Not read the whole thread, but they were giving tickets away if you bought/ renewed your insurance in the last month at least. Perception is everything though and people are talking about this huge crowd not how many actually paid anything. Exactly the same as the RFL did to fill stadia at the RLWC.

Who won the kickandmaulathon ?

Replies not necessary RU is boring to watch and folk go for nothing more than a good p*ss up.

I would suggest that if they go to watch that rubbish then they're already p*ssed up.

Official attendance of 67,575 at Wembley for the RLWC semi final double header.



No, really.

Yep, looks about 67k there to me. Or do we just stick with misleading pictures to try and prove a point?

You and your misleading pictures to try and prove a point





Why can't you just admit that both League and Union massage attendance figures with freebies, cheapies and no-shows?

Are you really that insecure about the sport you clearly care about?

How the hell is this picture (with packed stands during the Aussie-Fiji game misleading)? Australia and Fiji are playing and the stands are full. Look at it again?

I like many thousands left at half-time with it being around 36-0 and I was freezing my nuts off. I suppose I didn't attend the game then nor did the other tens of thousands in the image below? Or is there a new clock in, clock out rule I haven't heard about?

Deary me you misleading Shoe Shine Johnny, you!



Packed stands, my booty!

The stands weren't even packed for England V New Zealand.







I'll ask you again.

Why can't you just admit that both League and Union massage their attendance figures with freebies, cheapies, empty red seats and no-shows?

You tried to make out no-one was there for Fiji-Australia, I just showed you a photo that showed there were full stands for that game in the first half (of the sections that were opened). That is the only point I have made on this entire thread.

Apparently lost of tennis competitions make losses for the first few yrs, they build crowds and sponsors and after a few yrs, and then they start making money, I was watching the Cincinatti Masters a couple of years ago and they were going on about this. I used to watch a lot of the WTA, until all the women started to be bigger than me, bring back my favourite sportsperson ever, M Hingis; and J Henin too. I know D Cibulkova is shorter than me, but that's about it.
