you obviously weren't there as although rovers did well sales wise they were hugely outnumbered, as you would expect

He's twice the man you'll ever be!

Another one for you .

Only three teams posted scores of 50 in this years competition . Nottingham Outlaws lost to Blackbrook 4-50 . Hull KR lost to Leeds 0-50 .
The only other team to score 50 was in the game that ended Bradford Bulls 30-50 Hull KR .

Rovers had a good turn-out but there were a lot more Leeds fans there, especially in the upper tiers.

To the naked eye there were a lot fewer neutral fans (in club shirts) there than usual. Probably the third most common shirt on show was Hull FC.

the old wembley's capacity was severely reduced in the mid 90's due to seats being installed on the old terracing, i think the capacity was down to about 76,000 in the mid 90's

I thought that too. As we're playing in London next weekend I could understand Wigan fans maybe not wanting trips to the capital two weeks in a row, but there didn't look anything like the range of jerseys that's been in evidence in the past.

I saw one or two Wigan shirts . Loads of Leeds , KR , FC , Bradford etc . The one that stood out for me was the number of Hunslet shirts . There was a massive amount of people there that were not wearing club shirts this year .

I would guess at 20k Rovers fans, 35k Leeds fans.

Probably a fair guesstimate. Have to say the design of the new Wembley is awesome for keeping the noise in. We didn't have a lot to sing about but made a bit of noise and when the Leeds fans finally started singing their one song in second half it sounded amazing.

Fixed that for you JB

Official attendance (BBC) Att: 80,140

I love how annoying that's gotta be for the usual suspects, now reduced to hurried conspiracy theories. Keep 'em comin, guys

The capacity at the old Wembley was reduced in 1988/89; Wigan v Halifax had 94,273 for the 1988 cup final, whereas Wigan v Saints had a suspiciously 'round-looking' 78,000 in 1989.

Everything about yesterday's cup final was excellent, aside from the game itself.

It had the feel of a big event, the unveiling of the statue, a heart rendering abide with me and an healthy attendance.

As for the game, even as a Leeds fan, I didn't really enjoy it. I enjoyed the result, the records and the achievement and I was pleased for the legends in our team that they did what they did but we all like to see a good game of rugby league.

There are plenty of positives for the game to focus upon from the weekend but I guess Rugby League fans aren't about that are they.

Whilst there was a lot of noise generated by the crowd and the atmosphere was amazing, I wasn't convinced that there was 80,000 people there on Saturday. There were massive areas of seats available, not just in the top tier but virtually all over the stadium. Lots of the more expensive £50 and £60 seats looked empty.

Indeed, during a conversation over the weekend I was told that the 80,000 attendance from the final potentially included the Club Wembley seats, known by some as the 'ring of indifference'. Apparently, these are considered to be tickets which have been pre-sold and are therefore added to the tally without necessarily having anyone sitting in them.

Do we know this for sure? Can anyone confirm that Club Wembley ticket holders are considered to be attendees, even if they are not there?
