It's probably London's fault!

It looked embarrassing! take away the 17,500 Club Wembley seats, facing camera position, the whole middle tear was virtually empty. I would say more 63,000

The annual pilgrimage to London for the northerners has been diluted by the option of club games in London, Catalans, MM, Grand Final added to the World cup (this year) etc

It has become notable in recent years how few neutral colours you see at the CC compared to the "old" days

This is exactly what I said the other day in a thread, at one time every major pub or club, in many Northern towns would organise trips, people would often pay in a savings club for a weekend away, but those days are gone, a trip to London is not special any longer, even theatre stay trips organised by papers and local radio stations are not run the same.

I would say at least a third of the seats were empty at Wembly yesterday.I have never seen a C C so under supported.

Maybe -but those that were there were very noisy !

Sorry don't understand. The whole middle tier IS Club Wembley.

78137 is the official crowd must have been the Broncos counting the numbers there was an awful lot of empty seats

The upper middle tier I was saying was virtually empty, that is the one just beneath the top tier, the debenture seats are the ones directly facing the camera centre, plenty of empty seats as well.

There was a much smaller crowd for the Huddersfield final. It's a 90k all seater stadium. It's not the law to sell out a stadium just because it has a certain amount of seats.

Really you do suprise me its a good job we have intellectual people like you to tell me that.

It doesn't take much to feel like an intellectual on here.

sorry....I don't understand what you mean by that

The 2009 Hudds V Wire final was an approx. 1500 smaller crowed, not much smaller but smaller for arguably at that time and possibly now two smaller clubs
