League Express gave Sheffield Eagles V Toulouse attendance has 442. Doesn't auger well for the future. Wonder how many were Eagles fans and how many were Trinity fans who hung back.

Toulouse aren't going to bring many, so would say that, that's Eagles fans, as it would be difficult to count up remaining Trin or FC fans that stayed.
For what it's worth, I think 442 is pretty good.
First game, kicking off at 5:30 on a miserable Sunday evening.
Let's not write the venture off too early, give it a decent 3.00pm or 3:30pm kick off later in the season.

I reckon the weather put some off the main match so it's hardly an indication for Sheffield.
Don't know how many they get on a normal day anyway but it will be better when it gets warmer.

I intended staying on to watch Sheffield but I was getting early warning signs of frostbite!

Would have liked to have stayed for the Eagles match on sunday but the cold had set in and my grandson and I were frozen. If the same format applies later on in the season when warmer we will definitely stay and watch.

Depending on timings I might even nip down and watch some of the other games - Fev, KR, the lowly Bradford etc. Some decent games there.

Let's not put sarcasm boot in on Bradford eh. Lord knows we have been lowly enough and might be again soon

It's just nice for that boot to be on the other foot for a change, although I was speaking of their current situation rather than metaphorically.

Heard owt?

Isn't the attendance counted on the turnstiles? I'd hazard a guess the 442 figure would be 442 people coming in after the Wakefield Hull attendance had already been counted?

You would assume so as they would have no way of knowing how many were in before the attendance was announced.

Wasn't the only entrance for the Sheffield game at the side of Cats bar, plus it was £15 for the game, then again, they could have quite easily walked in through the exits at the end of our game. Difficult for the clubs to work out who gets what game receipts.

I can't see 442 coming through the turnstile late on.
There was a bunch in the stand and I guess some in the bars watching but the terrace was completely bare.
