how did we get more people playing Salford than the mighty and oh so scary Brigantes did against the champions? There must be some mistake?

Waki were playing us that's prob y but what a fantastic crowd for saints as Salford don't take a huge amount of fans with them it's true wat they say build a new stadium and they will come, was very impressed with the look of the stadium, however I'm not impressed that we play u this week though saints were awesome once they got into top gear.

Why was it being claimed it was a sell out virtually then for many days? did that put off the 17,000 that had been well predicted and claimed in the media?

Not debating that it is not a good attendance for Salford, but I think the publicity stunts of how big and how great need to stop now!

Correct,
Who would have thought that Saints couldn't sell out their opening game at their new stadium or sell out their final game at their old stadium?

all those people interested such a little sport that gets a bbc slot on local TV at 11.35pm on a Monday night whilst Ski Sunday is prime time.

I wonder how many TV licence payers were at any of the ski-ing events covered in yesterdays show?
