He doesn't, it just fits his narrative of hating R.U and their crowds.
They've done 1 match a season at "Rugby H.Q"... for years and always get big crowds. Not sure if they've always had someone on performing or not either?!
I'd also love to know the ticket prices, as I doubt very much they were all £10-£20 each.
Either way 56k for a non-international match is a great effort regardless. If Wigan played Saints at Old Trafford with someone decent playing (& I like some of her music but it's hardly the Beatles) then they prob wouldn't get 56k.
The constant hating or comparisons is petty and mind boggling. Either ignore it, or applaud it. Don't rubbish it.
I'm struggling to take anyone serious who would think people will pay £100 to see Jess Glynn.
Well if Billie Eilish is £350 a ticket as it said on the News yesterday, I'm sure a Jess Glynne ticket won't be cheap.
Harlequins play a League game at Twickenham every year and always get a big crowd. In fact, if it was 56,000 they'll probably be p'd off, they've had 80,000 in the past.
@gpo1971 Jess Glynn tickets currently on ticketmaster for as little as 40 quid
8000 at Leigh today v Cas and 7600 last week v Catalans.Hats off,Widnes rarely got gates like that in SL apart from local derby games with big away support.
10,500 at HKR as well, who are great to watch by the way. Bodes well, it's turning into a great SL season in terms of competition.
For banter's sake though, there was a club RU game today that got an attendance of 82,300 😆
@sinbad And the game we let thousands in for free, can't remember the opposition though?
Just on those attendances at Leigh, they really are fantastic crowds when you consider the towns population is 21,000 less than Widnes.
