some people (many moaning salford fans included) need to get a grip. 5200 is a good crowd for that game;..;..live on TV,...snow all over,....FREEZING COLD.....

People saying we wouldnt have got more in the sunshine are talking rubbihs.....the cllub sold 8000 tickets this week....I know as I bought mine from the staidum and they showed how many ticketst were left on the PC.

So 3000 ish didnt turn up because of the weather...probably cos they had kids and rightly didnt want them to freeze!!

Get a grip - it was a shocking night for rugby which WOULD have been cancelled if it wasnt on sky. Take that into account....5200 is still pretty healthy. Cas brought about 1300 which was great. There stand holds 2000 and it was a good turnout. Stadium wont change things overnight...needs time people....honestly have some flipping patience.

The numbers on here of about 1500 seem about right. Think they will need to open up other stands to away fans for sunday afternoon games in the summer against the local big teams like Wigan Saints and Wire. It got pretty crowded in the stand with aprox 1500 cas fans in.

Also only gripe i had with the stadium was putting the big screen in the same stand as away fans so we couldnt see replays when any of all 4 corners could have been used. Decent first visit to salford though.

Clearly there would have been a much greater attendance had it not been for the weather. But I don't think the club really helped themselves in a couple of ways. The big marketing push for the game started only days before, whereas it would have been much more beneficial to have it starting right from the day the fixtures go out. It all seemed a little bit eggs in one basket, with the fair and Amelia off X-Factor etc. Don't think it was the best idea having that, I wouldn't have bet against there being snow this weekend. If there was something like that mid-season, eg. the Warrington match in June, we could have a great crowd.

Still, the fixture was up around 50% from last year, which isn't too bad given the weather. If the Warrington game has a similar increase then the stadium will be pretty much full. It's far too early to judge though, we'll have to see come the end of the season.

You really think Cas took 1500, the Cas propaganda machine continues to suck in the gullible. Cas "exaggerated" Tigers - god bless them all.

He's just a sad pathetic individual who will argue to the hilt anything anti-Cas even when he gets proven wrong.

The stand holds 2,000 , Leigh took around 400+ to the friendly, Cas had around 1,4/500 in that stand on friday '

Salford stadium facts say the 3 small stands hold 2500 each and the big stand holds 4500

The north stand at Leigh must hold at least 5,000 then jc, it is double the size of the ones at Barton

I would never have said it held 2500 either but thats what the stadium facts say.
.

As it says on my ' tui ' beer sign at work

Yeah, right

Obviously vastman, knows more about the crowds size than the salford and cas fans that were actually there, and the neutrals watching on tv.

Or alternatively he could just be upset because cas took a decent turnout and he has a problem with anything positive said about cas.

I was sat in the main stand, great hospitality by the way, there were a lot of Castleford fans in the main stand as well who were very vocal. Shame about the weather, must have kept the locals away. Getting away was slow, stewards were having a tough time but the snow was to blame not them.

The game should not have been played.
