Quote: Marcus's Bicycle "I was surprised at the attendance as looking from the East stand the West and the South stands seemed pretty full.
They've announced attendances of 10k plus in previous seasons which looked far more empty than last night. As you say though we should be looking at 11k minimum.'"
The West stand is fuller than ever due to the family zone and unreserved sections, but there were a lot of gaps in the East (which is now smaller due to the away section) and I dont think the South Reserved section is working that well as we now have big gaos behind the posts.
I too was a bit disapointed with the crowd, first non-tv game of the year and i thought we'd get over 11k.
Then again whenever the club has had got a big crowd in (warrington end of last year, Catalan the other week) we have flopped, its hard to retain new fans if they have been underwhelmed previously.
