Saints could be heard well enough on the Sky commentary.

However the turnout was far lower than normal. In the past Saints have taken 1500 to 2000 to Hull on a bank holiday. This year is looked more like 200.

Its something that is happening across the league though, because the away support at Widnes has been far less than what you would normally expect to have seen.

The countries economic woes are having a big impact on peoples spending habits.
People are voting with their feet and cutting back on unnecessary car travel, such is the cost of petrol.

It's easy to get that impression when you are sat amongst your own fans. On the TV and Radio however it was more balanced, Saints fans could be heard but the home fans were far from silent especially in the first half.
