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

Hull Kingston Rovers fans did their team proud tonight that passion is unrivalled in Superleague.
Live on Sky Sports.
They were so loud post match the sky presenters couldn’t hear Hull Kingston Rovers head Coach Willie Peters.
This coupled with players going over to the fans what a club this is Sky we’re in awe of this connection between the players and fans unrivalled in Superleague for sure.

Exciting times for us at Rovers, we're slowly putting the pieces together, we've even got our own Virtual Terrace bell end now.

Willie peters was genuinely impressed that wheldon road hasn't changed since 2000

The Jungle is a brilliant traditional rugby ground. Salt of the earth grounded fans, and its intimacy creates a belting atmosphere like Hull Kingston Rovers Craven Park does.
Far superior to the soulless library atmospheres of the concrete block seated stadiums.

Willie Peters was taken aback the passionate loud faithful Hull Kingston Rovers fans throughout the match and especially post match when even the Sky team were struggling to hear the head coach speak during his interview.
Genuinely impressed by the Hull Kingston Rovers fans.

You are not wrong, the HJ does not come close to how it was at Wilderspool. Some things like peeing on a brick wall I don’t mind not doing anymore though.

Agreed. Due to the lack of toilet blocks (despite beer being served inside the ground) in ye olde days, a lot of chaps simply peed against the back (top) wall of the terrace. Due to the "alped" nature of terraces and due to gravity, suede shoes were not recommended.
