Apparently, according to the commentators, there were 20,000 fans stuck on the motorways for some reason!! Where the 20,000 fans came from only God & Dave Woods know 🤔🤔

Stadium was more than half empty , time to move it methinks . Great atmosphere in Boxpark before and especially after the game . Well done to both sets of fans, such a cracking night.

I saw that number on Facebook Josie rather a precise number that frankly makes me wonder if they even got to 50k tickets sold no doubt there was delays but 20 thousand I very much doubt it,either way it looked terrible on the TV it is time,and I say this each year to bin wembley off and stop deluding ourselves about full houses etc.

Tottenham was perfectly sized.

+1 - fantastic stadium, food and own brewery!

Hull KR just stuck in there and could have snatched it.

Emotional for the Lam clan, made up for Adrian.

The whole of the upper bank behind the camera's was closed and no tickets sold for it . That's a very large proportion of the ground so there was no chance there was going to be a decent crowd.
Thought's with the people involved in the M1 accident .

If I was being unkind, I'd say that Zak Hardaker put more effort into that game than in his whole time with us!
Still glad that the horrible Mikey Lewis missed out - he was up to his usual tricks for most of yesterday. Shame, when there's some obvious talent hidden by all his shithousery.

There were, however, calls for the game to be delayed due to almost 20,000 fans missing the kick off due to a horrific incident on the M1 motorway.

All in all, though, 58,213 people were recorded as attending the showpiece final.

crash outside Luton which some poor Hull KR fan sadly passed away in, stopped fans from both clubs getting there
