Trinity’s home attendance v Saints last season was 5231. This season it was 5815, an increase of 11% but I
don’t know what this ‘proves’.

you can slate Jean off all you like, fact is 3k is not enough to sustain a superleague full time team. especially without a rich backer. Salford regardless of being top (after 2 frigging games for god sake) they need to double that attendance and more every week otherwise how can the afford to keep paying the staff, two things will happen the will go into administration or will have to offload half the squad. it will be interesting to see if they can break 6k or even 5k on Sunday with Leeds in Town who no doubt will bring 2k at least for a Sunday afternoon game.

Salford's biggest crowds will be for their "derby" games against Wigan, Wire and Saints.
They were paying colossal rent at the AJ Bell a couple of seasons back and I hope for their sake that this was re-negotiated or, in the medium/ long term they are in deep, deep mire.
However, good on them for winning their first couple of games and their game against Leeds will be an interesting match up and if Leeds were to lose this one, the "faithful" will start getting restless and wishing that Brian Mac was back in charge (already).

Sure you’ll get a few who panic at the first sign of things not going well but I think on the whole the fan base understands how the fixture list has panned out and was always going to be tricky.

Fans of those other clubs hoping to push for top 5, throughout the season how many points do you think you’ll pick up away to Wire, Wigan and Saints? You’d hope you could pick up a surprise 1 win but realistically you’d wouldn’t expect any points from those fixtures....only difference is for other teams those 3 fixtures will be spread across the season (and some will have to visit twice because of loop fixtures, Leeds don’t) whilst Leeds have got them all at the start.

Fair play to Salford for their start and they may well beat us this week with their momentum but if they started with Wire and Wigan away and Leeds had Hudds away and London at home then we’re probably swapping places in the table give or take points difference.

If you showed me a million forum posts with only one Jean post among them, I reckon I could pick it out with ease.

If you want crowds to be better, how about not bleeding playing games on Thurs and Fri nights across the M62? But we won't do that because it's about making it inconvenient as possible so that fans watch on TV instead of getting off their backsides and going to games, therefore swelling the TV viewing figures so it looks great when it comes to renewal time.

If the RFL and SL really wanted the best of both worlds they'd make it so there would be 1 TV Game on Thurs/Fri or Fri/Sat and the rest played on Sunday. Maximum TV viewing, and other games on a weekend when most people are free and can make longer journeys.

The money from Sky for each club should cover the basic Salary Cap. So by skimping on all the backroom stuff, you could build a good squad on a low crowd as shown by Wakefield.

Because of my compassion for the poor folk of Salford Quays, who have struggled with the modernisation of Britain, and with the loss of favourite sons like Adrian Morley.

Why where's Mozza gone Bazza ? do you mean Albert Finney he's a famous Salford son who sadly has departed.

Re: The 'disappointing' Wigan attendance, 5% up on last year vs Leeds...

I take it you have not been to Salford Quays recently due to you hopping to bangcock

You do talk some sheeite at times bazza jesus

On the other hand, last year we faced the reigning champions, this year we faced a struggling mid-table side who battled relegation.
