That would make it 5006 attending.
That makes all the diffrence I guess.

Your bordering on obsession with our crowds

As far as I know, we've average 7,000 this year, and this is with the mid-season dip. The clubs improved without special 'development' status (Cru) or 14 Aussies in the side (HKR), we've done it through building up a fan base, and getting success.

I was thrilled at the turnout by the Saders today, and yes, the crowd wasn't great, but I had to go down on my own cause my mate was working, and I suspect others were similiar. It's very narrowminded to think of us to be 'not in a Rugby League Town'. Compared to 5 years ago, the amount of Giants Shirts/Coats/Scarfs and Fans you see has exploded, and that's because of our Challenge Cup Final appearance. I just think people should concentrate more on those clubs that have taken sky money, yet year on year haven't improved their crowds, ground and team, rather than picking on us, because on 5 years ago, we've improved WAY over the rate of the avg attendences.

I hope that was written with tongue wedged in cheek

I like them. Their passion for the game is obvious. And Stevo's description of Briscoe's nose as "London via Norwich" was pure genius.

O'Connor and McDermott were obviously brownnosing Crusaders, and the sky coverage in general of that game was flawed - I am 1000% sure we were not that quiet, and even when we were lousest, you could hardly hear us, ironically, until Carney was on the pitch and the only sound capture devise was the microphone in Carneys hand, and then you could clearly hear the Fartown fans, and not the Saders fans.

It was a pleasure listening to Bill Arthur Brian Carney and Phil Clarke on the Hudds v Crusaders game.

TV pays the money.

TV calls the tune.

It REALLY is that simple

I like them :S

people may not like them but nobody can say they have done nothing for the game. They must be well liked as Sky have kept with them.

I think Stevo can say some silly things but I do like him. his passion for the game is truly there and I like seeing him on my screen.

Phil Clarke is a great 3rd man and I am a fan of Carney also.

Agree

Both sound like morons during the coverage. Tonight Stevos refusal to admit that tomkins was milking penalties by holding on to oppostions players is a perfect example. Stevo only see's what he wants to, and can often create something in his imagination if he doesnt see it.

Stevo is paid to be controversial, to take the opposite view. It's ridiculously cringeworthy.

A chip over the top...

The only way to win a game when trailing in Stevos books
