60,000 - steady on. What happened to the 90,000 Wembley games?
Fact remains Saracens always pick Quins for their big fixture.
Quins always spread the joy round for both Big Game and BSKO.
Only Newcastle and Bristol of the current 10 clubs haven't
appeared at either fixture.

15% Saracens fans, 10% Quins fans and the other 75% because
Quins are playing.

Here we go again... my crowds bigger than yours... Quins are
stardust, Saracens are dirge. Wages, conspiracy re selection and
criticism of trying something different.
Anyone wanna talk about the game?

That's a fair chunk of revenue. But houses aren't cheap...

When were Sale at either?
Not that I’m saying we should be. It’s too far and we don’t have
the travelling numbers.

Bristol would have, it was the RMT that spoiled that party.

More like 10% Saracens, 15% Quins, 30% because quins are playing
and 45% as the ticket was given away free!

I don't think they give them away any more? Could be wrong. Bit
mean-spirited though. Plenty of legitimate reasons to slag off
sarries.

A quick check of the numbers is quite enlightening:
HTML https://i.ibb.co/F4zXZBq/image.png
The three points on the Saracens line that I've circled in red
are when the opposition was other than Quins. (As a side note,
the first year they played 3 games at Wembley, of which Quins
were the highest attendance, so I included that). The Covid
years are obvious. For Quins, I used only the Big Game numbers.
Obviously the late move of last seasons' game had an impact.
What I think this shows it that we are consistent in drawing a
decent crowd, irrespective of who the opposition are. When
Saracens play someone other than us, their attendances are
generally lower. It's also clear that there was a gradual fall
off in their attendances even when playing against us in the
2015 to 2019 period. Maybe people are getting bored of having
the same opposition for that fixture, even as neutrals.
