Initially I thought the gate was disappointing but over out 4 games at the racecourse we have had a stedy 1000 which isnt bad for Championship 1. One Rochdale supporter said if they had that many they hold a party!

Exciting game yeaterday and very pleased with our first win. Lets hope we can build on this but we have two tough games coming up - first Wigan away in the Challenge Cup and then Workington away. Need yesterdays second half performance from now onwards.

As far as the gate's concerned, I suspect the combination of the weather and the ko time affected it.

Would not argue with that and it felt like a bigger crowd with everyone being in the same area and the noise they were making......even better Premier Sports viewers were told it was 2,000 whatever by Brian Noble so perhaps it will not be viewed as disapointing to the wider public.

Whilst I did like having a video ref there, without a big screen to see the decision making on, it killed the atmosphere during some of those waits!. Even the players started to get bored!

Very true though the first Cru try I do not think any of the players actually believed it had been scored as they lined up as though he was held up over the line (and even watching it later on TV it looked that way). It's a good tool but do not feel it was well excecuted on Monday and slightly off tangent indeed in today's Aussie game the play was replayed to the touchdown on the big screen even though the try disallowed for a push which I think is preferable to the UK method of not showing the grounding if there is an offence previously so everyone knows the decision before it is flashed up.
