That terrace holds around 2,000 I believe (I'm currently unsure of the exact capacity). Now, the other thing to bear in mind was that the total crowd was 4,165.

Your following, from memory, was pretty full at the back in the centre and petered out towards the bottom and sides. If it was a quarter full, that would be around 500 people. That then leaves us with 3,665 Salford fans. Taking into account people in the Main Stand, Shed, the North Stand corners, Club End and those inside the Club and Variety Centre, I'd say that would be a very fair assessment. Also taking into account our crowds this season and the comparison of Salford fans who aren't stood in those places this year, I'd say it'd be an even better comparison.

Of course, if you want to claim that you brought 1 or maybe even 2 thousand to the Willows last year, you carry on. No doubt if you managed to half fill the terracing on Saturday you'll be on here claiming you'd brought 4,000.

They never mentioned the 1000 or so at the Stoop on Saturday, it was a very poor crowd and I believe they gave the official crowd as over 2600, well a lot of them must have stayed in the bar.
But then again putting this game on TV was poor scheduling by Sky when the big Yawnian Try fest that is the 5/6 nations was up against it on national telly and mo watchany in that area of London would have stayed in to watch it, just as this weeks poor scheduling again it as if Sky could not be bothered with Rugby League.

you struggle to get that at home never mind take away. just think our average home crowd is 14000 yours is 3000 never mind

And? I'm not the one trying to claim our away support is around 4 times what it actually is. You stick to w*nking over attendances on your own forum and let us worry about the problems our club is having, okay?

Well said mate. Hulls rugby mad and yes they do have a good following but there's no need for them to ridicule others. Hope you improve over the course of the season and get some of your floating supporters back. Good luck with the rest of the season apart from at the willows v wakey of course!

Gaz thats a bit risque for this forum didn't you know all is rosy on the good ship Salford

cant be bothered with this anymore im gonna watch it on the box instead

Isn't this forum a better place to let of steam about things that pi$$ me off too though?
(like moronic fans who boo constantly, or those who resort to childish name-calling of our coach?)

Why is it that 'fans' who want to come on here to slag the team/club/coach off are so keen to claim they have 'freedom of speech' and yet those that disagree with them apparently don't?
(this is a genuine question by the way; I'd be interested to read your answer).

We took about 3000 to Saints on a Saturday evening and we took 2310 to Wigan on a Friday night so I expect us to bring a fairly big following for this one. The fact its on Sky and some fans dont like going to Salford will mean its below 2k but should still be a decent turnout.

How exciting some peoples lives are, I know this week I will not watch the match but count every away fan at the game, then I will count the number of chips in my very modern woodchip wallpaper on the wall near the wireless.

Are you being a tit on purpose?

Wit and repartee alive and kicking in Hull I see.
I for one will also be counting the pixels on my TV with a magnifying glass

no you are

So actually yes then.

Support is obviously an uncomfortable subject for you so we will leave it there.

I never understand why some of my fellow Hull fans have to turn the crowd numbers into a p*ssing contest. Yes we are well followed home and away and do generate an atmosphere but I also remember when we struggled to get a 1000 into the Boulevard.

For the record I actually enjoy going to the willows but miss the days when we all stood in the shed could never understand how so many would go up to the back and there still be space.

Favourite trip to the Willows was John Player semi-final in the 70s when 2nd division Hull handed your superstars their proverbials, spoilt my the numbskulls on the estate outside.

I'll be their with salford supporting Son in Law we might have to stand in different stands though

As other posters have said when it all goes wrong thats the time for the true fans to get behind their club because although coaches and players change the club you support will never.

I never rated McRae when he was with us so I can understand the frustrations. Nice guy but not a great coach in my opinion. Spose the difference is the stability of the 2 clubs under his coaching regime. Think it'll be tighter than you think against us, we're not the type of side that ever rattles up points against anyone.

I believe there is one post "ridiculing" attendances,hardly "them",is it mate?
For what its worth,I can`t see why there is such a hoo har over attendances.

Still dont quite get it do you

I wonder how all those who stayed at home will feel now...

No different finally finished making and setting up the Buffet at 5:35 and the first think I see on Telly is Lauaki scoring by walking through 6/7 of our team.
Second half was brill but family had to come first, but will be at Warrington for the traditional ruination of the Wires Easter.

i'm glad i ended up going, feeling rough for it today though!
