Quote: boost "Not sure how many that stand holds but it was 2/3rds full at most.'"


I think it holds 4,200.......regardless of the actual attendance, 1700 or 3000....it is still a worry that the club spent money in Metro, offered loads of freebies/cheap tickets to ST holders, it was the first home game of the season and yet we struggled to get a decent crowd.
Let's hope they continue with some activity in Metro through the whole season and come up with some good "local" initiatives.....

from where i was sat the for sammuts second try the defence was compacted so much on the left there was acres of space for sammut to play with, so sorry have to say it was as much a team problem, Sammut was always going to be the problem man.
I not watched the tries on tv yet, so happy to be proved wrong but looked like we had poss 3 defenders that side of the sticks!!!!

I'm an 'm62er' as you call us! I'm one of the ones who wants RL in London to thrive because my sport comes before my club. If you got over 3k, even if it's for tax purposes, you should have reported it as that. I just think it would be a lot better publcity-wise.

Good luck for the season by the way. Even though you cost me a fortune last week by coupon-busting me.

Quote: The Penguin "And as for 1700 - that simply can't be right. There was 3,000 there - not that that is anything to shout about in itself.'"

I arrived just before kick off and walked right along the front of the stand to get to the end we were kicking towards. That stand was about half full, i.e. 2,000, with about eighty behind the sticks. Official attendance was maybe a bit light, but not by much.

I enjoyed the game, but Quins should have won a bit more convincingly. Looking at the fixture list it's hard to see where any more points will come from in the next four games, but we've made a good start, so "onwards and upwards". I feel more enthusiastic than in the last few seasons.

Quote: poplar panther "However, all the M62ers are on our case again. League in London has failed etc. etc.. So we may have shot ourselves in the foot by giving the paying speccies instead of the total including freebies. However if we play like that all season, the floaters will come back. A lot of the M62ers are probably jealous of our league position. We will get clobbered at Leeds on Friday but if we are competitive at home that we do me fine. We are still a work in progress but at least we are progressing.'"


There does seem to be a bias against teams outside the M62 corridor up here. I can't understand it though - it's very backwards thinking from my fellow Northerners. Personally I would like all of the expansion teams (and apologies if you're offended by that term!) to succeed - it can only be good for the game if Quins, Catalans and Crusaders start producing youngsters, putting out good teams and draw good crowds. Talk of throwing any of those teams out for Leigh, or other such League sides is madness. If I was in charge, Toulouse would be in with a shot of a license this time around.

Oh, enjoy Mellor and Pryce. He gets a lot of stick from the home crowd, but I think Karl is an excellent little (ha!) player. Teams are terrified of attacking his wing, and he falls over the line with the best of them. Mellor has been spoken in the same breath as S. Tomkins at Wigan, so it'll be interesting to see how he performs for you guys as the season progresses.

Quote: Kelvin's Ferret "I think some of the criticism of Clubby is getting silly now, there's a lot of confirmation bias going on with comments like that, people who've decided in advance and are just singling out things that suit the argument.'"


Agreed. I've only seen the tries on Sky Sports but the second Sammut effort was due to lack of numbers, not an individual error. Granted, Clubb missed a 1-on-1 for the first Sammut try but, again, there was a lack of lateral movement inside him - when anyone is left 1-on-1 it means there's been already been a defensive failure to read the play.

The most pleasing aspect of the game for me was our kicking game. We may actually have an English half-back who can kick the ball to stay in the in-goal area!
We should have won by a bigger margin, and they did bomb a great opportunity to steal the game from us late on.
I did think we looked really great in the spell when Chad went to 9 and Bailey operated at 6 (and that is no disrespect to Andy Ellis who had a fine game). As the combinations settle down I think we'll be better with ball in hand, although I've got to say Dorn's try early in the second half really was a joy.
Great to see KT's go forward - the whole team lifted when he came on. It does annoy me though that we let that lazy, greedy get Sammut over for 2 tries.

Think criticism of Howell unfair. He had a poor game by his standards, but he nade the decisive break for the winning try, and he is a consistent try scorer.

Thought bailey at stand-off looked good, Cad at 7 still doesnt feel right - may be worth giving Mellor a go and spelling Ellis/Randell. would like to see Pyrce given a go - either for 0'C (who has done nothing wrong) or Mellor (who i would put on the bench because he can virtually cover any position on the pitch.

I thought we could and should have won by more - but that is a game we would have lost last season, and the season before - so good on them! We seem to be playing better as a team. Dorn and Gayle are excellent. Ellis and Chad good. Great to have Karl back and for a first game he really went forward well. Ambler, Bailey, Burnett (especially) and Nick K all had moments. Next games are hard, but will give us a realsitic view of where we will be at end of season. If we avoid getting slaughtered by Leeds then i will be more than happy.

I think the crowd was 3000 or so - i think we did shoot ourselves in the foot - but keep winning, keep marketing, get a couple of good cup draws and we may be on our way.

Feel more optomistic than at any time for last 12/15months?

Please support Rob Purdham's testimonial season:



This attendance business really took the shine off for me. Driving home I was jubilant; a win against the odds (hanging on to a two point lead for 20 mins!), joint top of the league and a good performance to boot, and moreover a reasonable attendance for a Crusaders fixture! And then when I get home I check the attendance to see 1700!! There was never ever just 1700 in the ground. As others have said 3000 (or near on) still isn't great but we haven't helped ourselves have we.

Regarding the game I really do like the look of Mike Burnett, and I thought Jamie O'C was excellent. He's had stick on here before but I think that now he is looking the part. Plenty of hard work taking the ball in and a fantastic try saving tackle in the first half. At the very least he's not making it easy for Pryce and Calderwood waiting in the "wings".

Likewise, I can't believe the crowd was 1766; this really bugged me last night.

Welcome to The Stoop - The Field of Dreams.......Where Broncos supporters dreams are realised and away supporters dreams are shattered !!!!! 2012 - The Year of The Broncos:



Quote: Billericay Quin "Likewise, I can't believe the crowd was 1766; this really bugged me last night.'"


In light of there being a "new broom" in the house perhaps the question of the difference between "actual" and "official" attendance figures could be raised at the next fan's forum. I think Gus mentioned the resurrection of a fans forum (date tbc) in his statement.

It's bugging me as well !

?!!

Have I missed something? Quality player. Best Crusaders man on the park by a tu'penny bus ride yesterday.

Regarding his second try, although the defence was pretty thin, that penalty should never have been awarded by Child that led to the try. I believe on that occasion it was a blatant interference he adjudged to be a knock-on.
