That says more about the BBC and the two rugby papers to me than accurate attendance. Hull tend to put the attendance in the match report. Not difficult to find.

I don't think they deliberately fiddle the numbers, just that they include every pass holder, sponsor etc who doesn't attend, count every cheerleader, programme seller etc and announce that.

there was no way 10,200 bums on seats last week, but nor are the club inventing numbers up.

9k tonight I reckon.

Is that with or without cheerleaders?

Wrong everybody that passes by the turn style is registered FACT Told to a meeting were the ground staff were guests

and you believe everything you are told in meetings?

38 here from salford so far.

Who cares really ? Apart from the dobbins

Seen that you have highlighted the word FACT in uppercase, it must be true.



I could play the devils advocate and say "Lets take the turn style figures and then plus the difference on with missing pass holders".......nah don't think that will work.



FACT: If you want to respond to OP comments keep it on subject.......The Boulevard days, FACT.

Attendance 9,821 which is a shame but it doesn't take the gloss off an important win.

String together some wins and the supporters will return.

at least the crowd made some atmosphere this week, it took several bad decisions from the ref to get it going, but at least there was some noise for once

Didn't hear it announced at the game mate did you or is that off the bbc website ?

First sub 10k crowd for a league game for many a long year

They announced it at the game.

Oh well for those that chose to stay away more fool them as they missed a cracking win.

I must have missed it - I was counting the crowd.

were there many from salford there?

Thought less today then at widnes but hell of alot louder. Thought the atmosphere created when defending our own line was immense.

Isn't the salford owner providing free transport for their fans on Thursday?
If so that could boost the numbers as that's a fair chunk of cash getting over.

Less than 100

I couldn't make the Widnes game after it was rescheduled due to the pitch relaying in the summer. I went tonight.

I mentioned when the Widnes and Wakey games were change, giving us 7 home games out of 8 ( the away game being the rovers away derby) that attendances would be affected by so many home games on the bounce being unaffordable by some. With the abject performance of the Widnes game, it's not a surprise that there was sub 10k.

The crazy thing is, after A poor performance there was always likely to be a reaction from the team! yet many stay away and didn't see a genuinely good display. Defence was outstanding, some good breaks, some players coming to prove a point (which on the whole they did) and a better show of discipline. One of the negatives to highlight was our lack of pace.

I suppose the question is, how many good performances will it take to get people back in?

Oh, and the atmosphere was excellent.

Clutching at straws.....springs to mind.

Where still in a massive recession.

Rugby League is run by a set of Buffoons.

B&W supporters are fed up with false dawns.

Where arrogant, it was only Salford with a team of pensioners.

On which part am I clutching at straws?

Can you point me towards these dawns which become false? Do you expect any club to be pessimistic in pre season? It's the fault of some fans who place unrealistic expectation on the team rather than anything which comes out of the club.

Where is the arrogance? And what's it to do with the level of the opposition.

He is and fair play to him for doing so.

The atmosphere was reminiscent of the Boulevard last night. Probably because most that were there were pass-holders and people to whom the success of the club is genuinely important. The 10k last night created a much better atmosphere than some of the larger crowds that the club attracts. Amazes me when you see some sitting there motionless and in complete silence. Maybe it's just me but I cant help but get animated and into it!!
