Has anybody any idea/estimate as to how many went down to Wembley? I was there and thought it was a great following but with a placed the size of Wembley it's difficult to get any idea of how many Trin fans there were.

Radio interviews estimate 10000

The commentator on the SuperLeague+ live game transmission kept referring to the Trinity crowd as "7,000 plus."

The pic taken at the end of the game, with the team in front of the fans looked way more than 7000

Can't find any reference at all to 1895 Cup on BBC Rugby League web site. Lady's final and obviously main game get a referred to, but not us. How strange!!!

A quote from my brother who watched the games on telly - “ You probably won't have seen the BBC1 coverage of the Wigan v Warrington game, but there was no mention at all of the 1895 Final, even though you were all gathered there, resplendent in Trinity colours. It was almost as if the commentators had been told specifically not to mention it; strange.”

In terms of actual numbers, it's hard to say how many. Because it's a multiple final day, the 64845 obviously doesn't tell you anything about individual support. We would only know if the club told us exactly how many tickets they had sold. Then you'd have to add on some more, for fans who bought their tickets independently.

I think there's a tendency to exaggerate numbers, especially when the vocal support has been good and it's been a great win. You look around you and it feels like the whole ground is cheering with you, when obviously it's not. As a lifelong football fan, everytime I hear someone say "we took 10,000 to so-and-so", I always halve it immediately!

If you really want to try and estimate numbers, take the ground capacity (90,000 in Wembley's case), and try and work out the % of fans. IMHO I'd estimate our support at no more than 5,000, which is superb for a "secondary" cup competition. tbh I don't think it really matters. Personally I judge a fanbase more by it's vocal support, than by sheer numbers. It was a great turnout, we supported our team superbly and everyone had a great day out.

We know we sold more than 5000 just by the numbers being sold in the shop.

There were way more than 5,000 of us there.

Went into the shop this morning to return my clip-board to Daz and he showed me a video clip on his phone that someone had taken from the hospitality suite on the half way line of all us Wakey fans in the East stand singing "Wakefield 'til I die" and I have to say I have never seen or heard anything like it in my 50ish years of watching Trinity....it looked and sounded like there were 10,000 of us there









(I believe it was posted on FB (??) but Daz said he couldn't download it, which is a great shame if so...has anyone else seen it and can post a link please ??)

I freeze framed the coverage and counted every individual person wearing RW&B and by my count we took 10,007

I took my hoody off so only had a normal Tshirt on so it's actually 10,008.

I should think it's this one. https://www.facebook.com/share/v/nP4eZzZEufV8fLqm/

The attendance against Dewsbury was 5000 odd? And there was almost twice that on Saturday.

Over 5800 v Dewsbury

What about those you missed that went to the loo, a lot of ale was being supped that afternoon

Better start again

Wouldn't it be great if all these videos/photos were made available in a permanent archive on the clubs website, with a suitable acknowledgement for the contributor. I get the sense that this is a historic moment, the start of a new era of success (might just be wishful thinking, but its a nice feeling) and it would be nice for people to look back on this in 10/20/50 years time...young kids today showing their grandkids in 50 years 'that's me at Wembley with my mum/dad/grandparents when Wakefields success reignited'.

I thought there was about 15000 Trinity fans there…Luke Gake said afterwards that he thought there were as many Trinity fans as Warrington there….

The amount of fans we brought to Wembley has had quite a few people talking and estimating, especially on the RWB Facebook page I was looking at yesterday. Some fans say that we only had 7000 there, but I thought we sold that amount from the Club alone. Just from an eye count and comparison to when we've had over 7000 at Belle Vue recently, IMO there was a lot more than that. I'd say there must have been 10k at least that were obvious Trinity supporters and that was just behind the posts, there were probably another 1000 scattered at the sides etc.

Most importantly, let's hope that some of these who may have just gone for that big occasion, can be turned into regular season ticket holders moving forward. I know some won't and will just watch replays or on TV live if we go back up to SL. Hopefully, though this bit of success and some more at the end of the season can be the start of something that can push our attendance up, to something close to 8k home games. That would be amazing.

Don't believe anything that Luke Gake says. He can't even get his own name right.
