LANE HOSTS ANOTHER
MILESTONE MOMENT
England’s recent Rugby League World
Cup showdown against Greece produced
a record breaking game on another
showpiece afternoon for Bramall Lane.
United’s historic home saw England
defeat Greece 94-4, their biggest victory
in a World Cup match, as the Lane again
showed its ability to successfully stage
major sporting occasions.
A crowd in excess of 18,000, a record
attendance for a rugby league match in
Sheffield, saw England run in 17 tries, with
Dom Young going over four times for
Shaun Wane’s side.
Dave McCarthy, United’s head of
operations, said: “It was an amazing day
from start to finish. The work to first of all
secure Bramall Lane as a venue, started
way back in January 2018, so to see it all
to such a wonderful fruition in October
2022 was both satisfying and amazing in
equal measure.
“A record attendance for a rugby league
game in the steel city of Sheffield is all we
could have asked for. Bramall Lane looked
amazing, and it was great to have 18,000
plus enjoying the city and contributing to
the local economy.”
