Quote: Bobbyrlfc "Everyone moaning about it being just one attendance for the double header is fooling themselves too.
If i paid £99 for my ticket to Cardiff, i paid £44.50 to see England Vs. Australia and £44.50 to see Wales Vs. Italy, the fact is, i've paid for two games, and i should be counted for both.
The magnificent attempt by the 45,000 fans to make if to Cardiff should be praised, and not moaned at. Well done everyone, you've done RL proud, the Final is nearly/is sold out and extra blocks open at Wembley.
What everyone who's putting the sport down is failing to see is...
Warrington, Avingnon, Huddersfield, the final, and no doubt more games will sell out including Perpignan very very soon, and for sales which were selling modestly well just a few weeks ago, you really can't knock the fans for their amazing support...
It's like some of you would rather there be 600 people there so they could be smug about the sport declining!'"
I'm certainly not moaning about it being a double header. The attendance was fine, at least from where the international sport is coming from at the moment. Counting the attendance as 90k would be misleading though - there's no need to do it. It was what it was - 45k watching a double header. Nothing to be ashamed of.
