The Super League Grand Final attendance figure is in but where does this year’s edition rank compared to the previous 27 season finales.
It was a case of three-peat or treble at Old Trafford on Saturday night and it was the treble-seeking Hull KR who came out on top, winning 24-6 in what was a fairly dominant display after they survived an early scare.
Wigan dropped two chances over the line but the game turned when Brad O’Neill was sent to the sin bin with Mikey Lewis and Joe Burgess scoring during that period as the Robins tightened their grip on a first-ever Super League Grand Final win.
The champions hit back with a penalty and a Harry Smith try and whilst the Hull KR of 2024 might have folded, the 2025 version kicked on with Jez Litten making it 18-6 before Joe Burgess’ last-minute intercept try put the icing on the cake.
Hull KR became the first new name on the Super League trophy since 2004 when Leeds Rhinos won it and they did so in front of a crowd 68,853, almost 700 more than the attendance of the 2024 Grand Final.
It therefore marked the best-attended Super League Grand Final since 2017 but where does it rank all time? We had a look at the figures.
