It wouldn't surprise me if this has the worst viewing figures on Sky for a long time, at least for a game with no other games on at the same time. 

At least someone is going to break their duck. Who it will be is anyone's guess. Salford are disintegrating like a SpaceX rocket, and Huddersfield don't seem to realise that there are two halves in a game of rugby. 5 games against SL opposition and they've managed 1 second half try. Atrocious.

Me too, from the main stand.

I'd definitely watch this if i was a neutral, 2 struggling teams, neither have won, the sort of intriguing game neutrals want surely?

I'm fairly confident, but then i have been for every game so far, even at half time!!!!!!

We've got to score in the 2nd half sometime, let's hope it's tomorrow.

I think I will have  look to see how it pans out. With the Huddersfield's travelling support and Salford supporters dwindling interest, a record SL crowd is likely. The lowest !

Poor attendances matter

[Lucy_1873]

Both teams not in the best of ways - I think Giants to win by 2.

Not that I am one of those obsessives about attendances but this intrigued me so I looked it up, Salford were involved but to be fair it could have been anyone it was on July 2nd 1997 at PSG Paris, 500 was the given figure Salford won 24 -16.

Huddersfield to be winning at half time is probably the only thing for certain, after that it's anybody's guess!

[Chronicler of Chiswick]

Hudd by 10.

[Winston Smith]

Surely we have to win this game. In the first half we should run enough points to hold out in the second half. 
 

HT 6-36

FT 34-36

I can remember seeing the published attendance for that and assuming it was some sort of misprint, which sadly it wasn't.

In it's defence, it was something random like a Wednesday night I seem to recall. Still terrible though.

Well remembered it was a Wednesday.

Dour game, half time teams drawing, Huddersfield will break their not scoring record in second half, with a drop goal in 79 minutes and 59 seconds.

Oh johnny, I would class Darts alongside F1 and Womens Netball as my least go to watchable TV sports.

The two bottom winless clubs in SL competing could turn out to be a cracker, I have always maintained it does not matter what standard Rugby League Football is played at if you have two teams of equal ability it should be very good. I will be tuning in.

Well if it does come to that Trinity, and a last second drop goal is required to separate the two teams on the scoreboard then I doubt it will be anything but dour, it may not be of the highest standard but in that scenario it should be exciting.

This is true. Whether it's State of Origin or the Pennine League Div 4, if it's two even teams it's usually a great game.
