there are also an ever shrinking number of London fans who have had their expectations dragged down so far that they think being able to buy a coffee at 1.80 instead of 2.50, having smiling staff at a tiny venue where the pitch is too short and a team that "at least tried" when getting hammered by a mid table team after the week before being thoroughly hammered by a lower half team is a positive

London Broncos only source of income in 2014 is the RFL money and whatever David Hughes is prepared to put into the club....the landlord takes the rent for the offices and training facilities, the ticketing revenue, the bars revenue, the shop revenue, the parking revenue the commercial revenue and anything else that's going, including the RFL bribe ...sorry, marketing budget.

How anyone could take that lot and add 2 drubbings and a 2nd lowest crowd ever for SL in the capital and put any positive spin on it is beyond belief

Which I applaud. Find me a post where I said stay away?



Because I can see where this is going to end and it really does pain me to watch what had real potential being driven into the dust by an apathetic owner with no business sense whatsoever, an inept sports administrator with a 6 year+ track record of no success in cricket and now League but multiple failures, a barrowboy landlord who is on a win win scenario and who will never invest with no chance of getting his money back (his words, not mine) and a sports governing body who bribed the barrow boy to take us in so they could get to the end of 2014 with their 14 team SL in one piece.

Atop of that, we sit at the foot of the table on -80 points difference and have 2 relegation deciders coming up in rounds 3 and 5......lose them and it really is curtains.

Spin that as you will, but don't tell me it's "positive"

This thread would make much better reading if we excluded London & Wakefield
Roll on next year.

Dont forget those important text messages he gets from Ian Lenegan when he is diving into his pool of gold coins Scrooge McDuck style.

Leave the London debate elsewhere please. This is an attendance thread. Personally it's the end of the season where I take interest in this thread. The vagaries of week to week variances are multiple and complex. It's mainly used to peddle agenda's if the figures allow.

But regardless of my own views it is an attendance thread anything London based is going to be moved.

London have attendances too you know. Just small ones.

No problem with discussion of London attendances, it was the move elsewhere that was causing the derail.

To discuss Londons attendance, put quite simply yes in overall context it looks bad, I can't see where they will get a win from to be honest. But lets hope they are on the bottom of the downward curve.

I do hope they can rebuild and pick up more fans with wins in the lower division if that is their final destination.

Too many fans at Salford.

Sky won't be pleased, delaying their kick off, damn those pesky people turning up and not watching on TV.

That's a very good effort by the Salford back office team tonight. 6,353 is very good....VERY good on a Thursday evening when you compare it to the 3,248 in the middle of last Summer or even the 5,447 the June before!

I was one of the first to doubt @Mar and his ability to be in it for the long run, but if Noble can get the side playing a bit better than tonight, then the fans will return!

Must applaud the travelling Saints support, almost 2000 sitting and standing. Hopefully the 4,500 Salford fans will be back. Shame that the cameras were pointing at such a sply filled stand,but the terraces looked great.

Help! 4000 fans missing at hull KR

no freebies

Actually the crowd was up.

Last year Hull KR got 6489,

2014 = 7022. That's a roughly 10% increase.

The biggest losers tonight were Catalan 6300 in 2014 v 7019 in 2013.

So those two roughly balance each other out.

But Widnes got more in this year.

2014 = 5,577 v 2013 = 5,173



Long season of counting to continue. Glad I'm not doing it.
