When have Halifax, Featherstone or any other current Championship club ever attracted even half that number? (Answer: never)
Moreover when has such a crowd been attracted to a rugby league match by visiting teams? (Answer: when Catalans and Warrington played in Barcelona).
Great crowd, but Fax have had 29,153 through the turnstiles in the past. Ok, a while ago, but a one-off game does have a certain "novelty" factor, and I guess it was very well advertised in the local area. The acid test is whether this can be sustained week on week.
