Cant believe the amount of empty seats, space in the stands! We so deserved this game

very impressed with the brown/gidley axis. think they'll be a difficult team to beat this year. expect a response from brisbane second half though.

could this be warrington's year?

Yeh been very good, think warrington win, but brisbane will make this close. Warr missing currie and hill to!

cant get excited about this evenings game, similar thoughts that we should be watching the broncos at the kcom, close to full house


wire/fc- the rfl were always going to be persuaded by moran!

Yeh id like to think wed of sold out the kc

Big marker put down by Warrington.

Great experience and leadership from Gidley.
The team to beat this year.

They were the team to beat last year too.

We beat them at Wembley and Wigan beat them at Old Trafford.

Terrific spine with Clark, Brown and Westerman, all look in great nick.

i reckon cas will turn them over next week

Did we win at Wembly?
I'd nearly forgotten.

Said the same watching the game. Wire are the only professional sports team in Warrington yet never seem to get great crowds. Thought they'd have sold out tonight though.
Hard to judge these games as the two teams are at different points of their season. Ones in pre-season, the other isn't.

good game, I enjoyed it,

It was just a few seats in the corners.
It was 2k short of a full house. Not bad for a Saturday evening following an expensive week with a defeat away at Catalan a few days prior.
All the standing area except the west was sold out.

Hmmmm are you sure! Only 12k in, whats capacity?

14k presumably

15200 according to their website.

15,200, but how that works with segregation I am not sure

Unlikely to be segregation when the opposition are from the other side of the world.

Wires stewards will have been p!ssed off.
No away fans to start any aggro with.

Would we have sold out or got close?...maybe as a 1st time we would have shifted a few,as for the game...Broncos used it as a training game and it showed,as for Warrington,they have looked good for the last 5 seasons but are bottlers when it matters,forget the hubcap as that's a joke trophy and lets face it....it wont make a difference if we win both games as the Aussies will just batter us again

To be fair I thought the broncos took it pretty serious. Maybe meant more to wire to win but any Wayne Bennett team is always up for any competitive match. Thought wire was outstanding and beat them playing a s.l style game and not trying to simply match them set for set like we seem to do at international level. 100% completion in 1st half is unbelievable considering the rugby they played. Credit were it's due they did super league proud imho

Good point about SL style rugby and off the cuff....been saying it for ages,thats the way to beat the Aussies,they are superb for plan A but knock them off it and they struggle.Kiwis have proved it.

Probably also worth mentioning the prices were hiked fairly significantly for this. The north seated stand along the side was priced at £45 per ticket for the central four blocks, then £35 (or £40 I can't remember which), for the blocks closest to the try line. Other stands except for the normal standing away end were also increased by at least 10%.

I know plenty of people who decided to stay at home on the back of these prices.

That said I wouldn't have missed it for the world, a great night which will no doubt be long remembered in Warrington.

I hope the concept sticks, and hope FC get a chance to be part of it next year, as long as your playing on the Saturday, and we're playing on the Sunday!!

12,000 for a "Friendly" ain't bad. Considering its not included on a season ticket either it's quite a decent crowd. Problem is the cameras face the wrong stand. If they faced the South stand if would have looked rammed.
