77000 it says on radio

If true, then that's disgraceful - what with it being more than the capacity of the Millenium Stadium or Murrayfield.

Can't be done, the RFL have a long term contract with Wembley Stadium Ltd, 30 years or so.

Stop moaning. It was fine- there were a few empty seats at the bottom, quite a few on the top deck and the middle deck was reserved for Club Wembley holders, who are all football fans. Still a lot of people there.

Who cares what the attendance was, it was a great final!

Difference between "near full" and "half full" was about 5000. Either get to Specsavers or remedial maths lessons.

Sporting Life website gives the gate as 76560.

Should have turned your volume up then. For once the BBC took their microphones to the game. Sounded great here.




Then take into account that Club Wembley has 15,000 seats.



At last some sense

I think you've missed the sarcasm in my post.

Looks like it

It's the biggest RL attendance this year, and people are on about scrapping it?

I respect people's opinions if they apply common sense, but comments like that are just idiotic. The crowd was poor for a cup final, yeah. But it was bigger than any other stadium in the country can hold so it was justified. And we're in a recession.

It was poor, but some people need to get a grip.

Was it? Paid more attention to the game myself, which was great to watch. The first half was non-stop attacking rugby. The second was all about defence.

Didn't hear a peep out of the Huddersfield fans.

Can I not watch the game and take not of the crowd at the same time?

Don't be asking me for permission. You do what you like petal.
