Terrible effort really....especially as the game was being played at one of the nicest grounds in the UK at a place where RL is so popular.
How many turned up?
I was going to go to Paris next week to watch Australia v France....mainly for a weekend on the booze.
However I have been given tickets through my work for the Wallabies v England game at Twickenham next weekend so I will be giving France a miss.
How can an event like that attract 82,000 where as the England v Australia footy at Wigan got such a poor crowd?

There was only 1,800 less than there was at Aussie Stadium for Aus v GB in 2006.
Why so many empty seats that day?

There was only one block in the west stand that was deserted. I thought it was a pretty good attendance.
I think next week your comments will stand up more

Quite ironic that your complaining about attendances in rugby league, but you've decided to off to Twickers instead. |

Going to watch Sterling Mortlock instead of Greg Inglis!
Yeh Right"!
Ball in play 25 mins out of eighty instead of 65 out of eighty.
Enjoy!

as I said in another thread, im not sure that the RFL's ticket 'bands' really help matters
here's next weeks layout for the Galpharm
rlhttps://www.superleague.co.uk/~therflc/uploads/imagesource.php?image
is the view in the Pink seats really worth the £20 markup over the red seats? IMO no and I'm guessing these will be the empty ones on saturday. As far as i'm aware they aren't even padded or anything either.
I just don't think that people are bothering to pay the extra for seats in grounds which have good views from any seat (such as the DW, KC etc) which showed yesterday with the ends being full but gaps down the sides.

Not good is it.
I'm not really a big union fan either.
I just can't be bothered to go Paris ....and the Wallabies tickets were complimentary.
Sorry for my double standards  |

23,122, a good attendance IMO.
The capacity of the stadium is 25,138 but that has been reduced (so I've been told) to 24K due to safety reasons. |

23 - 20 - 4
Warrington led 16-2 in Saturday's Grand Final, but their joy was short-lived as Wigan roared back to win the Super League title and extend the Wire's 58-year wait to be champions:d7dc4b20b2c2dd7b76ac6eac29d5604e_10174.png |

Only when seats are sold on an unallocated basis, at Super League level. |

not for the biggest game England can play it isn't IMO
also considering in 2004 we got 38,000 to the COM to watch Britain-Australia
where have the extra 15,000 gone? |

[quote="The Independent (May 2007)":1a4c25jw]Today the east [of Hull], which contains the biggest council estate in Europe, is poor, a place of high unemployment and low expectation. The west, which has the city centre and the university, is posh and prosperous.[/quote:1a4c25jw]:5017.jpg |

£20 for the sides and £15 behind the posts and it would sell out and look a hell of a lot better on tv. maybe instead of playing games in small stadiums so they look more full the rfl should try charging less in decent sized stadiums.
people don't want to pay 40quid to watch international matches, despite what people say it clearly isnt the pinnacle of the game to most people

Speaking personally, I don't want to watch jellyfish. When the England backs find their spine then I will consider paying to watch them.
