Happy, smiley, stasi officers keeping a very beedy eye on those horrible, unwelcome away fans

Pitch looks really good especially after the game against Saints.

A nice little pay day for Saints.

6783.

I guess very few away fans. Also Toulouse being at home means a lot of the diehard treizistes from Aude, Tarn etc. have an alternative. Lot of criticism in France about the decision to play at 8:30 on a Friday night too.

Except for the Wigan end which I'm sure will go. Great news though - shame Saints can't get 20k+ in. 

If they could they’d then get grief on this forum for their ground looking empty when they only have 11k at a game.

Absolutely fantastic work. Well done Salford. However, I am curious as to the Bristol link. Does anybody know more about that?

That also struck me as odd / impressive. How they managed to get all those kids to come up from Bristol on a Friday night.

I found it odd that they had to go all the way to Bristol to find a school interested in attending.

Anyone got the championship attendances from the League Express?

Looks like my usual shop has stopped stocking it so i’ll have to start ordering it direct.

2k is ok for them isn’t it? Especially after their woeful start to the season, and it’s on a par with Halifax Town’s attendances.

Monday night as well, not great for younger kids. 

[Jughead]

Halifax’s average attendance in 2019, the last year without any restrictions/suspensions of season etc, was 1,761. To get a crowd of 2,202 on a Monday night for a televised game is a very good attendance. The same game in 2019 on a Sunday pulled in 2,245.

It's just a general opinion on where Fax used to be , maybe a decade ago , they seemed to be getting better crowds and the place had a different feel to it , again plenty of work went into getting the stand finished and it was hoped that would help them kick on , maybe winning the Championship when promotion wasn't the reward has dented that vibrancy , all IMO 

[bamfordsbeans]

Fax unlike most other clubs when moving grounds in the 90's found crowds at the Shay were well down on Thrum Hall.

Despite finishing 3rd in SL attendances were way short of the late 80's early 90's era.

Financial problems and subsequent relegation meant a different club and the last 20 years has seen them mainly as one of the best part time teams in the Championship with crowds of around 2,000.

Sharing the ground the football team get similar attendances and are punching above their weight against teams with far bigger resources.

Can't see this changing much unless a money man is around the corner.

3G pitches have no place in RL SB.

Monday night was a £10 admission deal, so half the income in real terms and either the crowd was sheeite or Monday nights are not attractive - certainly not for Leigh fans who have now had to travel to Yorkshire 3 times on a Monday night so far, not helping the habit to return after covid and the SL experience

They definitely have a place if we want clubs to be financially sustainable, grow the sport at grassroots and add value to the areas the clubs are based. 

Agreed, clubs need to get as much use out of their facilities as possible. Personally think that sports hubs are the way forward, creating somewhere for the community and having an artificial pitch helps this.

They do if they are put on a car park or training pitch,not in a stadium.

Quite. It's bonkers that people are suggesting we should compromise player welfare and our core product, professional Rugby League, for this.

Stick them on training pitches, not the middle of a pro sports stadium.

Things not going quite so well for the away sales. On sale this morning (what have they been waiting for?) and comments suggest it is hard going.
