Probably around the 1600 to 1700 if we are lucky.

A good crowd indeed as you say, London would have brought even less than Sheffield would
BUT Leythers have been banging on about 5000 plus, perhaps Old Tony is their accountant.

A law should e brought in ALL refs must be Ginger , you know it makes sense.

To be honest Maurice, I don't believe officials are biased, nor do I think they are useless, in the stand at the top of the slope at " Mount Pleasant" where all the fans were, ( no one wanted to stand at the bottom in the open air because it was too sunny and hot )
All Fax fans around claimed every decision against us was rubbish and the few Bulldog supporters claimed the ref was right but wrong when he penalised Batley.
The officials can't win, but without them there is no game.
Respect.

Fair points HJ that's why we are fans of a club, but what I want a ref to do is allow a spectacle for the fans to enjoy - Stokes just created a patchy and slow second half after a pretty enjoyable and pacey first.

If we want to grow crowds we need to make the most of our rules that promote a fast game

I agree with you and the Brad Fittler quote.I get bored with fans constantly bagging the
ref.Occasionally they get things wrong but i was very impressed with the ref at Batley.

Yes he was one of the best refs we have seen in a long time.

Barry, it was a little light hearted comment regarding your poster saying the gate would be 5000 and ONLY 4500 turned up.
Yes you are right, we won't get anywhere near your attendance.
Ok.

Do you think if we tell them just a bit more how fantastic they are and they're the best team the planet has ever seen that they'll eventually fsk off back to their own forum?

We got 5,000 at home to Batley the other year remember

Re: Over 6,000 at Fev : Mon Mar 02, 2015 7:55 pm  

That's "true".

See, anything is possible.
