9,000 ??,well i couldn't see no empty seats, plenty of slabs of concrete with no one sat on them though do they count ?

Isn’t the MPG a split gate? If so we may have some feedback from Broncos on number of paying customers.

Don't buy the line that all the tickets were giveaways, much as some would have you believe.

And although some of the tickets were giveaways, the attendance was still four times what Broncos would have managed if the MPG had been played in London.

No harm done.

And congratulations to the Broncos. Visited Lamport three times this season, didn't whinge once. A class club with classy players. They won on the day.

Given other threads about the RFL operational rules and the MPG etc., how was it that TWP could give tickets away for this one, given that the RFL should have been setting the attendance prices for the game. I'm sure there's a good and valid reason, but I'm intrigued what it is?

Btw, given the announced attendance and the ground capacity, there would have been around 4% of seats not occupied (ie. hard to see an empty seat). It was a very good crowd, but certainly not at 96% capacity.

Also, given the enormity of the game, and so many fans in the ground, why would the PA announcer feel the need to start off any "Wolfpack" chants? Most grounds would be pandemonium (sic) with that many folk in attendance with such an important game underway.

See you next year.

250 tickets offered to my mate at PJ's...he reckons he has 150+ left.....literally couldn't give them away. I have no issue with freebies BTW.......what ever fills the ground, but not a chance in hell there were 9k there yesterday


I said Argyle would make them declare 9K+......the far stand was less than 50% full....6k at most in there.....and now he's got 13 teams to pay for next year

The attendance was over 9000, you can keep repeating your 6000 figure all you want, it doesn’t make it true.

13 trips on Mr Argyles tab please


Toronto v Batley in Copenhagen?

No idea, you'd have to ask the club. All season ticket holders got two free to the MPG as a thank-you gesture which we thought was a great move. How they squared it with RFL isn't my concern. Of my friends that attended, about half paid. Also, several bought season tickets for next year, so the free tickets are bringing in new, paying fans.



The 9600 ground capacity is set by fire and safety regulations. It isn't the number of actual bums you could possibly squish onto the bleachers. There aren't actual seats. Pointing out the unoccupied ends of the stadium keeps a lot of people amused but isn't the whole story. It was definitely the biggest crowd yet, after a wet morning and on a holiday that's traditionally set aside for a big family dinner.



Because we were losing?



Most definitely.

plus you are banned for 7 days

Neither does keep saying 9000+

9266 was the official match day attendance. Provide some evidence this is false or give it a rest.

doesn't mean its true, we all know matchday attendances are inflated when it suits.

Repeating "over 9000" doesn't make you sane !

It makes no odds how many were there as long as they keep turning up next season and enjoy their rugby league.

A London fan came on here, or on TotalRL, I can't remember, who went to the game and said the crowd was fantastic, all taking an interest, but that the whole 'event' was great

Pretty normal in North America - the fans don't do spontanious chanting like you see in Europe.

I've been to sold-out games at Madison Square Garden and Metlife Stadium where most of the crowd noise was PA-led - it's just the culture.

It's not just in North America, when we went to Australia in February, the Hull and Wigan fans were often recorded by the Aussies because they couldn't believe the chanting and loved it. We also went to the WCC in Melbourne and whilst it was a fantastic attendance, the only atmosphere was in the corner where the Leeds fans were.

Its what all the Aussie players say when they play over here they can’t believe the singing and atmosphere the only have to look at what Jackson Hastings said about the atmosphere at Salford and that ground is three quarters empty every time they play

Bloody hell, if he thinks Salford is an atmosphere then get him a ticket to a Hull derby, it'll blow his mind!!

Ive been to a few NRL games over the years and the only game that had any kind of atmosphere was SOO3

You mate have never been out of Corley let alone an NRL game. I have and SOO clearly always has a good atmosphere. At club level it varies from club to club ground to ground and game to game. Roosters fans are basically dead whist at the other end Penrith and Parramatts crowds can be very lively though the latter have had very little to get excited about of late.

There is even a little singing now at some clubs but not up to UK levels. I don’t personally know which I prefer they are just different.

I think Penrith might be because a lot of brits live their I know of at lest 20 of my ices relatives and their families live their and they are all big rugby league fans

To be fair to Salford they probably make the most noise per head in attendance of any club.
