Indeed. The way the boroughs are designed (i.e. don't exactly fit the town) makes things very difficult.
Wigan metropolitan borough is 328,662.
Wigan's population is 103,608. The borough also includes Leigh, Ashton-in-Makerfield and other small towns.
Warrington borough is 210,014.
Warrington's population is 165,456. The town pretty much fits the borough (officially a 'unitary authority').
So which is actually the bigger town that should have the bigger attendances?
the walk home was one of the longest ever 
People cannot forget SKY, no SKY = no Rugby league......
