Maybe it was all the Rover's fans that bought their tickets in March (cos they were going to win all don't ya know) who didn't turn up

12000 down on Wembley.

I said exactly the same...could see a lot of empty seats in the saints end. Didnt seem as many in the leeds end though - which is where we were sat.

Congratualations on winning

I'd say we outnumbered Saints 2 to 1. Had it have been Wigan I reckon the attendance would be 5-10k more.

It might have helped if the Saints fans had turned up.

Proving what I've always known. That they are glory hunters who at the first sign of the trophies drying up are like rats leaving a sinking ship.

I look forward to them being crap for a number of years.

The only 2 teams that would fill Old Trafford are Leeds and Wigan

...which just happen to be the teams I predict will be there next year

Wonder how many Leeds fans have attended all Grand Finals they have played in ?

I'll start the list...

1. Me

Give over!
We was there in 2006 and it still remains the highest Grand Final attendance at Old Trafford.

So il rephrase that for you, " The only 3 teams"

Not with that up and coming dynamic prop they have signed, I expect Saints to be better than ever........................

So what year was the record attendance and who was playing?

Fingers crossed we get there next year
