Think this is going to be tougher than the table sugests and Aaron Groom will be as good a player we play this year

Halifax 36-16 Sheffield
Attendance: 2,210

Despite some of the good results Sheffield have achieved this year, they still haven't faced either Barrow or ourselves in the league. Although they faced us in the NRC and went down 50-18 in Sheffield.

Also this sheffield side has twice conceded over 40 points against gateshead and lost. No disrespect to Gateshead who are good going forward, but defensively they are poor. So despite the good result acheived in the cup i believe it won't be as close as people might think.

It just depends what team we put out. I actually think they'd struggle more against the younger faster players such as the bowmans, then the powerful types of Big Frank and Dana.

I'm going with

=blueFax 52-8

Attn 2319

First Try: Shad Royston

Sheffield will be buoyed and we might be missing a few bodies. Question is will we still be hungover from Cas? If not, we'll hand out a tonking.

40-18 Fax (all our points should be drop goals as well!)

52-10 to halifax as above all teams and should get big headed.

calland is going to have as bigger job this week of keeping the players feet on the ground rather than the attack and defence.
the players are going to be supremely confident after a terrific performance against a super league side.

if we can go back to what we were doing before the challenge cup tie then the score will be something like this.

2570 is the highest guess for the crowd!!!! will we ever get 3000 for a league game? cos if we dont sometime soon, Super League just wont happen!!!!!

It's the visiting crowd who will be low, but having said that, 2,100ish home fans isn't nearly enough.

I can see a flat performance from both teams after their efforts last week which would be understandable.

As a Fan for many years i have been asking a few people who i know used to be regulars why they dont come anymore, especially now we have a good team and are watching a great brand of Rugby. The answer that i get mostly is " I have been to the games where its a Tenner but i aint paying £14".
We are trying to entice the old Fans back but remember we lost most of them in 2003ish so to come back now and have to pay £14 each dose seem a lot especially if you come as a couple and its £28 + burger + pint etc?
One idea i had was to set up a direct debit over 12 months for season ticket to spread the cost a little.
(eg . 20 Games at £14 = £280.00 Divided by 12 Months =£23.33 per month or £5.38 per week.
Not sure if its viable but just a thought ?

Not necessarily all our fault though, the traveling contingent is usually pathetic.

Anyway, I didn't put a crowd prediction on my post: 3002

We got over 3000 for the Widnes league game. I agree with what you are saying though, the crowds are increasing though.

Can we put a big advert in the paper saying Town are playing on Sunday and trick the Town fans into coming?

Most probable wouldn't notice until half time.

Woudn't they wonder why all the people were smiling?

Tell them it's an upside-down frown. It'll keep them scratching their heads a bit longer.

Biggest home games to come, i'm sure we'll get a
near to 3000 v Fev and Barrow. If not that would be a traversty!

Dont think we will against Barrow.

They are flying high but by how much will their away support improve?
