Baring in mind the fact that 95% of the seats in Wembley are red, I'm assuming you mean the club wembley seats in the middle tier. This is just the nature of the club wembley that people buy year or even 10 year passes to seats in this section and many use them for corporate dos for England games/cup finals. Because of that not many turn up for the CC Final because they're not bothered about RL. The 79k will include this number because the seats have been sold and therefore cannot be resold, whether or not anyone turns up to sit in them is beyond the RFL or whoever runs Wembley's control.

They will still not equal the massive crowd that went to see Catalans play in 2007.

If only they had.

And the award for fastest attempt to put a negative spin on good news goes to...

As was said those seats will have been included every year, and are out of the hands of anyone at RFL to sell, so looking forward to the game!

Out of interest, how many seats are there in the club Wembley section?

You reckon? 84200 to beat. 3 days to go. Don't think I'd bet my house on it not being beaten.

16532 according to the wembleystadium.com

more than i thought

I may be wrong, but wasn't the leeds/warrington 2010 final the only sell out we have had at the new wembley?(obviously without club wembley seats)

Tickets had better not be that scarce!

Still, I've never not got in yet...

Everyone loves a David v Goliath battle!

You never know. But they probably won't equal the even bigger crowd that went to see Warrington and Leeds in 2010.

Only reason that final in '07 got 84K was that it was the first game back at Wembley since 1999. But you keep thinking Catalans are a huge draw.
