Championship Cup History & expected attendance : Sun Jun 19, 2011 5:12 pm  

2002 Huddersfield Giants 32 – 6 Hull KR Chris Moyles St. 4,352
2003 Salford City Reds 36 – 19 Leigh Centurions Spotland 6,486
2004 Leigh 42 – 14 Hull Kingston Rovers Spotland 4,383
2005 Hull Kingston Rovers 18 – 16 Castleford Bloomfield Road 9,400
2006 Leigh 22 – 18 Hull Kingston Rovers Bloomfield Road 7,547
2007 Widnes Vikings 54 – 6 Whitehaven Bloomfield Road 8,326
2008 Salford City Reds 60 – 0 Doncaster Bloomfield Road 6,328
2009 Widnes Vikings 34 - 18 Barrow Raiders Bloomfield Road 8,720
2010 Batley Bulldogs 25 - 24 Widnes Vikings Bloomfield Road 8,138

Crowds have been good last 2 years, it would be nice to beat the record of 9400 set in 2005.

Personally, I'm expecting around 6500 as there is no 9s event this year which encouraged other supporters to attend the showpiece event.

I think 3,000 each from Leigh and 'Fax would be a fair estimate, so should comfortably beat 7,000 with neutrals and the like?

think we should match our GF ticket sales which i would estimate 3500 minimum.

you lot should sell the same, not as far to come for you leighthers either.

about 3000 thousand each from fax and leigh some neutrals think 7000 + would be good crowd

£12 is great value though!

i think this could persuade afew more to show.

we should put poster's up around the town centre etc, and try attract a few more and push for around the 4k - 5k mark

I suppose a difference for to guys maybe the fact you have reached the last two GF's so the novelty of going a big Fax game may have slightly worn off as supposed to a lot of those games above were it was a clubs first big game in a while potentially.

Hope not though and be good to see a big crowd from both sides... Basing on them other games should be a minimum of 8,000 there

i doubt it, a final is a final. and we have never been to this one.

and if we win, we tick the box again, massive incentive!

plus you get a nice weekend out in Blackpool......dont you worry there will be more than enough Blue and White!
