A great crowd Toronto Wolfpack. Smashes every other Championship and L1, plus several SL clubs.

The SLE would be absolute morons to deny TWP SL status. That crowd would be doubled in SL!!

Did you watch the game? 9,600 capacity with plenty of space to move about in and virtually devoid of spectators in the end section. A good crowd indeed, but 8,217 you're having a laugh.

If TWP play like they did yesterday in the 8's, they could be looking at losing 7 from 7 never mind promotion to SL. Featherstone have only won 2 out of the 7 games they've played against TO, London and Fax (and they were both right at the start of the season), yet they dominated the game, especially defensively, for the majority of the encounter yesterday.

4 x the amount your beloved 'Fax' can achieve. TWP setting the benchmark again, you others need to catch up or enjoy your fenced in part time past time.

That is an amazing figure!

Certainly is! TWP are shaming the M62 bystanders,

How can it be setting a benchmark when it doesn't reflect the true numbers? Granted TWP may well have "sold" that many tickets, but there were far less than that actually in the ground. I'm not sure what our own attendances has to do with this? I've always said that TWP are getting excellent crowds but that the numbers in the ground are clearly far less than the declared figures. Whether this is down to a lot of season ticket holders not turning up, or something else, I'm not sure.

As it happens, I'm really enjoying our part-time present (assuming Rochdale don't spoil the party later today).

So they should. Cheap season tickets, no other Rugby League club within thousands of miles and top of the league.

Yeh it's great but so it should be.

Great attendance, although they will need to improve massively in the M8s.

I’m watching a replay of the game now and that figure is clearly made up. No way are there that many people in attendance.

Also that pitch is a disgrace. Looks absolutely terrible and too narrow n’all.

And why are both teams wearing the same kit? Amateurs!

I cant vouch for this personally, but I understand that over there people dont tend to stay and watch the entire game. They spend alot of time in the beer tents etc. If that is the number of tickets sold then it doesnt really matter how many people are actually stood on the terraces, and I dont see anything to make me doubt those numbers.

^^ I’m watching it too, and if the capacity in there is 9600 there is no way there is over 8000 in the ground - it looks like you could fit as many in again! I know they watch sport a little different over there and wander in and out from concourse etc.., but that figure is made up. Still looks a decent crowd though whatever the true figure to be honest. Can they fit any more lines on that pitch?! As a Cas fan I’m in no position to comment about pitch dimensions though

The capacity of 9,600 is only for the seating areas, I believe.

It doesn’t include those in the beer tent area behind the posts.

So while the stands aren’t completely full, you’re ignoring the people in the other areas. When I was watching it looked pretty damn well packed and definitely compared to other games too.

Are they counting people who can see off those balconies in the apartments? And people sat in their cars at the supermarket?

It’s like me saying there are 8217 lines on the pitch... oh hang on...

Ahhhh, now that puts a different light on it. I thought a ground capacity was the whole ground. If thats true then the figure could well be about right then

Everywhere describes it as a “9,600 seating capacity stadium”, presumably with the assumption that everyone going to watch sport there would sit in the two stands down either side.

Given you can’t sit down behind the posts, I’d assume these are excluded from the capacity and so don’t count. It would be like counting the back of the main stand at The Jungle in the capacity.
