Can't believe there wasn't over 26k at the KC today, disgrace by Hull's rugby supporters.

Tonga v Italy officially sold out. Another great effort.

Way things are going we should break 400k net attendance for the entire tournament which i think most people would have been delighted with before the tournament.

2nd highest RL crowd ever at the KC today (after GB-Australia in 2005) There also seemed to be a lot of students there (I make that assumption based on their age and lack of Northern accents) so you hope the games attracted some new fans along the way.

Very proud to be from Hull today! An international at the KC is always special!

Great work again. It's so pleasing to see a fair few of these matches reaching beyond the typical supporter base.

As said elsewhere there should be a real push to fill wembley

think they should get a new TV ad made for it, this time with action shots of the tournament. We need to really push this.

Official crowd today: 25,114

I always thought the KC was a 25,000 seater stadium???

25,586 capacity

Is that with or without big screen space taken into account?

The level of support, and the atmosphere in the grounds, has made me proud to be an RL supporter this world cup.
In a word - awesome.

Outstanding if they hit 400k.......

No idea but they wasn't a big screen put up today. They used the normal screen which is in all the time to show the game.

I think a lot of free tickets were given out I know my daughters primary school were given 50 free tickets and there seemed a lot of kids there but its always better to have full grounds then not

Oh fair enough,thought that could have been a reason for being a few hundred short.

Another great attendance. Which should make up for a somewhat lesser crowd expected tonight.

Well the semi and the final should net 150k combined (come on wembley, don't let us down).

Latest total posted was 198k i believe, before the last 2 games. After today we'll be nearing 250k. Then the semi and the final should (hopefully) net 150k which takes us to circa 400k with the quarters and a couple of group games still to go.

If the quarter are well attended and wembley goes nuclear we could even be looking at 450k.

@rlwc2013 have just tweeted that 1000 ticket have been sold in the last two hours for the QF on the back of Englands win today

so over to Limerick, will be interesting to see what kind of crowd they can attract. what would we be happy with? - about 3500 - 4000 would be a reasonable effort

5k would be a great, but I can't help thinking that this game would have been better played in London........

Looks like a great crowd at limerick for tonight
