Gus Mackay deserved MOTM for getting that many people along.

On subject of attendances in general, I see Salford got 3200 (not that surprising, I guess) and the Hudds v Cas game got a miserly 5,200. With the season Hudds are having, you would have thought more fans would have been prepared to travel the 10 miles to Halifax.

Round 16 attendances averaged a mere 6613 (down 2665 on last year and the lowest for this round since 2002).

You lose the walk-up though for a game like that.

Does that include the Halifax kit-lady?

Facebook star if you don't mind.

Why are Northerners so lazy?

Last season one of the Hudds/Wakey matches (can't remember which was the home team, probably Wakey) only pulled just over 5,000. It's a thirty minute train journey between the two towns, roughly equivalent to the stopping train from Twickenham to Waterloo.

Is it only me who can see the irony in Harlequins RL Fans commenting on low attendances elsewhere

No, I can see the irony in it Gutters.

However, I am entitled to my opinion that a team that has won 8 of it's 9 home games this season and is 2nd in the league and playing some awesome rugby, deserves to have more people dragging their sorry s to support them (even if it means travelling a whole 9 miles or so to do so.)

Quins fans get loads of stick for not turning up and most of us travel miles to watch a team that produces about 8 home wins every two years.

Sorry if I sound bitter.



PS Their club's been around for 100 years or so, you know, about the same age as Paddock.

Never say sorry.......ever. We are London RL....we never take a backwards step!

That said, given our average crowd at the stoop is 3,605 over 73 games since we returned to TW2, I still would steer away from commenting on other teams attendances, regardless of if that team is older than Paddock or not



BTW.....6,582 is the average at Wakey this year....that's up on last year by nearly 600 a game and I would suspect that will get better as they still have Castleford to come calling.....not bad for a club supposedly dealing with the stench of death according to some.

It's not that anyone else has "low attendances", it's that they often don't seem to get much more for a local derby than when we turn up, therefore a lot of people in the heartlands clearly won't even travel ten miles to see their team. The only "irony" in that is that most of our supporters travel more than ten miles for home games.

A) they are northerners b) they eat chips c) they are northerners d) they breed whippets e) thery are northerners f) they race whippets g) they are northerners h0 they wear flat caps.

.....you forgot to mention the Monkey Hanging Business.....and that they are Northerners
