But Thursday night and with the general malaise in casual support and the sport more broadly I think its not bad going. The atmosphere did seem particularly boisterous and even the North Stand looked ok. Shows that, even on a Thursday, we've got an attractive product for Sky. It's easy to forget that you used to be able to make out the letters in the paddock seats before the 'golden generation' era 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Josef K Posted July 22, 2022 Share Posted July 22, 2022 I don’t know how many was on at FC but i don’t blame them for walking out early. Id imagine it was the same with the Wire fans and the rain we have had over here id be surprised if they got 8,000 tonight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wish we had, haven’t had a drop in the RL hotbed of East Anglia for weeks 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But those i spoke to said “it was still a great night, and made even better with Wire losing”. I’m not one of those whom dislikes clubs or fans. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No roof and a bit exposed. It started to rain. The only complaints from anyone arrived when it stopped about five minutes later. The grass is yellow. Build a man a fire, and he'll be warm for a day.

idrewthehaggis Posted July 23, 2022 Share Posted July 23, 2022 1000 at Cornwall. Tier three and pretty much being hammered most weeks. Come on if here was somewhere that would benefit from some SL and RFL largesse surely it should be here. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would imagine there's quite a few exiles and genuine RL fans around the South West that are just glad to be able to watch live RL. It's not always just about the results. 3 Huddersfield Giants Supporters Association Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It has its issues as any club does that is a long distance from the majority of the other teams , just how they cope with the traveling every other week as part time players Christ knows , Swinton went down on Friday and return this afternoon , ok once or twice a season but hard every other week Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
