It will be the slowest game in living memory with Wigan getting away with murder !!
The last sell out I remember was the 2002 Challenge cup game which was limited to a 9700 capacity due to H&S. Adrian Lam remembers that game well as it was 16-16 with 10 to go !!
Not as old as some of my elder friends on here, but the one big crowd I remember was the one in Sept 1986 v Wigan when just under 13000 crammed into Hilton Park. Absolutely miles more than the crowd announced (12300) as hundreds climbed over instead of queuing (me being one of them) !! Happy Days. We lost 35-0 !! Wigan beat Manly soon after.
