No scarves, no flags, no singing and (probably) no alcohol.
Perfect order and great atmosphere.

I beg to differ - the guy on the left front row is wearing a scarf as are a few others - mainly 'head scarves'  Loved to have owned a 'flat cap' shop in them days  |

| Quote: Starbug "Interesting subject , in 1960/61 the attendance for the W1g4n Leigh game at Central Park was 20,577 for a 17-15 win to the Leythers
The match at Hilton Park pulled in 21,397 for a 25-9 win to the pies
The sort of numbers that would have the RFL ' creaming ' themselves for an international thesedays'"
To be honest i think attendances have gone down due to people been arm chair supporters and Playstation generation.Alot of people seem to stay in now.Well i am looking forward to a good atmosphere, and i will put a few quid in the buckets.  |

IRN-BRU - THE NEW TASTE OF RUGBY LEAGUE !!:10619.jpg |

Wigan v Leigh in April 1990 drew in an attendance of 20,000 at Cental Park.
We played most of the game with 12 men and were beaten easily. Peter Ropati scoring our only try.

I remember that game. They were presented with the league title that day and we got relegated. John Westhead got sent off. |

| I remember the 1986-87 game v Wigan when 12500 packed Hilton Park. OK, we lost 35 or 36-0, but it sticks in my mind as I have never seen HP so full!!
It really seems hard to believe 31000 people in the stadium in the 50s !!  These pictures tell the tale !! |

The idea that RL was on its knees in the pre super league era is an absolute myth promoted by sky. The Great Britain v Australia 1992 world cup final at Wembley attracted a crowd of over 70000. Also a number of world club challenge finals at that time i.e Widnes v Canberra at Old Trafford 1989, and Wigan v Manley at Central Park early 1990's i think, attracted crowds that todays matches can't match.
