I’m not sure how we get back to anything like that Just shows how much sport has lost, Widnes Bulls even London. I think Widnes could get back up to 6k in SL 3.5 if you arent rubbish.

JonNgog Posted September 23, 2022 Share Posted September 23, 2022 Crowd of “over 60,000” expected tomorrow. Not sure if we are supposed to be impressed by that figure, since 60,000 should really be the bare minimum for a game like this. With two local well-supported clubs involved, it should be in sell out territory. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looks fairly full on map when I was looking for another seat for a late entry to our group (we got lucky with a nearby single seat) Don't think they haven't opened top tier yet?

We should remember it is World Cup year and a lot of neutrals will be buying for that. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Under normal circumstances yes, but with the World Cup coming up and cost of living rocketing I’d expect a lower crowd. 65k would be decent. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jughead Posted September 23, 2022 Share Posted September 23, 2022 (edited) Think a lot of the Knowles stuff is internet hysteria, I doubt anyone who had tickets prior to Wednesday has chucked them in the bin as a result of that outcome. Has it put some last minute punters off? I doubt it, if they hadn’t committed by Wednesday evening, were they ever going to go?

SalfordSlim Posted September 23, 2022 Share Posted September 23, 2022 I think a fair few last minute buyers will have been put off by the decision. It ain't gonna be thousands but some people are disillusioned with some of the goings on within the game at the minute and just won't bother. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm willing to bet you could do a survey of people who didn't attend and the option, "I was infuriated by a decision made by the disciplinary panel" would be a statistical zero. 3 Build a man a fire, and he'll be warm for a day.
