Will be interesting to see the attendance of Warrington vs Leeds. Was 1st Round last year too so better comparable than the other fixtures but it was on a Thursday rather than this years Saturday. Also Warrington are coming off the back of 2 final runner up spots rather than their 2017 middle 8’s spot so will reflect on how well or poorly their marketing is with whatever figure they get.

Does this clash with Leeds United V Norwich? May knock a few off the away contingent.

Does clash, but whatever away following could be effected by that you could argue that it being held on a Thursday night last year will negate that issue.

And as often the debate, shouldn’t be relying on away fans too much. Should be a bigger attendance just on the home team, on this occasion it’s Warrington.

Takes 2 to tango for a class crowd and atmosphere. Elland Road last year, for example.

Hull derby should be good, fancy KR to ruffle a few up

The Elland Road game was a special occasion and not one you can realistically hold up as a good comparison (would be like comparing whatever figure Catalans get against Wigan at the Nou Camp this year) The crowd at Elland Road was also due to A LOT of effort Leeds put in to get that type of crowd.

Whilst I get your point that the away following would help, the figure Warrington get is pretty much down to them and how well they do to sell it to home fans.

Seats sold out at Hull KR . East Stand selling out .

LESS than 100 tickets for the popular Compendium Living East Stand left for Friday night.

These will sell out TODAY.

They need to market the game for sure but it's down to the clubs to market their own games not the rfl.

Hull KR are set for a new stadium record attendance when welcoming Hull FC to KCOM Craven Park on Friday.

The Super League opener is attracting unprecedented attention and Rovers and Hull are set to be played in front of a capacity crowd in front of the Sky cameras.

Saints reporting very limited tickets available tonight which are mostly single seats, they is a good chance they will all go before kick off.

Excellent news, hopefully Warrington and Leeds will get a late surge and we will have 3 games on sky TV played in front of a full house or nearly full.

How is Castleford vs Catalans going?

Should sell out with scintillating attacking stars Samuel Tomkins and Antoine Gigot playing together for the first time.

It was always going to be a sell out given the current Golden boot is playing. Young kids from all across the uk will want to be there to see their hero in the flesh and hopefully get a selfie with him

Will you be attending jeannie, don't let the M62 traffic deter you from seeing scintillating Samuel and Antoine and the rest of the courageous Catalans clan completely crush calamitous Castleford, Chorley's not the other side of the world.

No. But Bangkok is the other side of the world. And Bangkok is where I am right now.

getting a handful of knackers i hope

Saints were telling porkies then

Wigan end looked full. There were a few empty seats on show though.

You are murray head.......I claim £5

Well Bazza even you can't be lonely there, my guess is you are in Soi Cowboy getting some Chicky Chicky, or really tucked up in bed in the Shire.

South stand has sold out at the hj tomorrow night. 100 or so seats left in the main stands. Hopefully Leeds can bring 1500/2000 and it will be a cracking atmosphere.

Warrington v leeds heading towards a sell out, south stand sold out, around 80 individual seats in east and around 100 individual in north so should be bouncing as long as leeds bring as many as they can over the pennines which they usually do

5 Dorrar, they love him looooonng time

They brought 600 last time

Was Thursday night last year. Leeds twitter says they’ve sold over 1,000 so far.

Hull KR vs Hull FC was a sellout and ground record at 12,100.

Rugby league in the city of Hull is on the up and up.

The interest will probably die down in a few months when we're all watching saints v wigan for the 4th time
