i would say that Saints fans outnumbered the Quins fans yesterday.

I have heard this claim too many times to take it seriously. If you are saying that 1700 saints fans travelled down, I would hazzard a guess that you need help.
There are 2,000 Quins fans who turn up for every game.........without fail. I wasn't there, so I can't comment with any certainty, but I have never, in 10 years, seen the away fans outnumber the home fans in London....regardless of what is claimed.
1700 fans is essentially 23 top end 75 seater coaches......I believe there were 3 x 45 seaters yesterday.....so 1,500 drove down for a sunday afternoon game?....er, OK

I was there yesterday (as a neutral) - first trip to the stoop for a couple of years. The announced figure was pretty close to what I'd have guessed. I'd have guessed at most 500 Saints fans in the ground, going on the numbers cheering when they scored.

Perhaps you would like to comment, go on fill yer boots

Not wanting to put the quins fans down here, but last year in the cup v huddersfield the crowd was 1,900 with around half that figure giants fans so those 2,000 failed to go to every game last year?

Is it possible for the moderators to institute a Flatcappers board where these sort of circular name calling posts can be dumped in?

Agreed, 500, maybe 501 if you include Bent Haler. Good support from Saints given the amount of travel they have been doing of late, good game, well first half, and overall another step on the road to Quins getting back on track

Go back to bed. Are you really saying you think there were 2000 Saints fans at the Stoop-No really

Warrington did it a few season ago when at Brentford. They took well over 2,500 and of cas did it when at Charlton.

AFAIK The King of Kings did on Easter Monday.

Sorry to spoil this by putting a positive spin on Crusader attendances but we've sold 4,000 home tickets to date for the next home game against Wigan and the goons have asked for 4,000 so heading for another sell out.

I'm happy with that.

I hope they do sell it out, Crusaders are good for the game in my opinion. I just think they missed a big opportunity on Sunday to get bums on seats and sell it to the Welsh public on telly.

How? It's not as if the club could do any price incentives or had any choice on when the match was played?

The Wigan game will sell out easy.

950 Hudds fans in London? Are you talking about the year you made the CC final?



Sorry, but in 10 years of watching London BroncoQuins I have never seen the away fans outnumber the home fans....how many times to I have to say it? London Attendances are my chosen Mastermind subject.......
Example. Huddersfield are the 3rd worst draw in London after the frogs and the sheep worriers. The average gate when you come to town is 2,800 ( I do not count the stupid 12k reported for the first double header).....I have seen Saints, Wakey (fancy dress at Brentford) Wigan and Leeds with over 1,000 away fans and HKR have been close once....but never Huddersfield and 950 for a challenge cup game in london...you're 'avin a bubble mate

The goons 1st game of the 2007 season best away support I have seen at the stoop probably 3000.

In fairness, the match prices were reduced from Super League prices (was £12 & £6 concessions as opposed to the usual £15-£20)

brilliant news!

the move to wrexham has surprised everyone with how well its turned out

watching a couple of their games and nobbys got them playing a good style of footy.

They'll struggle majorly against Wigan though I feel.

If they can keep Wigan below 40 they will have done well.

its the best team in the comp.

i dont think theyll get belted. crusaders look a fair outfit

theyve signed some fantastic aussie imports and the old bald union guy aint too bad either

They looked weak in attack and fragile in defence in the match against Catalans. Yes they scored 30 odd points against them... but I carried out some scientific tests involving a simulator on my computer and my grandmother would actually have scored 85% of those.

If a side like Cats can score 30+ past them then Wigan on a good day should be able to double that.

These 'fantastic Aussie imports' you mention... the only one that seems to be making the headlines is Jarrod Sammut.. and he wasnt even good enough for the Panthers

Youngquest? Didnt really set the NRL on fire.

Tony Martin? Its all been downhill since 2000.


Michael Witt seems to be about the only stand out player so far

it was last season in the cup game when giants had half the crowd, free of charge with the rfl offer that was on (4th round of cup free)

clinton shifofske too!

I love this Wigan being the best team in the comp lark


We'll see how they go come seasons end but they arent.

I genuinely hope they dont but I think it'll be Wigan by 20 at least.
Personally this week I fancy Hudds to turn Wigan over

Ol' Clinton looks so far out of this depth it's ridiculous. I'd take Richie Mathers anyday and thats saying something

you keep telling yourself that you were responsible for 50% of the crowd.....
