No, but lack of crowds normally equals no success. Unless you have a multi-millionaire willing to pump unlimited amounts of cash in for an indefinite period of time, that is.

AP has already indicated that we need bigger crowds to ensure that we can begin to compete and hopefully win stuff. I choose not to disbelieve him.

We certainly will. Plus a good following of away fans who create an atmosphere. With approx 300 Salford fans at the Pharm yesterday it was pants. Both Hull clubs always bring a large following, ala Leeds and Wire. Other big clubs, Saints, Wigan, Bradford etc don't bother coming now that they don't pick up the 2 easy points that was a foregone conclusion in years gone by.

Looking forward to this one. And the game the week after but we won't be able to match your travelling support, unfortunately.
