I suspect they must count season passes if they have turned up or not, as I guess a few season pass holders watched on telly.
I'll tell you what though, in respect of shutting that end, I don't like change, I had to not stand where I always do for the first home game since....well...ever frankly, (20 odd years standing in the same area) and Odsal just looked plain wrong from my new perspective in the corner by the touchdown. The sooner that end is back open the better, I fear change...'"
I had some idiot with a scarf, jester hat and flag standing in my spot in my corner. A grown man with a flag! Singing and cheering I don't like it they are a different type of people that stand at that end of the terrace. I felt like poor old Nicholas Winterton having to travel in standard class.
Nowhere near 8000 there last night. I got in had to walk round because the steps had all been closed. Got to the bar (was impressed to see they've had a joiner in for the step) and noticed through the windows that the pop side had been closed (although a steward did tell me that a member of staff had slipped on there that afternoon) and said to my brother that we'd better get out there to get a decent spot but there was still loads of space.
For the performance it bred confidence in the team and I think we looked white hot in attack but will need to stiffen up in defence. Had Cas been better we'd have struggled to get the momentum so we need to kick on.
Still a fight back was what I personally wanted to see and that's what I got. Brilliant and good for them. I thought Mr Ox, Langley and Mr Beaver were outstanding. Mr beaver is the best player in Super league. Go and get Salford now!
