Have noticed that York city centre is full of groups like that on a weekend.

I can confirm 30+ less sales for Scotland vs Italy at Workington, after this afternoons test purchase for the Tonga match, £7.50 is extremely reasonable, however a £2.50 'delivery' fee for a walk in purchase is beyond taking the mickey, good luck with that, it's cheaper on the telly.

It's an old cliché but often less is more. One game over Easter Weekend is a classic example. A long season with lop fixtures doesn't help attendance figures but it helps bring in the media money.

It takes wisdom to know when a discussion has run its course.

It takes reasonableness to end that discussion.

On that Wire v Wigan crowd. If Rugbyleagueproject is accurate, the previous highest crowd in recent history for this game at Wire is 14028. So hopefully that will be beaten, and it would mean the highest crowd for Warrington v Wigan for many decades.

23,211 was the Easter Rd Avg w NRL. I think the NRL will be a little disappointed with that figure.

You really are a half-empty sort of bloke, the NRL will be stoked with the crowd figures this year, even the Easter weekend figures.

Very interestingly, last night’s Dolphins Rabbits slightly pipped that figure with 23,280.

The best part about that number was that on a night that even the Broncos are lucky to draw 20 000, the Dolphins drew 23 000, even if they drop down the ladder this year, it shows the underlying support for this club. Augurs well for the years ahead when they build their roster and become a force to be reckoned with.

Any idea what the stadium capacity is now? I think there was a 15008 crowd for Wire v Widnes in 2016, but I'm not sure whether the capacity is still at that level.

I'm sure there was a press release at the start of the year saying it had increased slightly due to the latest safety certificate or something. Maybe 15.4k?

Think they said it was also a Warrington Superleague record too, beating anything they had at Wildersppol during the Superleague era too

Wilderspool held no where near that in the SL era so it would be.

Wilderspool hasn't held that many for decades. We're probably talking biggest crowd in Wire for 40 to 50 years or so.
