Our crowd against them was a record 7,102. They were bigging up last nights game and saying it should be a new record yet only managed 6,353.
I'm assuming that Saints took a few as it's not a huge distance to travel so what happened to the new found optimism that was there? Salford fans not expecting to win?
I know it was a Thursday night and was on SKY but it's not like it was a cross pennines trip, plus Salford had a chance to go top if they'd won so where were the missing fans?

More saints fan in the bell end than we took, so less Salford fans turned out.

Marwan Koukash could become the new Ken Davey; throwing good money after bad at a team that the local populace, for the most part, ignores.

It must be a worry for the fans - he does not project the image of a patient man and I think that this season will demonstrate that you can't buy success in RL; his petulant outbursts about the governing body and other clubs holding the game back will soon wear thin and if he continues to not get his way, who knows what he'll do.

Salford should be using this season as a transitional one, a season where they can rebuild there previously poor brand, push to increase what were pitiful crowds and build a competitive side on the field. Not sure the mad doctor feels the same but they were the wooden spooners last year for gods sake, they aren't going to turn into title winners, or even genuine contenders, overnight. But the fawning over the 'Devilution' by the sky muppets last night was sickly, I think Phil Clarke and Eddie Hemmings must be on the doctors payroll they drool about them that much. Noble will make them solid through the course of the season and they won't be miles off the 8, maybe even sneak in with some good luck and some failings from others. But challengers? No chance for a couple of years at least.

Yep they totally overdid the 'devolution' thing, whereas our game against Bradford was very low key presentation with the word relegation used over and over again.
Fair enough it was a poor game , but their job should be to build up the game to entice any new veiwers to watch again and maintain the interests of neutral viewers.There was just constant negativity,Carney and Wells excepted.
