Interestingly & not to defend TW's smoke & mirrors/lies, I read an article in the Metro (now last week) that several Premiership Clubs are announcing 'official' attendances higher than the council/police are reporting, this is apparently due to the fact these Clubs announce all tickets sold including ST's & not the 'actual' number in attendance, Man City & West Ham are 2 of those named.

I would imagine that TW announce 'all tickets' given away free/sold/ST's regardless of how many in attendance. I defy anyone with eyes to claim TW have ever been anywhere near their 'officially stated' attendance figures.

The ground's legal capacity (fire & safety regs) is set at 9600. That doesn't necessarily mean that every seat in every row in every section of the stadium would have to be filled in order to reach 9600. That's the maximum number allowed in.

There are anywhere from 500 to 1000 people in the north end beer garden and another 200 or so in the south end where there are more tents and the VIP tents.

I was at the game (were you?) and believe me, people were rivetted. It was the closest home game we've ever had at Lamport and an absolute nail, er, biter.

'Seats' they isn't a seat in that ground

Well that's really my point isn't it. The seating is benches.

Oh, and if you are in SL next season, then you'll need to get the TV deal sorted so we can have video reviews for dodgy tries. The other SL clubs aren't going to accept anything less.

Talk to Sky. It's up to them. Currently, Wolfpack pays a local crew to do the filming and the Sky pundits comment on the live feed.

Says it all mate, local crew and shouldn't be allowed into SL (or the Championship either).

A Canadian team shouldn't be allowed into SL full stop. It'll end in tears and Argyle might end up biting someone himself.

Also, the fact that the RFL call it an ALLEGATION indicates they won't do anything about it.

There have been plenty of dodgy calls in Perpignan over the years, when there arent quite the selection of camera angles etc and I cant see it being too different over there. In theory, it should cut both ways

Innocent until proven guilty. To be honest I haven’t seen the video neither am I going to watch it. If it is as clear cut as most are suggesting then I’m sure he’ll get a ban.

He point being that until the disciplinary hearing has taken place then it is an allegation of biting.

That's supposed to be news? It's gone on for years and RL clubs do it. It's a topic that comes up every so often on here so I'm surprised that folk don't already know.
