There was loads more there today than the Sheffield game. How stupid do they think fans are? There's only one foot they're shooting by doing that. The RFL aren't going to give a franchise to a club who can't produce crowd figures above 2,186 for a cup QF.

well we were the only ones to reach that figure, so should be one horse race.

Just realised that there was only 1650 at Widnes yesterday! That's a terrible turnout considering the amount they started the season with!

Don't tell Andreas Bauer that, he thinks Barrow are the best!

Barrow are good, but not as good as 'fax - who have been building up to this, the past couple of seasons.

Or even a "country mile"?

'Country miles' seem to vary in length. (e.g. "the nearest pub is about half a mile away." Two hours later, and dying of thirst, you still haven't reached it!)

That's why I wrote 'a huge distance' - it seemed even longer than a country mile!!

Looking forward to seeing you guys at LSV. ('sometime in August' is what Leigh are telling me!)

"Fax is on fire" was very loud as I passed the dressing rooms this week, think the boys were happy with that performance

i'm looking forward to our visit to lsv. Looks a well tidy stadium having seen it up close from the outside.

Apart from the cas game and second half v batley, today was our best performance.

Very enjoyable

Er top crowd in the QFs by quite a few, you seen the other gates at Barrow, Oldaham (LSV) and Widnes??
Come on its all pay and when this happens you get the TRUE crowd figures in RL, no freebies and give aways like in the league.
NRC rarely gets big crowds, I thought we may have got 2300/2400 today but Leigh only brought around 200/250, not criticising they have a very average team.
Nearly 2200 is not bad come on.

Great performance from you guys today - you really do play some top stuff. We were outclassed all over the park and after we missed our chances early on it was always going to go way.

Ben Black was head and shoulders above the rest today (only because Joey wasn't here ) and he fully deserved MOM.

Well done and good luck in the next round, you play great rugby and deserve to be where you are.

Very sporting mate, cheers.
Thing is we still made too many errors today and the Ref was certainly no homer was he???
Not being cocky but we had more in the tank today and must improve for next week
I am sure we will.

You miss my point. I just don't believe the figure they announced. I have eyes, a brain and a memory. Using my not so special skills i put the three together for the Sheffield game and the Leigh game today and i just don't see how there were more at the Sheffield game.
