last years first home game was bradford 9851, the year before that was saints 7385, salford might not be the best supported club, but its no reason to drop down to 6k mark

Without trying to be detrimental to Salford, Bradford's a local derby and they had just signed 2 players from us, they also have more household names in their side and as such are a bigger draw. Although Saints don't travel in massive numbers they generally bring more than Salford and again Wakey V Saints is a far more attractive game than Wakey V Salford for a neuteral observer.

Even though Salford wont be bringing many travelling fans the first game of the season generally brings in a few extra fans. Despite having to travel over from Ireland I always want to be at the first home match of the season - no matter who we are playing. Hopefully, there are a few more like me, so I would guess 7,200.

What, you mean slightly derranged I set from home on monday lunch (your time) and I'm getting on another plane in about 7 hours to arrive in Manchester on Thursday lunchtime so I hope to be there unless the parking's bad around Belle Vue.

so 6436 ... sorry Snat ...

I’m feeling optimistic.

• First home game of season
• Two encouraging away performances
• Leeds Utd and Barnsley not playing
• Salford fans in buoyant mood after their opening victory
