Wigan did this a few years ago by advertising games against Wire and Leeds as “The Big One.” They got 20,000 plus crowds. Each Club needs to seriously target a couple of games each season for some extra marketing.

Salfords attendance last night was dire

I'll never get Salford's lack of crowds. They play the most entertaining rugby in the game and it's a great ground for RL. Bizarre stuff seeing them unable to attract 8,000+.

Crowds at Salford have been pretty poor for a long time but UTD playing at home last night would have done them no favours

We all know that there are no Man U fans in Manchester.

But in all seriousness, they should be able to pull in more supporters from such a big catchment area. Even if there are plenty of other sporting and leisure options. The Rhinos fixture clashed with Leeds United on Sunday, as well as plenty of other events going on in the city, but they still pulled in 13.5k.

It was typical RL bad luck that Salfords grand final appearance was followed up by a covid disrupted season and then their CC final was behind closed doors, but yes they continue to play good rugby and should be doing better.

Anyone know the crowds for Leeds, Hull KR and Huddersfield?

The Leeds attendance was just over 12k.

The ground being in the middle of nowhere won’t help.

Sky commentators overwhelmed by the travelling Hull Kingston Rovers fans at the Jungle tonight.
The Hull Kingston Rovers fans stayed well after the final whistle to show their admiration for their team.
The Sky team and and Hull Kingston Rovers head coach Willie Peters commented on how passionate and loyal the fans are.

I notice Leeds took a taxi to Leigh. They easily have the worst away support in SL
