I never said they weren't.

But continue with your strawman.

You suggested someone thought there were 23k in the ground because that was the announced figure.

If you say so.

Enjoy the rest of your day and the other game.

If you think there are 23k in that ground or anywhere near - I have a bridge to sell you.

We can all read what you wrote, so nonsense to deny it. 

Likewise.

I swear some on here actually want the crowds to be poor

Yes the made up number was impressive. That game should have sold out and should have looked sold out. I swear some people on here actually believe the BS the RLWC keeps feeding them.

[DoubleD]

They might have ‘sold’ 23,179 tickets but only about 20k turned up. The west stand was disappointingly only about half full.

Ok let’s get this straight you are saying the organisers are lying about it? Bearing in mind attendances include no shows.

I understand it’s made some people angry that it was a decent figure. Ive given the organisers plenty of stick on here but were now at the stage on this thread where even a good figure is getting people annoyed.

its getting silly TBH

a 15% no show rate is quite something.

That’s how most attendance figures in all sports are calculated, considering there was s rail strike planned its not surprising some didn’t show up.

If 23179 people paid to watch the game 23179 people paid.

I wanted it to be full. It was miles off but please continue your shilling for the organizers.

[bratman]

Some people really not happy with anything, bordering on angry with everything. Slightly bizarre IMO.

[OriginalMrC]

The fume every time an attendance is announced is really quite amazing, and funny. I'd be tempted to add a few more thousand on every time to see how many heads explode  

[The Hallucinating Goose]

I personally don't care if the official attendance is much higher than the number in the ground. The official attendance is the one that goes down in the history books and the one people will look up and remember in the future so it's the one that matters, not some figure a random bloke has predicted.

Don’t disagree, just thought it was pertinent how nearly all the fans who didn’t turn up were situated in the West stand

Yup.

Would be interested to know if they all "paid" but we will never know.

Well happy with that if they did.

I wanted it to be full, but ill take a highest attendance for a QF in the competition.

your shilling comment doesn’t deserve a reply

Indeed - clearly not punters missing at random.

So possibly sponsors, freebies.

So now we’re on to it being freebies?

just accept it was s decent figure and move on.

[Just Browny]

Ffs save your energy for when we don't sell enough tickets to start with, not this QANon stuff.

There were clearly a few no-shows but since some people first bought tickets for this game it was moved 30 miles and it eventually took place on a day where trains weren't running.

If they were corporate, i know from experience many don’t bother actually going to the seats.

True. Those folks would be missing at random though.
