I agree ... nice to see the Skircoat filling up and added to a great atmos. 2,800 sounded like 5,000 IMHO with that extra buzz. It does make me wonder where the East Stand will draw its numbers from ... suppose the obvious answer will be the Skircoat end. The South Stand is getting gradually more chokka and noiser by the week ... my usual standing spot you could swing an extremely large cat 3 or 4 years ago. I'm now surrounded by a few new faces.

Could hardly move up at the back where we allways stand. Lets hope the South stand and skircoat can be just as full on sunday with the Widnes fans in the North stand.

If the East stand, with its unrestricted view, is a non-smoking stand then I am definitely going in there. South stand is unbearable sometimes.

I guess the plan would be to have enough fans to fill all stands

Sounds a big ask but our opening game against the Beagles last season drew 1500 compared to 2900 on sunday. Appreciate the two games are not totally like for like but its still double (almost!)

We got nowhere near 3000 last season but have had it twice already plus Barrow plus another 3000 (4000?) plus this week.

To quote the thread - we are getting there!
