I agree. Loads of space at the back where we were. Loads of seats were free too.

Was there and granted it wasn't a sell out...but 11,000?? Would say nearer 13'000 - 14'000.

Come on!!

Least it isn't as bad as Northern in the bad old day's in the late 80s, early 90s!!

wasnt there 35000 rovers fans behind the sticks

That joke got old in about 1997.

You are joking, right?

More than 11,000 though. I'd guess 13,000. There is no way you could fit another 11,000 in (to capacity).

There was only 13k at Leeds in last years final eliminator so 11k is probably right.

that joke will only wear out when dobbins fans stop inflating their alledged away support, so that would be never

Poor attendance.

Loads of room in the Southstand. The Carnegie looked half empty/full and so did the North. Also the Western Terrace wasnt even full. I guessed around 13k but would be happy with 11k with what looked about 2-2.5k from East Hull.

Perhaps the refuse collectors couldn't afford to go

19,000? Nowhere near. I'd be very surprised if it was an error. There would be plenty of people stuck outside the gate if the turnstyle computer failed.

Still, I'll stick my neck out and say that it will still be the best gate of the round.

what is the story with the poor play-off crowds anyway. i just looked at last years figures and saints v leeds at knowsley got 11,407. granted the wigan v bradford game got moved to widnes last year, but the crowds seem low in general. should the RFL be concerned about this?

Same reason as low crowds in challenge cup - season ticket holders don't get in free.

There looked a bit more than 11k last night.
Granted the East stand seats looked only about half full as did the North stand but i would say at least 13.

according to a director at one club, apparently all play-off receipts go into an RFL pot and clubs don't make a penny. Seems very odd to me, but might explain why last night's attendance seemed 'artificially' low.
