Good, they will need him a much different team when he is not on the field.

[Archie Gordon]

Just seen the teams. Catalans have no Chans tonight; no Chans at all.

Time for a fifth name to win the title? Been waiting long enough. 

c'mon you Dragons!

Even for this forum, these posts are quite something - you've got to hand it to Saints, to have cheated (and cheated to victory is some cases) before a game has kicked off is quite impressive!

That's Saints for you..

Here now I have never seen OT so empty for a SLGF ever very sad.

It’s not a surprise really, with Covid/travel issues and one of the teams from another country.

I would say 35000 tops

It is clearly a far worse crowd than most expected, but it is what it is.

Better than last years crowd.

I expected it to be low, but I don’t think we can take anything out of it really, as I say some people are still wary of attending bog games and weve got a team from another country which means  travel issues because of covid.

But let us never let an opportunity to talk the game down pass by.

[Sports Prophet]

Is there a reduced capacity for the stadium, or is this just a terrible crowd number?

Why isn’t this game sold out?

Aye, we really do just need to focus on the match and get back to 65k to 70 next year.

Anybody thinking this game would sell out is a troll or absolutely clueless. 

Genuinely not a single person thought it would be a sellout.

Why do you think? Its not complicated.

[Death to the Rah Rah's]

We keep using covid as an excuse but it doesn’t seem to have affected attendances at other sports.

There needs to be a clean sweep at the RFL before it’s too late to save what’s left of the game.

The attendance today pretty much confirms why Sky have reduced their investment in the game

Your post makes no sense. 

[Exiled red]

Would've made sense to sell the lower tiers first but hey ho.

 

Let's hope it's a cracker.

Looks like a desperate measure to me, that leg looks heavily strapped.
