We played a team from France who, whilst they brought a small and enthusiastic following it was numbered in double digits.

Yet the so called biggest dery in the game, the biggest derby game for years managed a smaller attendance than our game.

Is Wigan Saints now the third most important derby behind the Hull derby and us vs Bradford?

Only when its at KR



Jesus that train journey must be boring...

The gin and tonics and free Wifi in 1st class are helping. Hiccup.

Its' a bit poor though isn't it? Wasn't there some talk on the Saints forum last week about a sel out?

Is it because Saints now view ourselves as their main rival? Judging by recent weeks it seems that they dislike us more than the goons

Leeds vs Catalans is clearly a bigger "derby" than Saints v Wigan

you missed off the Catalans-Harlequins derby too!

Saints are the new Bradford.

Did the Leeds attendance benefit from the 'John Holmes effect.'

I know of at least three people that only went to pay their respects.

Isn't that right dad?

It basically means me have more 'core' fans that Saints and Wigan combined.

I dont get your point??

Supporters are supporters and they will all have their own reasons for attending any particular match.

I agree with the poster who stated we have the biggest core support of any SL team and this is evident when we reach any particular final.

Some may call them Bandwagoners or Gloryseekers.

This is an over simplification of the issue IMHO.

I think mr 1 is missing out the location of the game. i'm not disputing anything that mr 1 has said, i'm only questioning the issue that if the game had been held at the JJBDW Stadium that there might have been a bigger crowd!

It wasn't, so there wasn't so doesn't matter, its late!

No.

Last Friday was an unmissable once in a lifetime event.

I and my two companions were there for one reason and one reason only, to witness and be part of the minutes silence for one of Leeds RLFC's all time greats.

Without his passing I doubt we'd have bothered, how many more did the same as us?

Maybe no-one who knows.
