Quote: Shoe Shine Johnny "These are fair comments and there is a bit of a feeling of close but no cigar. However, 70k is 70k. If we get to 73k here this will be the highest crowd ever to watch International RL.
In 2000, the SF crowds were 15k and 8k - just to put it into perspective. The SF crowd will also be 25-30k higher than the SFs in 2008.'"

Yep, the attendances across the board in this World Cup have been great and it's great that it's such a big improvement on 2008.
But the fact remains there are 20000 tickets still available for Saturday.
Absolutely guarantee there will be over 20000 people watchin it on the tv who could have been there if they truly put their mind to it.
If it means one less takeaway this month, one less night at the pub, or one less pack of ciggies this week, anyone who hasn't got a ticket should simply get off their bum and attend this match.
Life is there to be lived. If England make the final, that's a memory that will live with those that attend for the rest of their lives.
