Warrington crowd

What sort of crowd will we draw on Sunday ??

Given good weather I think we could push the 10,000.

Being on a Sunday afternoon and no Sky then our turnout should be better than Bulls and if Warrington bring their normal support or maybe more then 10K should be achievable.
A great game in prospect.

I think you guys are being a bit optimistic. We only got just over 7000 last season for the Wire game. Hopefully it will be much higher than that as we still have the bring a friend vouchers floating around. Still 8000 would be good for this one, me thinks or am I being a bit pessimistic?

If the Bulls only brought say 2.5K (optimistic) on a cold Friday night with Sky present, then we pulled in somewhere in the region of 7K ourselves. Being a night match may well have reduced kids and hence parents. Easier to watch on the box.
With this match being on a Sunday afternoon, not on TV, and with both teams looking good and playing some good rugby, we should be able to at least maintain or possibly improve our numbers. I reckon Warrington will at least match the Bulls so 10K is not out the question and not optimistic IMHO. Only Sunday will tell.

Looks like your glass is half empty whilst mine is half full for a change.

Bulls didn't bring 2.5k hough it was more like 1.5k. Wire are expected to bring 2.5k though!

I really can't call this attendance though as looking at the forecast it looks cold and snowy! ( always snows on my birthday for some reason well mostly, been around too long!!) I'd say 10k is acheivable because many families didn't go on to the Bulls game as it was too late for the kiddies!

From memory I think the turnstiles counted only 1,555 Bulls fans behind the sticks. If we can bring the same amount of home fans that attended the Bulls game then I think 10k is very likely. As it's the only SL game on Sunday and such an attractive fixture, i'd be hoping for anything over 10k personally.

Yeah but how many locals/neutrals or even fans will be going to the WCC instead?

Always am Looking forward to this one, should be a cracker!

10376 crowd

It would be nice for the Warrington fans to be able to sit down, after the amount of seats broken after yesterday I doubt the stadium have enough replacements in such short time! ( by the way not just the Leeds end!)

Is it a rarity for this to happen at a town match Nic?

In a way yes it is a rare occurance, as we only get around one or two broken seats often behind the goal due to a wayward shot at goal more often in the warm up. Yesterday I had around 50 myself and in other stands there were many more. If needs be they'd probably just "borrow" from areas not in use today till replacements could be found. One thing of note though these breakages were the sole cause of standing in seated areas we always get more breakages when this occurs!
