Not much slips past you does it.

As long as you're happy...but it is a thread about crowds!

The points you got might count for nothing when Koucash gets fed up of flogging a dead donkey.

Plastic club.

He threw one ball at the whole crowd?! Was it a really big ball that got everyone in one go, or did he keep retrieving it and throwing it at the heads of each Salford fan one by one until he'd 'incited' them all?

Another idiot on RL Fans, maybe it could bang you on the head.

Sinfield's a right scumbag. He keeps kicking it into the crowd every time Leeds score. The RFL need to do something. Won't somebody please think of the children.

Wonder if he thought he was playing dodgeball? If a Salford fan had've caught it, it would mean he was out and another Salford fan would be back in play.

players should take some care i agree, but to more or less sweep crowd disturbances under the carpet because of a players actions is ridiculous, Miller didn't tell the salford fans to throw stuff at him, just like when it happened vs us,
if you go to a sports game where emotions run high,emotional players celebrate a bit too much for your liking then you really shouldn't be putting yourself through this.

ATEOTD, the people in the stands are responsible for their actions not the players on the field, i would have thought there was enough sticks to poke Salford with lately without the fans having to make an ever bigger target for their circus club to ridiculed and put down even more.

excellent turn out that, well done

ban every kicker and every player who throws a ball away after they've scored because a few braindead Salford fans can't handle themselves in public!

Spot on. As you said it's the fans who are responsible for their own behaviour. It'd be like condoning throwing things at a ref just because he made some poor decisions.

I don't understand people who get THAT wound up at games. Don't get me wrong I love live RL games, my friends always say the rest of the week I'm a boring sod but on a Friday night at the rugby I suddenly come alive, but I simply don't get how people can get so worked up to the point of invading the pitch (either to celebrate or have a go), fighting, throwing things etc.

I simply don't understand how fully grown adults can act like that just because of what happens in a game.

To be fair after watching the highlights, Miller does launch the ball directly into the crowd. Not the usual where a player throws it into the air into the crowd, he does properly it launch it directly at the fans. There was no need for it. A warning and a slap on the wrist should suffice.

That said doesn't excuse fans then throwing beer at him. Incidents like this are creeping into the game but the RFL are weak on it. Wakey I think had a suspended fine from last year against Widnes. Then thy had an incident against Castleford at the beginning of the season and again got a suspended fine. It needs nipping in the bud.

Not singelling out any club as they all have ther idiots! But the RFL need to start being tougher on crowd incidents.

Miller did well to actually find a fan on the terrace to hit.

Not sure what you expect to gain from declaring my name on here, but it's hardly a secret given the amount of correspondence between me, the RFL and the club over the years coupled with the handful of Broncos friends I have on Facebook and even some on Linked In. I don't "hide" my identity and stand by everything that I have said regarding the club. As for being embarrassed of Barnaby as my name? Are you 5yrs old?
Does your need to "out me" stem from your inability to engage in reasoned debate?

ThePhotocopier, like his alter ego The Cranewife are two user ID's set up specifically to follow me around, with ThePhotocopier randomly copying and pasting my posts and The Cranewife following my posts with the word DRONE.
It's like alternative comedy without the comedy, but if it stops them bothering others, I am happy to keep them occupied.

even more lost now!

They are 2 users specifically set up to Troll what they perceive to be a Troll.

There arent many London fan around but some of them have got some seriously deep rooted problems with the club and each other

Think of it a bit like Castleford. It's only a small place but boy the relationships are complicated.

Cheers. I'm off to clean the coffee out of my keyboard....

can it not be done via PM though?
the post i quoted had nothing to do wit the OP?
it wasn't even aimed at a particular poster either, oh i love the VT

Somebody help me!!!

At the risk of getting this back on topic.
Round 1 delivered 58,848 fans over 12 games (4,904) against a seasons average total of 66,683 (5,557), so 13% down on against seasons averages across both divisions.

This weeks games are as follows. (seasons average)

Thursday
Castleford v Wire (7,46icon_cool.gif
Friday
Leeds v Wigan(15,921)
St Helens v Hull FC (11,81icon_cool.gif
Huddersfield v Catalans (5,873)
Saturday
Wakefield v Bradford (3,989)
Whitehaven v London (931)
Sunday
Hull KR v Halifax (8,025)
Widnes v Sheffield (6,234)
Salford v Leigh (4,167)
Doncaster v Fev (1,215)
Batley v Dewsbury (983)
Hunslet v Workington (872)

An "average" turn out for these games would be 67,505 (5,625) but with St Helens v Hull a must win for both sides, as with Wakefield v Bradford and Salford v Leigh will we see a bigger turn out?
Will every second start to count?

Not bad at all when compared to the attendances at both Salford & Wakey fthis season *& last season too most probably*.

Slightly disappointing that it was under 6k really, I thought KR travelled in big numbers usually but not for this one.
I can't blame KR fans for not travelling to Leigh, it's a long trek over them thar hills & with maybe a feeling that it was an away win dead cert & also with CC Final tickets to buy it might have put many off.

Recently I feel that the Leigh Media Team have almost completely taken their foot off the gas as far as promoting matches is concerned. The club did a great job early on in getting the Town buzzing & 7,500 for the season opener against Bradford, maybe the Club need to revisit promotion strategies.

Todays casual fan might be tomorrows Life Long Fan.
