WARRINGTON Wolves' opening day Super League win over Leeds Rhinos was watched by a record TV audience.
Thursday's 12-10 win was seen by 396,000 - the biggest viewing figures for a Thursday night game on Sky.
It was also the biggest non-play-off game for a year.
And the third largest audience in the past 12 months - beaten only by last year's Grand Final and Leeds play-off win over St Helens.
Some 1,600 Warrington fans travelled to Headingley for the game which was seen live by more than 16,000 supporters.
