Whilst it woykd seem generally that RL fans have vited with there feet with regards Thursday games.
It seems certain towns simply don't want a super league side and don't deserve one. Widnes, Salford, Huddersfield, Wakefield.
Its simpke to me, lay it on the line to them, your crowds improve or you are out. Bring Bradford Leigh Halifax back in.

2 of those are cities numpty.

And would be good to have Leigh back in SL purely for the comedy value!!

In all honesty Widnes could have been playing Bradford last night and the attendance wouldn't have been any higher.
Thursday night games are always going to be poorly attended unless there's barely any traveling to be done. There's a reason why the RFL began subsidising the away support travel on Thursday nights.

Widnes v Hull will never get a great crowd purely because of the 240 mile round trip Hull fans would have to make. Scheduling it for a Thursday night just makes absolutely no sense to me, and proves that Sky don't care about the gates.

New york new york i love this town.
London town, its a term of phrase. A hole

Very little to do with away support, if it was sunday afternoon would there suddenly by an extra 3k hull fans travel over. The fact is Widnes Salford etr attract less than 3500 home fans most weeks regardless of when the game is played. That is shocking for a top tier RL side.

Have Toronto Wolfpack ever had an attendance figure as low as this? Genuine question, I don’t know the answer to.

I expect the RFL match review panel to review the dangerous tackle on 48:54 . 3 Hull FC players upended the Widnes player in a spear tackle .The officials bottled it .




48: 54 spear tackle from Hull FC .

Wonder how long it takes for Newcastle fans to travel down to Southampton and back.

All depends where they are travelling from.

Says a Salford fan.....now that is comedy !!

A long time, assuming they are travelling from Newcastle.

I assume you trying to say if some Newcastle fans are willing to travel to Southampton then RL fans have no excuse not going from say, Hull to Widnes.

Well some clearly are willing to travel but it's just a question of numbers. Comparisons with Premier League football clubs like Newcastle are pointless.
As an example there are way more Newcastle fans than Hull FC fans. Newcastle get what, 50,000, every week? Hull get 11,000.
I don't know if it's possible to find away fan numbers anywhere but it would be interesting to see if there were more than 5 times as many Newcastle fans at Southampton as there were Hull fans at Widnes.

Club coaches left the stadium at 15:30, that discounted anyone who works regular office hours unless they take annual leave. Now considering this game was meant to be a home fixture for us until a month ago, I think taking 300 across that b*stard M62 on a Thursday evening is pretty good considering they only took 60 at best to Hull KR last Saturday. My lad went as he managed to get a flyer from work and that's with us living in Cas too. I'm not getting into an away fan travel p*ssing contest, but this is the 4th time in 3 seasons we've had to travel over there on a Thursday night which is diabolical.

Thursday games must be difficult for most fans to travel, particularly across the M62 with all its road works and diversions. If they want to insist on Thursday games make them derbies, that shouldn't be too difficult for the fixture people.

I actually thought Hulls following last night was excellent considering the above.

The attendances are alarming right now. Thursday night games don't help, but they're not the sole reason. Put the game on a sunday and let's say a 1000 more fans turn up...its still not reaching 5k.

Good idea then we would finally get to a grand final and wouldn't have to put up with idiots from outside of East Yorkshire

There are probably more newcastle fans in southampton than the sum of all SL travelling fans in this round of games

it shouldn't be all about the away fans though should it? clubs have to work harder to grow their own fan bases. just because 3500 turn up to a game it can hardly be pinned on poor travelling support, whatever the circumstances. smart clubs should budget for home attendances and view any away fans that turn up as a financial bonus

How's your domination of SL going that you were promising all and sundry after your last promotion?



Enjoy Station Road.

No it shouldn't. All im pointing out to people complaining about distances is that they've got easy to football fans. What are they going to do should London/Toulouse/Cumbria united get into SL?

Station Road?

When your club ends up in the championship, and completely implodes, then runs into big financial trouble, then…….. Enjoy having no club.

Heywood.... I'll blame sleep deprivation for that one.

Either way, the best thing about being a Salford fan is we know what we are, a small club with a small but passionate fan base. Unlike the Leythers, who think they're a big club on the cusp of greatness. Jesus wept your lot are worse than Wire fans for your levels of delusion!.

Not at all, You've just made that up.

Do I need to go back to the old Scarlet Turkey forum and take screen shots to prove a point?

Nah I didn't think so. Look on the bright side, plenty of good away trips in the championship for a good session. It's great not having our forum on RLFans any more. Just good old banter between the dozen or so of us Salford fans without the inane dribblings of the Leythers or Castleford's Perry Mason.



Whose board is Neil Barker (aka Mario) trolling these days?

It's like you say, It was good old banter that's all. BTW - Mario is quiet at the minute.
