Top of the table clash, fans not hindered attending an 18000 capacity silly named stadium & they only attracted 7758 it seems. Thought they should do a lot better than that. Has everyone up there got covid jaybs?

Not many away fans helping with that number though

May be so but still a shockingly low crowd when post covid people are clamouring to get into stadiums up & down the country.

The TOTALLY WICKED STADIUM! never completed! there is little interest in the town, schools RL & amateur youth Club L at an all time low (unlike NZ) lol

I wouldn't say folk here are clamouring. I know people that are actively avoiding packed stadium events because of covid fears

People have got out of the routine, more people turned to Sky, and Our League, last week RFL showing our game for FREE was not helpful.

Yes J I’m unclear why we showed the game for free when attendances down 50+%.
I assume to showcase our team. That, on reflection, didn’t work out too well. Sigh.

I took it to be nothing but showcasing Tolouse, as a SuperLeague side, the best candidate for promotion! yes many of us dreamt of a win, but truthfully their full side was in another league!

Sky are not a channl to push viewing figures, BARB are the body that publish TV viewing figures, but the last I saw was the opening weekend in March, when Catalan played Hull KR, and won with a golden point drop goal, and then all BARB issued was that it was the highest Super League viewing figures for 15 years.
