I'd hope we'd get at least 12k for this fixture.

This opening home game will give some indication of the mood amongst the wider support base, how much of a positive effect the new ownership has engendered across the club, also how much negative effect is still lingering from the disaster that was 2024.

If the attendance is above 12k (hopefully) that will be a definite sign that most have wiped last year from the memory bank. If the night's attendance is below 10k (unlikely given pass sale figure) then we still have some way to go to rectify the horrors of the past twelve months with many waiting to see a clear improvement before returning to the fold.

Hopefully the majority are ready to rally round the flag for another rollercoaster ride on the Fc train

I don't mind the draw, but maybe superleague clubs shouldn't be seeded, that way you still might get super League clubs playing each other early on and champ clubs have a better chance of progressing to the 4th/5th rounds

no room in the sport for common sense or providing simplicity and excitement of a lower club being drawn against a S/L team
Another IMG f--k up

We got 12,600 against Saints for our first home game in 2022 with a similar offer so I'd say that's about right. As if often the case when we draw a bigger crowd we lost by over 30 (Gale got sent off in the sleet)
