Next up at home...the Filthy French.....let's hope you get 5k+ and 2 points.

Usually 1500-2000 at the Jungle God knows where he thought up that number

Good crowd again, especially with the weather being how it is.

We (wire) will probably bring your biggest away following being the closest club. I was actually slightly disappointed for the attendance today, thought it would be better with the talk.

One more thing, why cant you get deals on the day?? I was queueing and multiple families walked away because they wanted the family ticket but you couldnt get it on the day. Must have been 20 people that walked..if they're there, might as well let them in! Silly really

hahahahaha, I'll look forward to playing a game of, spot the Quins fan at the KC on Friday.

As for Crusaders crowd, very impressive and I hope that after a couple of good wins these will stick around and give you something to build on. You can tell that it was a crowd of newcomers though, very little in the way of chants etc, but if they enjoy it and keep coming back they will build up more of an affinity to the club and will start to generate some good atmosphere.

God you Hull lot(s) are touchy. I wasn't having a pop at your fans, away travel or anything else about the North East for that matter. I was congratulating Crusaders....but everything would seem to have to be about Hull

...if it makes you feel better, using the trip to play London BroncoQuins over the last 10 years as a benchmark you are the 6th best travellers......only just behind 5th placed HKR

agree with the little chants, but with only a few of us up from south wales and being in the mold stand we cant go on fo the full game without some help
