Which again, given the numbers, seems to be a bit of a porky.

Given that Huddersfield have only made comment on the numbers taken by Huddersfield, I find it hard to believe that Saints know more about our ticket sales than we do.

But then everyone knows Huddersfield only take a taxi full anywhere dont they.

Mind, they were very quiet those saints fans in the last half. (I didnt here a peep when Meli scored his 3rd)

By the same account 4000 seems a very round figure for the "official" number.

But tbh I don't care where the fans came from, or how much noise they made. The turn out from both clubs was disappointing but those who were there got to witness a good game of rugby those who didn't go are the ones who missed out.

Neither club are exactly know for the great attendances so I don't know why anyone is shocked anyway but the good thing for both clubs this season they are showing an increase in attendances on previous seasons which has to be a good thing.

And given the Wire-wigan game was only 2k more (so less than most Wigan home games) its not that shabby either.

Maybe a lot of Huddersfield fans were saving their money for cup final day

The Wire Wigan game was a sellout, hardly anything they could do there

Calm down Roofs......


.......if the John S ever bought a round he'd probably see me on my yearly pub crawl from Ealing to Wemberleeeeeeeee.....in my quartered vomit shirt!
He'd also do well to see that Middlesex isn't "next door" to Wembley...it's actually further than he travells to most away games

It so is. In exactly the same way that Yorkshire is "next door" to Leeds.


[url=http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Middlesex.svgThe county of Middlesex[/url The area marked "15" is Wembley.

Twickenham might not be next door to Wembley. But Twickenham isn't Middlesex.

You're off again

Yep...you're right.

According to TFL, TW2 to Wemberlee is a short bus, train, tube ride of 1hr 29 minutes....or if you ask the AA, A 37 minute car journey with no parking at the destination.

The rumour I heard was that there were more London RL shirts visible at Wembley last year then at the '99 final.

............ this is from a fan of a club that was formed in 1882, that then "played on several grounds on the west of the river including a spell at the Boulevard, later to become the home of rivals Hull FC" and had to wait 98yrs to win the challenge cup........as against a team in its 3rd year getting to the final, finishing 2nd in Superleague in its 3rd year and still pi55ing off flat cappers after 14 years of superleague



Take it you're not coming down oh pricipled one

Eh?!

You've been in existence since about 1980 haven't you?!



And no, I won't be.

Another key thing, we wasn't funded/given preferential treatment from the RFL for years.







Re Wembley, I can't afford it anyway - saving for our Old Trafford appearance.

And some people just moan ...

Or not. Sure there are a handful of anally retentive posters who can be relied on to do some anguished soul searching when they reckon it's a "poor" crowd, and there are a couple of bishop-bashing shyttstirrers who get off on such stuff. But don't mistake the occasional tosspot for the majority of RL fans who just sigh and walk away to leave such turgid bores to wipe the spittle off their pebble specs and wring their hands over their half of lemonade.

You doing the pre-match entertainment?

.....true...very true. How's the "special" quota allowance working for you

No, hopefully The Offspring will finally get the chance they deserve.

We're doing fine whilst working within the rules cheers.



Any idea when your next bailou... sorry, er, I meant 're-branding' is?!

As we always did.........just depends on what set of Rules the RFL were applying that week





I think it will be December 9th, 2009 at 3.12pm......but don't quote me on that

So the rules were maximum of 25 Aussies for the Broncos eh.







It's in the diary.









O/T If we somehow did make it to Old Trafford I'll definitely be there - it's in that M62 corridor afterall.

Isn't it the M60 round Manchester way?

I thought the area was always classed as part of the RL corridor in the north of the country though.

Anything north of the 18th Green at Potters Bar Golf club is "The North" as far as I'm concerned

And as you say in my sig, travelling anywhere past Sheffield is a real daunting challenge for me.
