Looks a very good crowd, being treated to a great game. It’s an awful place…..every time I’ve been there for RL it’s been freezing, the hot water has been bust and the leg room is awful (I’m not exactly a giant!)…..buts it’s also a great showcase venue for international rugby league Edited November 11, 2022 by philipw 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jill Halfpenny fan Posted November 11, 2022 Share Posted November 11, 2022 This must be one of the few times that an attendance has bettered forecast ticket sales in any competition. 2 Just because you think everyone hates you doesn't mean they don't.

I think there'd been some hope of 27/28k this week, but it could easily have been 25k, so glad it was at the higher end. Hopefully we'll achieve top end tomorrow and get 45k+ 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bratman Posted November 11, 2022 Share Posted November 11, 2022 (edited) Hopefully 45k tomorrow and 70k for the final will be a good total IMO, all things considered. Edited November 11, 2022 by bratman Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now unable to beat the 2013 number even if the final 2 games sellout. Prob finish around 435k for 31 events vs 458k for 26 events. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Prob finish around 435k for 31 events vs 458k for 26 events. Disappointing isn’t it. The only consolation is the revenues from ticket sales will be vastly higher. I suppose they’ve also reset the pricing structure for internationals. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure he said loads, just some. And even so, they still have to make the effort to actually get there. I had WhatsApp messages from 2 separate ST holders at ER who both said, independently, that it looked pretty full and they thought it was a really good game. And they *never* talk about RL.

But you are forgetting that to the uninitiated, the England game thrashing someone was possibly also as exciting. They did brilliant, let's not play it down.
