£22 to get in at Widnes and £20 to get in at Castleford. Sadly lots of fans aren’t willing to part with those amounts to watch games. The majority at league games are season ticket holders, paying considerably less than this. It’s the same every year, prices need to come down for the cup games, if we are to get more people at them.

Imagine the outcry if Toronto Wolfpack got an attendance figure this low.

Last years gloryhunters vs this years gloryhunter then

Maybe few fans care about the CC these days? I actually forgot we were playing last night; fifteen years ago I'd have gone.

I really don't like 8 teams entering at the last 16 mark. It's boring.

I don't suppose the announced attendance had anything to do with the home club having to share the gate money with the away club?

what was the leigh crowd?

2600 at huddersfield

Shocking attendance, why won't wakey fans travel in huge numbers just 10 miles away for a local derby knockout game. Eh Wrencat

Huddersfield isn't a derby for us, I don't think they even have a derby match maybe wrong. Apparently we took around a 1000 last night.

Up the Trin

maybe halifax is the closest derby for us but not been in the same league for a long time now.


1000 my a*se. 300 more accurate

4,026 at Leigh last night, approx 300 from Salford at start of the match & approx 40 with 5 minutes left to play !

As many as 40 left by the end I'm surprised watching that total shower of . The only saving grace is that the admission was £21 for season ticket holders and £23 for non season ticket holders for a game against championship opposition live on Sky

Even a lot of the diehards went to the pub and put the entrance money behind the bar instead.
I'm surprised anyone went.

You can’t get into a top Bundesliga football game for less than that.

British sports fans are proper ripped off!

I left work near Wakey at 1815 and was getting fish and chips in Widnes at 1940. It's a terrible excuse used by some fans of all clubs for not travelling. The game, if not a belter, was tense and exciting and well worth the investment to see Leeds win at a real bogey ground.

Neither do I, it just adds to the problem of teams playing the same teams (and only those teams) over and over again. It also sets up the cup to be more likely to see the same few clubs getting to the final year on year. You wouldn't really expect a club from outside the SL to make the final but when nearly every year Wigan, St Helens, Warrington, Leeds, (and more recently) Hull FC and Cas all get a bye to the last 16 even the lower half of SL clubs are likely to run into one of the top teams and (usually) see their run end there.

I would rather see something like a first round of the 26 Championship & League 1 clubs plus 14 community clubs with the 20 winners then going into an open draw with the 12 SL clubs in round 2. That way you would get more potential for variation in fixtures plus big draws for lower league clubs. You would also increase the chances of a club lower down the ladder making the final which was surely part of the appeal of the cup. With fewer rounds we could also start the cup later in the season and cut out the stupid momentum killing gaps we have had.
