after such a huge performance over the weekend do you think the crowd for this weekends game against sheffield will go up by a signifficant amount

2500 is my prediction for crowd against sheffiled.

I hope your right, it's a shame if people just turn out for the big games. Sheffield should hopefully bring more than normal after their performance this weekend too.

The attendance should be up this weekend for a few reasons; 3pm Sunday kick-off (traditional), our performance against Cas, Eagles performance against KR. They will fancy their chances of an upset.

Also, the Fax players should get a special reception as they walk on to the field for sundays game, in recognition of the heroic effort at the Jungle. I remember back in the 80's when we were starting to come good, we won in John Player Trophy, away at Saints (meninga etc) and the next home game was balloons and ticker tape as the players came on to the field.

I'm sure the announcer will have a few complimentary things to say as they run out!!

I didnt mind the din - it was constant, and drowned out the noise of the down-trodden miners.

The chorus of 'You're not digging any more' and 'There's only one Arthur Scargill' had me in stitches! Same again if the singing pit ponies get a bit too loud this weekend
