The ground did seem better with all the stands open.

Agreed, best atmos since the draw with Cas

Good to see all the kids-Great initiative to let them on the pitch and get autographs- Hopefully they will badger mum and dad to bring them again.

We have some big games to come at home Wigan, Saints, Leeds, Wire good for crowds maybe not confidence!

Did fellow Surrey-watcher Prince of Denmark notice Gareth Batty chatting to Gus Mackay before KO?

Surrey Cricket had a full page advert in the programme you may have noticed

I will certainly think about going back to watch a few games now if they have the ground open, i really don't think they realised how many people disliked the 1 stand being open, it was awful.

So when did they decide to open the ground up and get away from the graveyard atmospehere of 1 stand? Is this going to be the plan for the remainder of the season.

Nice to see 4k on yesterday, was there a free promo going on or was it paying spectators?

Quote: The Penguin "Did fellow Surrey-watcher Prince of Denmark notice Gareth Batty chatting to Gus Mackay before KO?'" No, but I think Batty's from Bradford so he was probably supporting the visitors. Didn't see the advert for Surrey cricket, I assume it was primarily for the Twenty20 competition that's just got underway. If anyone's thinking of going, be aware it's £25 to pay on the day, which I think is too much for a competition whose original aim was to fill cricket grounds with people who wouldn't normally think of spending a day at a cricket match: www.kiaoval.com/series/friends-p ... 20/seating

Couldn't make the game as off on hols tomorrow so had to save my petrol.

But the guy who was doing the radio commentary seem to think there was more then the 4000+ that was announced..

but listening to the game it sure did sound better with all sides open. It does add to a better commentary when you can hear the crowds around him..

Funny thing is again he left his mic n at half time and you could hear talking with someone who must have be doing cover for Bulls and telling him he cant believe that Quins were behind. He was also saying its down to the right side defence again,other guy seemed to agree and said been your problem all season.. So they notice.

nearly passed out from shock when i walked through the turnstiles and saw a decent number of fans sat in every stand. It felt like I supported a proper RL club for once. Got to keep it up.

nice thing with the whole ground open was the kids going up to the non playing lads sat in the stand and getting autographs! means a lot to fans that the players are willing to interact a bit like that, the stuff that goes on after the game in the bar is fair enough but lot of folk dont want to hang around for 45

What are the odds that all 4 sides will be open for the Wigan, Saints Wire or Leeds games?

knowing the club! not a chance

Open for Wigan, Leeds, St Helens, Wire

Is it? makes the ground look so much better.
