To be fair Stan it is pretty impressive and you should be proud of it, but made me laugh when you said you didn't want to be like us going on about massive support, all through out the off season and every week There is a game, Rovers social media is talking about crowds etc all the time, I've even seen a few posts from fans claiming they should be back in SL based on you home and away support.

I went to Hudds away last year with some Rovers mate, and they were half the estimated amount that went to Dewsbury today, so are these extra going as it's guaranteed a win?

I think the numbers are based mostly on guaranteed Sunday rugby, it's a positive for home attendances but huge boost for travelling numbers, and that goes for most clubs - see Cas @ Widnes today.

There's a bit of novelty on there as well, 14 years since I last went to Dewsbury.

I'm enjoying away games again for the first time in a few years, Sundays is a massive plus point, allows an earlyish start, stop off somewhere for a bit of shopping and a bite to eat and on to the game, much better than high tailing it down the M62 on a Friday night and getting home at 1 in the morning.

It has the disadvantage of having a complete moron stood behind me who could barely stand and had learned the spoken word from someone with a bad case of Tourettes.

I must admit i am really enjoying the Sunday afternoons. Easy to plan my weekends no changes to take into account. No early morning arriving home after Thursday or Friday matches. The standard of play is a downer though.
