5k isnt a bad crowd at all

What did you expect? 5,600 on a freezing cold thursday night with no away fans to watch a team of under 20s plus 4 first teamers is a great attendance.

Cant really tell if you're trolling or just stupid?

I would have expected at least 8k and agree the opposition fans won't have contributed much. They never do.

If people had know what the team was before they bought their tickets it would have been even lower imo.

I was a thank you game for Lockers. The team should be irrelevant.

you serious?

Deadly. You're a very well supported team, I just think 5600 for the service he has given was a surprise.

Yea, Wigan's a well supported team. It doesn't mean we're all plonkers with money to burn. It was £15 a head, when you got more than one of you going it soon mounts up. A family of 4 would've cost £40, and let's not forget, most people haven't been paid since before Christmas, and have had to pay for Christmas in the meantime.

Some teams in superleague would be made up with that crowd for a league game against a club that brought 3000 fans with them let alone in a game on a feezing Thursday night with a team made up of 4 first teamers playing for 15 minutes, some u20's players and some u18's players (from last year).

I'll leave it at that.

To be fair, I can remember going to the Shaun Edwards testimonial match in the golden days when crowds would turn up to Central Park watch a bulb on a floodlight being changed and I'm pretty sure that was a barely 7000 gate with full strength team

I'll just make this point. Rob Burrow testimonial at Leeds tonight on a more convient Friday Night - Crowd was 4,100.

And this was the Leeds line-up:

1. Brent Webb
14. Lee Smith
3. Kallum Watkins
4. Zak Hardaker
5. Ryan Hall
6. Danny McGuire
7. Rob Burrow
8. Kylie Leuluai
9. Paul McShane
16. Ryan Bailey
11. Jamie Jones-Buchanan
14. Brett Delaney
12. Carl Ablett

19. Weller Hauraki
21. Richard Moore
18. Chris Clarkson
20. Darrell Griffin
24. Liam Hood

Week before pay day (after a longtime since last payday) after a costly few weeks.
Thursday night
chuffin' freezing
'trial' match

5 & a half thousand isn't bad imo

For the night the game was chosen and the team that took to the field I think the crowd was strong considering we have a number of friendly in short succession and this follows the Christmas period.

And the winning post is...............

pretty much ends a pointless thread.
