someone please give than woman from Sky a job - she is single handedly ruining rugby league.

Read an article by Malcolm Andrews once on why that was but I can't remember the reason Here's the Wiki take on this... Attendances at Henson Park are the highest in the NSWRL Premier League [7]. Their attendance is always announced as being 8,972, this is in reference to a game played at Henson Park in the 1990s on a wet and miserable day. The ground announcer John Lynch jokingly said through the speaker that the crowd was 8972. This figure has now become a part of Newtown folklore and is announced as the crowd at every home match.[8] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Exiled Wiganer Posted September 29, 2018 Share Posted September 29, 2018 That is fantastic. I would like to see the picture when O’Brien’s drop goal went over. Beer spilt everywhere?

northamptoncougar Posted September 29, 2018 Share Posted September 29, 2018 There’s people at the other side of the world packing out a place to watch the game all cheering and high diving afterwards. I think we need to wake up to the fact that their onto something. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
