We didn't have to pay Double for our regular spot, you could pay on the day and we don't live in a city of a Million people (Not sure if there was a Recession in 1987 so I won't throw that into the pot?).

Maybe we should have done an RFL and held at a small stadium like Wire and got a Lovely Sell out for the cameras and patted ourselves on the back that we "Sold Out"?

As for being "mickey Poor", IMO you couldn't be wider off the mark.

1987 Manly game was regular attendance prices.

Typical RFL getting greedy again.

I don't personally give a poop whether there's 10k/20k or a Sellout the most important thing is Were in it!
When the Wolfs get there and decide to take it to a Big Stadium to attract the 30k they will take then good luck to em!

How many did we take to Old Trafford for the GF? Many more than it would take to fill the DW. How much did people pay for their tickets then? More than they need to for the WCC, add in the neutrals that will be there and the fact we still haven't sold out (we may do but I doubt it) is really poor.

Leeds couldn't even play it at their own ground and yet still turned up more than we are. The fact Leeds is a city has nothing to do with it - their average attendance in those years wasn't a million miles away from we are. It's just an easy excuse to use the fact people can't sit where they usually do because it's dearer. There's still plenty of the cheapest seat left that are still a bargain for such an important game.
