Odsal Stadium, Bradford during the 1954 Challenge Cup Final Replay between Warrington and Halifax. A record crowd of 102,575 .
Actually, the crowd at the NRL grand final between the Newcastle Knights and Melbourne Storm at Stadium Australia, in Sydney, attracted a crowd of over 108,000. Besides, there have been other Rugby League crowds of well over 104,000 at this same stadium.
Sorry mate the game was actually between St George Illawarra and Melbourne, Melbourne and Newcastle have never played against each other in a grand final. (correct as at sept 2009)
Twickenham stadium has a capacity in excess of 80,000. It is usually full for an international.
Wrong.
The largest "rugby" crowd in the UK for either code is the 1954 Challenge Cup Final Replay at Bradford's Odsal stadium for RUGBY LEAGUE.
The crowd, which broke down the stadium fences due to the sheer volume of people, was estimated at more than 120,000 by the police. As many as 150,000 may have tried to access the stadium.
Easily the biggest rugby crowd in UK history for either code...
