Hmm would not surprise me if we see sub 1k this year for a home game. A lot of wire fans at the game today.

62%. To date, that's how many fans Gus has trimmed from our 2010 average.

At AK's 20 quid a pop and based on 2010 attendances.....23k in lost ticketing revenue v Salford and 37,500 in lost ticketing revenue from Wire.15% of the 2014 home season gone and he's over 60k in a hole..........good job he's removed any semblance of responsibility from his Job description.

1,136 v Catalans last year is in real danger of being halved ....Thursday April 17th.....sub 1,000.

Cue more "but it's a tidy ground and if AK invests" type posts

Maybe Gus should have looked for an even smaller ground.

I don't understand why we didn't put more high kicks to their blonde winger, he had one and dropped it then had nothing to do all game other than score three walk in

I met up with a group of Wire fans I've been friendly with since Carcassonne in 2002 post match. They felt London called it right in targeting Ormsby over Riley which surprised me but these guys watch the juniors etc at Wire and know their young lads games well.

2,583.....I remember the days when fans on here and at the club on match day would be ashamed of that number for a SL home game, but it seems it is now an acceptable number for TWO GAMES

Lose to Wakey next week and I suspect we will see more than just the Catalans game at sub 1k....AK will not invest a bean and regardless of what people say, it is 100% down to Gus and Hughes that this club will implode in the off season post relegation.

cue applause for the effort today (even though it was for 30 minutes)...

Well, I thought we played well for a period, in fact the best this season AND in the 2nd half,

WIRE couldn't even manage a try every 5 minutes!!!!!!!!

As to being ashamed of the attendance??????? Actually theres sod-all I can do about that really, so no I'm not. Lmfao!

Positives from the game!
bishay! Looks good, new fella soloman looks pretty handy.
enthusiasm in first half good but experience is lacking.
bad things, crowd obviously
slow ptb resulted in very littke ground being made.
2 worst bits was 1 lack of effort to chase ball and make tackle after a charge down.
Getting caught on 6th tackle on our own 20
pretty low penalty count though
Oh yeah gutters coffee was good

Bishay had a good game right. Got voted MOTM by the fans there as well. Solomona looks like he has WHEELS and a good step on him. Can't believe we have someone who was lined up as a replacement for Billy Slater when he retires. Can't wait to see more of Solomona.

Every week am impressed by Cunningham. Hull KR have got a diamond player. So energetic and nimble. Will be an International no doubt when he bulks up.

Really promising game with the first half which we can build on with Vea and more signings to come. Things looking much brighter, figuratively and literally

Somebody needs to speak to the ticketing staff. Apparently a pass from the RFL for match day admission is not recognised. Was refused admission on it and told to pay. Not the only person who had a pass from RFL who was refused admisssion. Doubt the other pass holder I saw treated similarly will be letting the matter rest either. Not the money but a matter of principle.

My deal for videoing Under 19s (and plenty of other age groups previously) was I don't charge club but get free access to 1st team games. That's now changed and will be invoicing for each game. No more freebie copies for players/parents/speccies unless Broncos pay. Well done, another expense to add to the budget.
