Get the Quo to the ground

Although we didn't make tons of noise today we were not the quietest set of fans in Belle Vue yesterday.

I thought that your boys only opened their mouths once when you scored your first try and apart from that never heard a peep.

PS - you obviously haven't played Wigan at the JJB yet, they made even less noise than you did yesterday, despite proudly declaring their supporters as their number 18 in the squad list.

Why was George Sampson there

hes rediculous lol

Dus my head in he ws born in birchwood, warrington but now he says he is from Manchester

and he is trying to get with Lauren from eastenders

Would you want to admit to coming from the same place as Kerry "Im not stoned im on medication" Katona?

Good first half performance. controlled the ball well, made good yards and tackled superbly.
2nd half looked like we went to sleep thinking the job was done.
Salford couldn't have continued to play as badly so got back into the game slightly.
seemed to try to push things to much in the 2nd half but i always felt we were in control.
2 out of of 3 is a great start with the injuries we have and i for one am a happy trin fan this morning

There'd be no point in that though - young up-and-coming bands wouldn't add floating support onto the gate. People like to see those they've seen on the telly, not some no-marks, however talented they are.

When we got acts the level you'd see in 'Clubland' they added nothing for anyone, at least George Sampson, Journey South and however else we've had do add a little something to proceedings - not for everyone of course, but certainly those who see the posters and become curious...

one of the big plus points for me so far this season,

a bit OTT, i felt sorry for the lad, he's only a kid and was getting loads of abuse from some young lads stood behind me, at least George Sampson is making something of himself which is more than what some of those idiots who were bagging him will ever do

who's your new avatar

Yeah harsh that he is only 14/15? Most of them will end up on dole no doubt.

Snowmeister I still have memories of a bloody good set up that day,we should learn from Barrow and get a resident band in

theres plenty of local bands about and some watch trin was with one of them yesterday

But if they don't add any numbers on the gate, what's the point?

Creating an atmosphere before kick off at a guess

For whatever reason, i've always thought, Friday night games tend to have much more of an atmosphere than Sunday afternoon.

I'm sure everyone will be much more pumped up on Friday and there'll be plenty more noise!

Unfortunately due to being double booked i'll be in 'the box' in headingley cheering the mighty wildcats on!

From a crappy covers band? Might as well just update the CD collection!

Like them or not, the pre-match stuff we've had from people who are vaguely 'famous' at least attracts some outside interest to the games. It serves a purpose from that respect.

really enjoyed the game i came all the way from middlesbrough and was well worth the trip. i took my 5 year old cousin today it was his first game. thought the lads showed great spirit when times got a bit tough in the second half and rallied together for a great defensive effort. saw sideshow in the crowd yesterday as well he was looking good think he will be a good signing for us in my opinion hasnt had a real enough chance to prove himself yet.

Dont get me wrong i like george sampson but knowing him before he was famous and now he has definatly got very cocky and has needs to never forget where hes come from

Like it or not the lads at Barrow did a sterling job in entertaining the crowd covers included. (probably a fraction of the cost)

Wigan had a band on the other week: what's the point really of it. As for Sampson, personally thought it was a little flat, but its not for the likes of me and really iof the club pays him X amount and Y amount of kids come and it pays for itself then why not. CLub has done this three years in a row so much see some benefit, maybe in the family atmosphere long term.

6500 is ok really, but its dissapointing that our first home game is three weeks into the season and against Salford who's support is minimal. If you play Cas opening Sunday on a decent Sunday you would get 8500. Would expect more on Friday.

As for the game thought it was testament to Kear's skills, well coached, played to our posiitves (ie Brad Drew'd passing game, first try was an excellent weighted flat pass) and worked really hard, usual suspects busting a gut Wilkes, Stosic, JD, Snitch (Henderson although most are critical carts some ball up). Thought Gleeson was excellent defensively on Talau (his try was a matter of exhgaustion on Gleeson's part)Blanch and Halley looked dangerous. Atkins pushed a couple of passes which was encouraging (although I expect of it as a wannabee international to show something running at Littler).

Salford very poor first half (bordering on inept) and sorted themselves out sencond half (although we had the game won by then). Looked better for having Paul on the field and Myler looks a good runner, Leulai looked a quality prop. For me we were simply tired playing out of the position, you have guys out there who are playing an awful long time out of position and looked tired (very much like last year really) and Grix was obviously a big loss; Drew at one point was just ambling about in back field (as a 33 year old who wasn't subbed i dont blame him) Really pleased as it was a good proffessional effort to seal the win, but Salford at home if you want to make the 6 has to be a gimme and in fact a better team could have hit them for forty in that first half.

Will the same level beat Warrington next week, perhaps not, I think we are ill suited against a team that is going to come hard through the middle ;but with a little more quality than Salford and the injuries are really going to tell, a five day turnaround isn't ideal. Need Scully back and Sam, and if we play to our positives again can see us pulling off another shock. Big couple of weeks for us, Warrington and Cats at home are the type of games that uf you win you mnake the plays offs, if you lose you finish 10/11th think it will be that tight this year.

You'l probably find he was born in warrington and lives in birchwood, no hospital in birchwood

I supose it proved our support is improving even if it's not a massive increase but any increase is better than nothing.

A few seasons back you would have been lucky to get 4500 there.

and it did that day just lack of numbers, if we had lost that day would you of looked back still said that they put a good day, I could

Thought we did a good job in the first half and pretty much finished the game off. Then second half in true Trinity style tried to make it as tense and uncomfortable as possible. In the end a very solid and important win despite having a few out.

As to the pre match entertainment each to their own but even if you like that type of thing don't think the middle of a rugby pitch on a barely raised platform surrounded by kids is the best vantage point for such entertainment. However if brings folk through the turnstyles then fair enough.

all for motley crue at half time tho! Girls Girls Girls!!!
maybe we could borrow wigans cheerleaders?
smear posts with grease,
might boost gate by a few hundred!

and week after get noddy vs bob the builder russian roulette, one for the kiddies!
