Thought I'd get in before billy boy!

Thread for actual crowds and thoughts.

What's the opening crowd?

In before 'smokeycalc 2 games 1 attendance or divide attedance by 2' repsonse from eve.

so predictable.

Looks about 45,000 to me.

poor

There were sections on ticketmaster that were sold out weeks ago that clearly had plenty of empty seats.

Very insightful.

I don't understand the negativity surrounding WC ticket sales.

I'm sure I read somewhere that the record for previous opening fixtures was around 41,000 (though I'm happy to be corrected). I think its safe to say that they have outdone that this time. So a new record, meaning the best ever...that's a good thing.

This WC is also on track to be the most attended WC yet. So again a new record, meaning the best ever, so a good thing?

I'm not one for thinking the RFL do a fine job, they do plenty wrong. However, I dont think the ticket sales, marketing and pricing can be anything other than praised.

Try opening your eyes

I thought today's crowd is a good effort. Hopefully Wembley will get many more as well.

Oh FFS.............Nooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

Worzel is yet another troll, so best not to respond.

41k is the previous record for a World Cup opener, so anything above that would be good IMO. 50k would be excellent.

I'm tempted to lock this one. We already have a WC attendance thread and this has no facts in it yet. If it's another speculation thread then it can go with the other one. If people have genuine figures then fine.

It came across well on tv what ever the crowd was

The intent was to discuss ACTUAL crowds not ticket sale speculations.
Still not announced?

45,052

It was not really a comment on the OP. It was more a shot across the bows.
