Hardly going to be a classic, and I think the fact you have some spine to get you around the pitch. We ended up with PLT in his 4th game I think for us yesterday playing at 6 & 9 at certain points, certainly interesting. Should be able to get a decent pack out hopefully so our game plan should be based around that

Strangely at the Wigan game yesterday it was 2 reserve teams near enough and in a weird way it was quite enjoyable, no pressure watching the young lads surrounded by seasoned pros come out their shell a little bit and probably try things they usually wouldn’t, not sure if the pressure cooker of a derby will allow it though.

I think you will just have too much intelligence on the pitch with Connor, gale, smith and will control the game similar to the Toulouse game and put a few points on. Either way it doesn’t really matter and could be the least relevant derby to be played since our return to SL

Wonder what the crowd will be?

If Parcell is fit and Litten gets his ban reduced I'll make Rovers favourites. Otherwise 50/50.

Probably the lowest in the SL era.

Less than 15k. What's your guess?

disappointed

I see we are contesting the 2nd game of Fash's ban.

Well we've just been dealt a massive blow against Rovers as Korbin Sims has been banned so think that's a huge plus for them

It won't effect you then

In a maybe weird way, i'm almost glad that ticket sales so far have been pretty poor. Feel like the club has been guilty of relying on the blind faith from loyal supporters in terms of turning out for games like this. A poor gate will definitely open the clubs eyes that these mediocre seasons just wont cut it for some people anymore. Id guess around 15-16k as the attendance but I honestly wouldn't be surprised if it ended up being less.

Tend to agree and think the only saving grace for the possibility of a half decent crowd is the fact its the last game of the season, had it been a couple of games before the end then I think it would have likelihood would have been a poorer attendance.

In all honesty the way both teams have just fizzled out of the season I'd surprised if the gate is anymore than 10-11K and wouldn't be the least bit surprised if it is some way south of that mark.

i agree Chris 10/11 thousand but the gate will be shown by the club at around 14000
Another pay day for the club gone

Surprised Longstaff didn't cop a ban for a 'late hit' in the 1st half, think it was him anyway. Not complaining though!
