Surely hull gets over 20k?Super League will aim to set an all-time attendance record this weekend when Rivals Round and Easter collide.
The magic number to beat for the six games across the Bank Holiday weekend is 83,357: and the indications are it is a figure that is well within reach.
That total was set during the Easter weekend of 2023. But in the early part of this year, Super League has experienced a boom in crowds largely across the competition.
The Las Vegas trip underlined that, but even on English soil, there has been an uptick in people coming through the turnstiles to watch Super League matches.
But is the all-time record possible this week? In short: yes.
Wigan Warriors will host St Helens in front of a sold-out crowd at the Brick Community Stadium, for starters. Officially, the stadium’s capacity is 25,133 but various factors will reduce that slightly. It should still be in the region of 24,500 fans, though.
That’s almost a third of the number required from one game – and at lunchtime on Good Friday, there’ll be another huge crowd at the MKM Stadium.
Over 19,000 tickets have been sold for the game between Hull FC and Hull KR, with the winners going top of the table. In the same fixture two years ago at Easter when the record was set, 20,985 fans were at the match, incidentally.
Wakefield Trinity play Castleford Tigers on Thursday evening – they met in the same round two years ago at the Tigers and 8,075 fans were there. Wakefield will be hopeful of a similar number and a full house at the DIY Kitchens Stadium.
But there are potential gains elsewhere in terms of breaking the record.
Leigh Leopards played Salford two years ago and attracted just over 6,000 fans. They’ll comfortably beat that and then some when they face Warrington on Saturday.
Leeds Rhinos got 13,234 to face Huddersfield Giants, and that fixture will be repeated this weekend. Given Leeds’ form, and the rising interest in Super League, that number should be beaten, too.
The one that may struggle to replicate numbers from two years ago is Catalans Dragons. They had a crowd of 10,786 when they played Warrington: they face Salford this weekend.
So it’s going to be close: but if the two big derbies get close to selling out, it gives Super League a real chance of setting a brand new record.

Bowl sold out plus 2000 in the upper tier, that probably means 21000 already with three days to goSurely hull gets over 20k?
1st v 2ndBowl sold out plus 2000 in the upper tier, that probably means 21000 already with three days to go
Same as last time, HKR fans can only (officially) buy at one end, which sold out our allocation in 12minutes! If that wasnt in place it would have sold out a long time ago.1st v 2nd
winner goes top.
MKM stadium capacity probably reduced to 23k?
So what’s the capacity then?Same as last time, HKR fans can only (officially) but at one end, which sold out our allocation in 12minutes! If that wasnt in place it would have sold out a long time ago.
Story goes, he had a small wrestling company in the UK in the mid-late 90's, mostly around the North West of England. He attended a Wigan game and has been hooked ever since. He wrestled at ECW November to Remember in 1998 in a Wigan away jersey, the event was a week after Wigan won the first Super league GF. Word is he was in attendance at that game but I can't find an actual source for that. Apparently the club has had a connection with Jake and custom made that snake skin shirt for him.Had to do a double take when I saw this.
does anyone know the backstory on why Jake “the snake” Robert’s is wearing a Wigan warriors training top??
About 24k I think for derby gamesSo what’s the capacity then?
I think it’s around 21k as hull fc have just announced that 20k tickets have been sold and only 1k remain.About 24k I think for derby games

yeh, weird! They are saying capacity for derby is just over 21k, yet stadium capacity is 25.5k. Surely they arent leaving a gap of 4000 seats between fans?I think it’s around 21k as hull fc have just announced that 20k tickets have been sold and only 1k remain.
Looks that way unfortunately.yeh, weird! They are saying capacity for derby is just over 21k, yet stadium capacity is 25.5k. Surely they arent leaving a gap of 4000 seats between fans?
Got a good feeling that Leeds will be at least 15kNear sell out at wakey. Wigan and hull sold out. Need a good turn out at leeds and France to challenge the round record.
