To increase crowds and interest in the 4th round games, particularly games against lower league teams

Having been at the game, I'd say you could add another 2k to that figure

| I was there and it was more like 5,000.
The stand holds 7,000 and was pretty damn full.

| I've a feeling they haven't counted any of the free tickets and 2,950 was the paying gate. That makes sense and if so it isn't fiddling Wigan of anything.

Do you think that by not counting the free tickets that part of the reason for offering them in the first place is being lost? For my thinking the scheme has two purposes; firstly to get more people to go to the games (which has worked) and secondly to show the public that fans are going to these games and that the challenge cup IS still important to RL fans. Just because it's not covered and financed by SKY doesn't mean it's not important and doesn't exist.
When Jo Public/ casual SKY TV spectator scrolls down the CC results/attendances he'll see less than 3k went to see the SL leaders play at Sheffield and think... poor showing, obviously CC doesn't matter.
Or.... am I way out on this?

I nearly fell off my seat when that figure was announced. I guess there were spaces at the end of the stands, but it was packed in most parts. No way were there only 2950 spectators at that game!

If that was the official crowd, bramall lane must only hold about 16k

| Quote ="Bilko"They have. Sheffield did a big complaint about it.
But is 3,000 away fans coming from free buying pints, food and whatever etc better than 1,000 or less turning up and paying £15ish quid to get in? Remember the admission fee would be shared with the other club anyway. They don't have to share the takings from the bars. We would take anywhere near 3,000 paying full admission so surely it offsets some of the loss?
Does my argument make any sense?
'"
It might if Sheffield got anything from the bars.
