| Great win, thought Fax would be too strong for us but we’re playing very well of late.
Second half against Sheffield seems to have been the turning point in our season

| Keep this up and we could catch Sheffield and Newcastle. Apart from Leigh our next few games are winnable

| Looked good in attack, sound defensively and I thought Halifax didn't handle the warm conditions well. Could still do with a better kicking game. I guess a win v Workington will keep us safe. Only my third game of the season and my second win.

| Lovell and Bienek did well and I thought Rob Oakley did well. He's from where I was born in rural north Essex so especially pleased for him

| We were in Hythe Kent for a wedding yesterday and the traffic in the area is a joke, so we decided to not to even try to get to PL for the match.
I have to say I was delighted with the result and the way things are going. Onwards and upwards.

| Oustanding performance from the team. Today I felt that we got 'our London' back.
Good, noisy support and great to see many old faces out of hibernation. At this rate we may even get Buck to make an appearance! Seriously, it was almost like the clock had been turned back. Long may it contiinue!

| Delighted with that result.....a real upset and it shows that other than Leigh and Fev, the division is one where anyone can have their day.......we were close at widnes and at York.
I see cornwall just passed 10,000 fans for their first 9 home games......I wonder if we have had that many at our 9? I see wiki reports nicely rounded 750 & 850 at the 2 games at Ebbsfleet, and 940 for the Thunder game in May but nothing for games 4 & 5 (Bradford/dewsbury) at the lane. Based on the 7 attendances we do have reported, we are averaging 1,173, but those missing 2 were both badly attended (according to reports on here and the other sites), so it's fair to assume that they were both sub 1k......so we are nearer an average figure similar to our last full championship season of about 950, but with the added bonus of forking out extra rents.....still no statement from Loubser or Hughes on the success of this move. Surely with us now effectively 7 points ahead of Dewsbury with 7 to play, it's time for some announcements on 2023....coach, venue(s) players etc....

For what it’s worth my take is we feel back to the attendance levels we were at for those few games in 2020. That seemed a realistic aim and an OK start on the back of pretty minimal effort and a losing side. I always thought the 5k figure was eye wash. (Of course the mind boggling expense of running multiple grounds rents negates much of the positives). The question is will we push on. I think we’ve learnt a tiny bit about match day experience from the start of the season but not much. Look how we have come on with our social media comms generally since season began (it was rubbish frankly) and then think about how much the match day experience has improved. Our match day experience remains poor - plonk fans in a big old barn, mostly closed and let them get on with it. Its an area they need to focus on if they want to grow. And then there is their marketing. How will they sell next year to newbies? How will they sell it to ST holders who have been served up dross for the first half of the season, then put to the additional expense (in some/ many cases) of travelling to Kent all the while seeing discount after discount to nonST. Then there is player recruitment and retention- we made a poor stab at that for the 2022 season we can’t do the same for 2023. We know we’ll be in Championship so we should be busy, busy. It goes without saying I don’t expect to hear what they are up to but I do expect them to be up to something.

Don't know who this Eccles is but he's certainly no fruit cake!

| After such a dismal start to the season its refreshing to see the brand of rugby that will have supporters returning for more. The team have responded and the gloom has lifted. ALL of the players look to be improving week on week but Macani and Siti and Albert have really upped their game under Eccles.

We have shed fans.....as many as 1,500 or 70% from that opening game......but they won't declare the dewsbury gate (nor Bradford for that matter) so 60% at least.
It remains to be seen if these fans come back for games this year given there's little left to play for.
Will be interesting to see of the 6 for £30 offer worked.
