How many did the Welsh sell last year?

Its gonna be poor, just heard that Wigan have sold 1,900 and thats the best out of all the clubs apparently.

So if every club takes about the same amount which won,t happen thats 26000 + 4000 local making a very optimistc 30 000.

Personally I don,t think they will beat 40 000 over the 2 days.

All the local derbys back in the heartland would probably amount to 100 000 in one day.

Well not every club will take that many Harlequins, Catalans, Celtic, Salford, Huddersfield for certain will not take that many.

Last year Saints, Wire, Wakey, Wigan and Hull KR all took quite a large number and I cannot see as many going from these teams.

I think its becoming clear, moving it from cardiff was the worst thing they could do. The only plus side is that 4000 scottish fans will be there.

We're going for one game!

I wish i can go........

got more to do with them stopping it being derby ties IMO that and every game being on SKY, fans of most teams will be sat watching the TV instead of traveling for what is just a 'normal' SL game.

4 derby games was excessive and spoilt the appeal of them, but 1 home, 1 away and 1 on neutral ground would have been ideal IMO

Well it would for you lot

I'd be surprised if it reached over 60,000 for the both days.

Craig Spence of the RFL was interviewed on one of our local radio stations last night (KCFM) and he said that they're expecting just short of 60,000 for the two days.

IIRC it was about 53,000 last year so there could be a slight increase but there are another 2 teams playing even if it is only Salford and Celtic.

I agree. And I'm not just saying that because we've been on a losing streak in recent years because it was same four or five years back when we had a long winning streak against Saints.

I don't mind the neutral extra one but it's too close this one is too close to the last one for my liking. Only been 3 weeks!

Last year's official attendance over the two days was given as 63,144 so 'just short of 60,000' would be a retrograde step especially as there's now 2 extra clubs in SL.

Cheers for that, only 10k out

who said Rovers fans exaggerate attendances



I do think that playing at a ground with no roof on could be a major factor why the crowd might not be as much as the RFL want. We put up with sitting/standing in the rain/cold for 1 game but when some are going to be sat there for up to 4 games with no guarantee of staying dry then I think it will have a negative effect on the attendance.

I've just read that tickets will now be available to buy at Murrayfield right up to the final game. Desperate measures I think.

Not such a bad attendance then I guess with the capacity of the ground being smaller? if should be a good wkd.

only about 6,000 smaller

I'm going both days. Woo.

Originally was going to watch both days, but accidently ended up with a one day ticket (asking for 'a magic weekend ticket' was clearly too ambivalent) but now i've arranged to go meet an old friend and go round edinburgh for a day. 4 games of rugby will be quite enough in a weekend and i'll probably watch at least one of the sat games in the pub.

I never knew you had friends .







Take ur mate to the game.

Well she's my ex actually! so maybe i dont have any mates



She is trying to get a ticket, but not for saturday as she's busy at the otherside of the city.

Does anyone know if you can pay on the day?

Ask your ex to find out for you lol.

Thanks very much.

Best of luck against wire.

I went last year and watched evey match and enjoyed every one except my own teams (Cas). I felt there was a real festival atmosphere. I will do the same this year and still see plenty of Edinborough!

I think there will be a few bleary eyed fans from both clubs at that Sunday game between us.
