Mon 14 Nov: Women's RLWC SF: England v New Zealand KO 7.30pm

[Northern Eel]

Another 'untidy' silence. Well observed though by those who listened to the instructions.

Now, let's get this game started and see where we are in the grand scheme of things. Come on England!

[Chrispmartha]

How good is it to see it packed out!

[Midlands hobo]

Love the fact one of the world's best players decides to dye her hair pink. Like she doesn't stand out anyway 

[Mark S]

The crowd sounds brilliant in the stadium. 
 

[Man of Kent]

Was that guy singing or miming?

What’s the biggest RL crowd in there? Have York ever filled it?

There was allegedly a crowd of exactly 4000 for York vs Bradford there in 2021, I couldn’t make that game so can’t confirm just seems a bit too precise!

Otherwise highest was 3602 York vs Featherstone in the season opener this year. I’ll just add York stopped giving attendances soon after that game but none seemed close to that.

I estimate tonight’s attendance will be about 6000-6500.

[JohnM]

Was that Padge the camera closed in on during the silence?

[Chrispmartha]

Only gripe is the blooming big screen being way out of sync again - I don’t get why its like this at every game!

[MatthewWoody]

Great atmosphere for the anthems and now the Haka!

[shrewsbury roughyed]

This is going to be brutal. I can feel it

[moorside roughyed]

Here we go 

[GeordieSaint]

I like the smiles on the team’s faces. Keen, excited to be there and ready to get stuck in. Come on England.

[graveyard johnny]

have said it in an earlier post on another game - the womens future capt is sat in the stands once again - the future of eng womens RL - should be getting the Suaalli style fast track - immense young talent with a very familiar surname 

[Mark S]

The girl leading the Haka looked a bit nervous at first and then she exploded into life.

8500 although the big screen possibly takes away a bit of the capacity. Going to revise my prediction to 7400 

[Futtocks]

Fran-tastic!

[moorside roughyed]

Get in

[Man of Kent]

Goldthorp. Absolute star.

[Northern Eel]

Perfect opening 4 minutes and a try to show for it. Couldn't ask for a better start.

[AB Knight]

Great try!
