but you would have filled it twice !!


i'm sorry i couldnt resist lol

Actually.......

sorry ........................3

Now come on how many times??? 350,000 fans into Hilton Park now that's more than three times!!

ah yeah but.........all your bandwagon fans hadnt joined up then - you were down to a mere few thousand

Just watched those Hilton Park Videos, Quite sad really, Never had much of an affinity with the place, only went 3 or 4 times, But thinking about the History that goes when an old ground is flattened is very sad, Seeing Tommy Sale stood alongside the demolition is sad especially given how much the place meant to him.

Still, Times change, Onwards and Upwards and all that

Wigan 47,747 v Stains in 1959.

I was there.
I believe that is the highest attendance for any league game.

Amazing how Wigan appear in so many record attendances isn't it.

not really ,they were quite a successful club in years gone by !

To be fair I don't think their successive title and Challenge Cup winning records will ever be beat!

Was reading the other day about how Alex Ferguson has won something like 30 trophies in 23 years. Whilst it's impossible to compare football and RL, bet Wigan won nearly the same amount in 10 years.

Fulhamcrusaderbroncoquins RL:Largest attendance (Challenge Cup): 15,013 vs Wakefield Trinity at Craven Cottage on 15th February 1981.
At least the 13 keep on coming back

Wires' is 35000 odd against Wigan I believe.
Oh and that famous day at the Quarry

120,000 actually

They reckon there were more there unaccounted for, plus the streets on the old roads were clogged and many didn't get there. Pretty unreal

Hull KR are so obsessed with Hull FC that when they got promoted for the 2007 season, they nicked the calculator we used to add up our away attendances

oldham's 'records'

Record Attendance for a league game : 28,000 v Huddersfield - February 4th, 1912.

Record Attendance in a cup match: 25,000 v Huddersfield - March 23rd, 1912. (Challenge Cup 3rd Round.)

Record Attendance (All games) : 62,217 v Hull - May 18th, 1957.
Championship Final at Odsal Stadium, Bradford.

super league record : 7,000+ (i think, might be 9,000?) v wigan - opening game of super league 1,1996 @ boundary park,oldham

national league record : 4,327 v celtic crusaders - august 30th 2007

The 104000 paid, the aerial shot shows all the stadium filled .....but....actual in game photos show the crowd actually filling the speedway track right up to the touchlines....these are the uncounted extra thousands I believe.

2 pictures of that famous day




the top picture does'nt look right

Interesting article here- www.eraofthebiff.com/mm14.html I like that they thought Laurel And Hardy playing at the Alhambra (local theatre for those who dont know) might have affected the attendance

look at the gaps in the 2nd pic - could have got another 50,000 in there - and didnt odsal look so much better in those days with 2 roofs

Looks like people are stood right upto the pitch.

I seem to remember Halifax held a 50th anniversary do in 2004 for the game, got some of the surviving players along and people who were there.

HKR's

Attendance Record: 22,282 vs Hull FC (Craven Park) 7th October 1922

Attendance Record: 16,084 vs Hull FC (Craven Park) 20th April 1984 (Post war record)

Didn't rovers play a [ihome[/i game at boothferry park at some point against Hull FC and get 27k?

1,071 more than us

Did they miss a decimal point or some zero's off

Surely some mistake from the biggest fan-based team in this or any other universe.
