Quote Mrs Barista="Mrs Barista"Me too - looked fuller than previous games this season and by a greater margin than announced. Disappointing gate IMO.'"
I questioned the validity of the announced gates on a few occasions last year, as I felt a few games had 'inflated' figures announced. Whether they were just counting season ticket and corporate ticket holders who weren't turning up, or just downright lying I don't know. But I definately think a couple of games last year had <10K in the ground and still 10/11K was announced.
As for last nights crowd I was disapointed. I can understand that some will have been put off by our injury news, and some will be saving for the more attactive games against Rovers, Wigan, Hudds and Leeds to come...but we are playing well, playing a much more exciting brand of rugby, and last nights game was end to end stuff (if a little error prone from both sides at times) and deserved a bigger crowd.
