Crowd Watch 2009 : Sun Jul 05, 2009 4:16 am  

Surprised there isn't an ongoing thread to discuss crowds given our preoccupation with them! So here we are:

July 3-5th

Les Cats 9,007
Celtic 3,231
Hull 11,780
Salford 4,808
Wigan 14,977
Bradford TBC
Hudds TBC

Great turn out for Wigan, Hull did ok given there form and fans unhappiness and Les Cats was decent enough.

It was a good turn out from Wigan, great idea to work with Heinz to get more people into a game that would generally be expected to be a lower turn out.

Good to get them in and see a Wigan team playing better than it has for a long, long time. I would hope some of those people get the bug and go back again - especially after the first 20 minutes performance.

We need the money to pay for the new stadium.

To be fair, I thought 4808 was a bit of an underestimate too.
