The start of the Super League season is firmly upon us now, with Wigan Warriors set to welcome Leigh Leopards to the Brick Community Stadium for the curtain raiser.
The ‘Battle of the Borough’ has quickly become one of Super League’s biggest rivalries, particularly after meeting in the play-offs last year, and that has certainly be reflected in ticket sales heading into the latest instalment on Thursday. At the time of writing, there have currently been 19,000 tickets sold for the game, and there is a chance it could be the biggest-ever opening day attendance for a standalone game in the Super League era.
But, what other games have come close to that number? Well, Love Rugby League has scanned across the record books to rank the highest Super League opening night attendancies since its inception.

Anyone can support a team when it is winning, that takes no courage.
But to stand behind a team, to defend a team when it is down and really needs you,
that takes a lot of courage. #18thMan
