Very few Yorkies there on Saturday..... had Leeds been playing 5000 'Ull fans would have been there just to support their opponents! icon_wink.gif

FWIW, I quite liked the empty spaces, made me feel at home being a Salford fan icon_biggrin.gif

Quote: DaveO "78,000 at the CC, 66,000 at the GF.

I think despite the GF being the current way to decide the champions (which is us in case anyone forgot already Given OT is only a stones throw away for the majority of fans in the NW you would think that the huge cost differential would mean more would turn up to the GF (from the two clubs in question) relative to the CC final though. It would be almost as much as the ticket (if not more) to just travel to London, for Wigan/Warrington fans it's comparatively inexpensive.
I think fans are generally being turned off and can't be d as well as having to think about other financial priorities...

Least amount of nuetrals I've seen at a final in a long time.

Hopefully down to the World Cup.

I agree but I had a great seat for the CC at £21 (x 2) and while I had a good view for £30 (x 2) at the GF (despite seating problems mentioned elsewhere) I paid £14 for parking close the ground (my choice so fair enough) compared to a few quid at Stanmore and a tube fair that let me and my son have a nice wander around central London.

It's a valid point, but how many neutrals normally attend a Grand Final? As mentioned above, I doubt it attracts the same level of neutrals that wembley does.

Warrington's poor attendance was to blame, otherwise there'd have been at least 70k there like normal. I was confused as to the poor attendance from them, considering how most considered them favourites and it being only their second appearance.

Even before I hit the floor I thought I'd broken my jaw, but the cheekbone was so depressed I couldn't move it Shaun Edwards Leeds Fan on Mobile phone at Headingley said: "Alright mate it's only me, no I'm just ringing to say there's thousands of Wigan Fans here. Thousands of 'em it's swarming with em". "no fooking $hit sherlock,Barrett got his willy out and pi$$ed all over us.

I am almost sure the lad on the right as you look at it was in the Wigan end....behind the sticks in row EE...........

if not him then it was a relation of his with his Wire shirt on, he was all smiles and jumping for joy up until about 52 minutes. Then he sank lower and lower into his seat and disappeared completely with 5 minutes to go

I'll Admit that doesn't look good. I have a picture of your end and it was only the upper left hand side (my left, your right) of your end that had big empty spaces, good turn out eusa_clap.gif

I don't agree with all that 'corporate area' cr@p, A lot of people (me for example) could have gone into the lower tier, which is where I wanted to be! In all fairness I did think this would be the game to sell out and it boggles me to think why it didn't. It had all the making to be a classic and it turned out to be one as well. It was a great game, upsetting yes, but when you think about it... there wasn't much missing from it. It had everything.

I tried to resist the temptation to post it, Wire fans are hurting and it's not big or clever to kick them when they're down, but in the end my will to resist broke and I had to... it's just too funny... icon_lol.gif
