Super League Backchat : Tue Mar 04, 2014 10:12 pm  

Anyone else see this this evening? It was interesting just how different the tone of their analysis was as compared with the trade press on Monday. The quality of the analysis was incredible too, with Stevo reckoning that Bradford will survive because the RFL will need the fixtures to be fulfilled, and Rod Studd demanding that the supporters buy the club. Ho hum.

I thought much of what they said was poop. They did not analyse the whys and wherefores which i find interesting. I would be interested to know home attendances against london of other lower clubs and huddersfields average attendance for last year.

At least they had a passing mention of lack of central funding which is the the thing that has shaffted any chance of us coming sucesfully out of previous administration.

Did they mention the momentum rule or advise us to go for the one pointer?

What as Huddersfield's average last year got to do with it?

Rod Studd really emphasized a few times our crowds are now 5000, which I'm pretty sure they are not on a regular basis,Sunday yes but with no away fans and at the end if a very miserable week.But it certainly sounds better if you want to slag us off

Does anyone take what Rod Studd says seriously though, I think he competes with Stevo to see who talk the most crap.

Of course for some reason everyone is saying our crowd was 5410 or near enough.
Balderdash:

Watch Superleague round up when the cheerleaders were lining up the crowd in the background over the tunnel was showing the terrace as reasonably full! That section I believe to be a limit of 7000, the stand where most of the season ticket holders sit when full is approx 5000.

I would suggest the BBC first figures as quoted is nearer the mark at 8500. I estimated it at around the 7000 mark. so let's all be wrong?

One of them made a very good point: the RFL will not want us to go under, otherwise Huddersfield will have no opponents to play at MW.
