| I was slightly disappointed with the crowd last night. Seemed mostly Rovers fans, not sure CP has attracted many out of town supporters. Maybe it was a game too many. Also none of the Hull fans I know (fairly small sample admittedly) were planning to go to the CP games. Not sure why  |

Well I'm an Hull fan and I was there last night and saw plenty of others too. As has already been stated, by the weekend upwards of 40k supporters will have been thru the turnstyles in Hull. That's not bad considering that most of them will have been local, especially the 2 games at Craven Park.

Indeed, I think Hull as a city venue has been fine. Possibly 3 games is a push but equally the attendances have been good so no issue
Even Hull v Hull KR on a Monday evening with bad weather over the weekend would not have been that well attended in comparison to other games.
Lets be happy with what we are getting which is on the whole, well attended, entertaining and close games.

Maybe I've misjudged that. Still think as the 2 Hull clubs pull in a regular 18k between then the attendance could've been a little higher. Enjoyed the game, looking forward to Saturday. |

| Quote: Barnabus "I think it's shows just how well attended the tournament has been as a whole, so far, that a 6.7k attendance for PNG & Smoa is viewed as 'disappointing'.
6.7k prior to the tournament, I think we'd be happy.
Also, there was talk a couple of months back of an attendance of 15k for the game at the KC as being about right, that one's set for 22k+.'"
agreed, a few moaning about a 6.7k attendance for PNG v samoa 
imagine what it would of been in the last world cup held in this country!
so far the world cup has been a great success on the attendances front.. some cracking games too with only a few blow out scores |

Yes, and no side has scored over 50 points in a match yet.
This WC is working on all fronts as things stand.

Rubbish.
They could have had more people at the games but neither attendances were poor. |

Capacity is 12,000 so gates of 62% and 57% aren't what you'd call good are they? Only Bristol, which was a bit of a gamble come close to being as poor at 60% and PNG are supposed to be a side with "local" connections. |

The HKR crowds were nothing short of dreadful.. and Craven Park is no venue for international rugby league.

Get LEIGH outta wigan: |
|

With hindsight I think the organisers will wish they'd taken one of the games to Doncaster,i think they would have got at least a couple of thousand more,still,if the KC get over 20k it will still have been a good turn out by the hull public.
Good chance Wigan borough will get a similar total from 2 games.

Must be 12k at Leigh... for Tonga vs Cook Islands. In a small town with no rail station. Still want to defend those Craven Park crowds?

Caravan park? Thats original.
LSV is a cracking championship venue. |
