Context is sometimes helpful. The first weekend in September, across North America, is the biggest of the holiday weekends. Everywhere, kids go back to school on the Tuesday. So it's the final blowout weekend for families to do stuff. People with holiday cottages leave the city. Many families in Toronto go to the Exhibition (fairground, food and ag fair, live music, etc), which is where the air show takes place and why there were F-16s zooming over Lamport Stadium during the game.

We were actually delighted that we got so many fans out on the holiday weekend, given there were so many other choices for people. Personally, two of my friends entirely new to RL came back on Saturday for a second game, and one is considering season tickets for next year.

Picking apart attendance at every Wolfpack game has become a spectator sport all its own even though, as you correctly note, we pull more than most other Champ and some SL teams.

The council estate culture on these forums is often rooted in envy and resentment of those who have done better. Ignore them mate.

I loved the national anthems before the game (what on earth !) ...brought a tear to my Japanese Eye !

"ooooh, ignore them mate"

You big girl's blouse !

That looks like a great crowd, well done to all involved.

Surely that is 75,000 with another million watching on TV right?.

Two massive City clubs going head to head in one of the most important games either has ever played.

You just cant help yourself with the digs at other clubs can you.

Quote Joff="Joff"More there than your club. That's all that matters.... Oh, and may I share with you this delightful Facebook page that may suit the type of person you are? https://www.facebook.com/groups/1197913303653937/'" Dunno what the Headingley attendance was yesterday but it looked more than 7k to me. I'll give the facebook page a miss as I doubt you have the first clue about the type of person I am. I think a few on here have got you sussed though....

Nice of you to make the argument about social class...

Context is always good, thanks for that. Just for the record, I want Toronto to succeed and while your crowds are good I'd like to see them grow - as indeed I'm sure you would. There was no dig intended.
