How glad are we all that despite a lowish turn out we didn't have to mingle with the likes of that numpty Dantes Infernal with his self confessed desire not to line the pockets of Mr Salford.

It just enhances the experience.

The west stand had miles more people in it than the hull game, came on the score board at the end 5252. Good attendance tonight considering it was london.

Excellent crowd for you seeing it was London.

With all honesty I can't believe there were over 5k in there last night. I reckon the South Stand (where I stood) was around 80% full which equates to around 1600 IIRC? The west stand was fuller than I thought but maybe around 50-60% full? If that holds 5000 then I'd have thought we were looking at around the 4.5k mark. Even so I was thinking pre match only about 2.5k would turn up!

With a decent performance in France we can hopefully pull in 8k or so against Leeds.

The west stand had about 3500 in it never seen it so packed, south had about 1700+ seats around me which were normally empty we're all taken up, great crowd against the fulham broncquins!

Anyway not wishing to start another argument....

Here we go again folks goading me again. Every reply to my post by you. Is Mr jekyl or Mr hyde. You call me a fraud and a coward look who's the coward now every reply you make to me now i'll return with a big fat laugh.

Just to confirm I HAVE NEVER EVER BEEN BANNED FROM THIS SITE at anytime as mods will confirm. It was stopped due to double posting's, people with more than one alias. Now i wonder who that was Lyrad Red. Ha ha who's the sad one now. You're not from Salford, so go on back to lobby land with Starbug. Stalker



Back on thread great win, was hoping we'd nil London but Adamson's pathetic attempt to down Kafusi made sure that was never going to happen. Really am impressed with the playing, coaching staff. I wish the same could be said from the wats upstairs.

Re: friday : Sat Mar 03, 2012 10:14 am  

Right - to the best of my knowledge, Dantes hasn't been banned in the past. This forum has always taken a very light touch approach compared to other forums who ban all sorts. However, if people keep derailing threads to put across a repetitive point, or keep bickering with each other, that position may be changed in order to try to safeguard decent discussion - the quality of which had picked up this week.

Re: friday : Sat Mar 03, 2012 10:58 am  

Cracking crowd against London. It is great to see Salford on the up and I would love to see a big Salford team getting good crowds. If you can get 5252 against London I think you will be pushing 10,000 against the likes of Wigan and Warrington (providing of course the team keeps playing well). Well done!

Thanks Iain for putting the record straight.

the stadium scoreboard listed 5,252, and the BBC/ and other sites quote 5,250
M.E.N's Journo ( can't bring myself to write his name ..) had it down as 4,162 however he's incapable of writing anything down correctly . also Andy Wilson 'tweated' 4,162 , he must have been cribbing the idiot's notes, Even the Godfather of RL reporting Dave Hadfield , noted " sadly watched by only a meagre crowd at their new stadium."
WTF?



the main west stand was pretty full and that has a capacity of 4,500 , the south terrace holds 2,500 and was nicely packed too ,

The stadium shut the North ( away Terrace ) and the smaller all seated East stand , to lower stewarding requirements ,
The North Stand , is primarily for away support and Wigan Cas & Hull have filled it quite nicely so far . it would great to see all stands open and if Salford continue playing such an expansive brand of rugby I think attendances will continue to escalate .

In the scheme of things a 5,250 attendance isn't alot to shout about , However it's the largest attendance we've had against London in SL .

2011 = 3,065
2010 = 2,672
2009 = 3,679
2007 = 4,067
2006 = 3,295 + 3,046
2005 = 3,315 + 2,683
2004 = 2,529
2002 = 2,211
2001 = 3,967 + 2,618
2000 = 3,071
1999 = 3,052
1998 = 3,681
1997 = 3,997
