Did you get rid of all the voices in your head? Do you now miss them and the things that they said?: |

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?'"
The club Wembley seats are included empty or not. I would think the actual attendance will have been 60-62k |

The club Wembley seats count whether people turn up or not but disagree with you about empty seats everywhere else they were hardly any in the leeds end and a couple of blocks in the top teir in the rovers end |

It won't have been 60k. Apparently there's 18k Club Wembley seats so even if they were completely empty there'd have been at least 62k and they weren't entirely empty. |

I think, if they'd put the people in the middle tier into the top tier it wouldn't have filled all the gaps in the top tier. That's why I would've guessed at 62k max. Just my opinion mind, I don't obsess about attendances like some on here!!! |

I was of course referring to when it was reduced capacity which was in relation to the post above mine that clearly was talking about the 75.5k Average for the period hence it not looking as empty compared to 80k in a 90k stadium that is completely open to the cameras...do keep up!
I know all about the previous capacity but as that wasn't what we were talking about at that juncture it was obvious to all except the faux anger to wade in without reading the thread types like yourself.

The seats are spread over three tiers: lower 34,303, middle 16,532 and upper 39,165
80,140 minus 16,532 would give you a minimum of 63,608 if zero people bothered turning up in the middle tier.. But the CW seats had more people in them than I was expecting. So for example even if CW was 70% empty, then add the 2000 in hospitality boxes and you'd have 70K. |

Admittedly only an inexpert guess but 70k is probably about what I'd say if I was forced to guess at the attendance.
Whilst less than some finals in the past, I think it's a reasonable attendance considering the very well attended Grand Final, growing Magic Weekend and the crucial fact that a trip to London isn't anywhere near the same "special outing" it used to be.
I think the earlier rounds and the semi-finals are where we should try and find ways to boost attendances rather than the final at the moment.

You cannot blame the Hull KR loss on one player alone, but it is also true that Kieran Dixon's gifting of tries and possession to Leeds made the game more one sided than it should have been.

| Quote: SirStan "In the pubs and on Wembley Way it "felt" like we were there in bigger numbers, but come kick off time it was clear that the Upper Tier at the Leeds end was much fuller than ours. For the purpose of comparison, I'd say there was 5-10k more in the East End than the West. I have to say that I don't have any idea how many we took.'"
According to the Yorkshire post we took 17000. |
