1. Crowd
6578 was not expecting that much, don't know if boy Sampson attracted anymore, difficult to tell how many Salford brought seemed quite a few behind the sticks as i walked round. On the other hand the size of our city we should be attracting more punters through the turnstiles especially with the start to the season we have had.Maybe its the cost to get in ?

2. Boy Sampson

Personally thought it was a complete waste of time and money spent on him, apart from all the kids round him could not see how it was of any benefit to anyone else in the ground. I had to ask my niece where he was, she pointed someone out in a green hooded top. This could have been anyone and there were kids at school with a bit of lino who were just as good.

3. Match

First half thought we controlled it without getting out of second gear. Second half thought we were very poor and their halfbacks ran the show. Very poor options on fourth and fifth tackle with forwards thinking they were playmakers.Certainly have to step up a few gears if we want to beat Warrington

The critic inside me aside with the players we have available before and then during the match it is a fantastic result and a brilliant start to the season.

Agreed. Good post!

I was expecting a few more people to turn up today but at £18 it's not cheap. Sampson was waste of money I thoguht but no doubt the younger ones enjoyed it and it is important to keep them happy but at the end of the day I go for rugby and atmosphere

1..rubbish
2..got some kids in who were brought by their parents, 5 whinos i know of..salford how many ?? celtic will probably bring more.
3..dominated first half, grix injured and 19-0 up in the second and in control..why risk anything second half?? job done for me.

Well if young sampson was a waste of time it would be interesting to see when was the last time we had a crowd of 6500 against salford. As for the second half of the game i dont know if you noticed but we did'nt a half back on the field.

You're in for a huge disappointment sweetheart!

re Sampson... I did not know who he was, did not watch hin etc as was busy with the Adam Watene stall... BUT when I arrived inside the ground at 2 there must have been 1000 folk queing up to get his autograph and if they all enjoyed the game and come back next week then its all worthwhile.

Exactly sue hope the chuckle brothers are reading this

I know some of kids got turned away because he was only signing autographs for 30mins.

But question is, would all them have been at the game if he was not there?

WOW! you an expert on dance as well , multi talented is what you are

save the money, get some random teenage scrote to wire his nutsack up to a truck battery, and you have an instant break dancer at a very reduced rate

No Barry thats the point he was there

Another negative Wakey Fan

its just not the place to have a dancer at rugby match, I still think back to the barrow game where they had a live band playing

Snowie how much does a live band cost and who would listen everyone as different tastes in music today we put on a teen idol and it fetched in hundreds if kids its not my cup of tea but we made money.

Agree but most of the young people who really wanted to meet him was on the field at the time, i think the club are really working hard at attracting new fans to stadium and with the team playing well this will hopefully feed back to the thousands of dorment fans that refuse to purchase a ticket but quick to criticise the club

You want to go to Glastonbury pal

He gets mobbed we have to guarantee is safety and security.

there's some talented young and up and coming bands out there, I'm not asking for a well known band just one that can play in the corner, you have a choice you can listen or move to the other side of the ground,
george did nowt for me and my lad wasn't interested too, we had a good view of the field behind the sticks but was blocked by the watching dancers on the field, saw a few legs up in the air

great for the young ones not knocking that but for the time he was here I would of preferred a singing band, just my preference if that's ok

then surly this has to be done every home game, as a one off doesn't turn them into a fan over night, they do try hard and will do with the young kids games before the match

Great first half performance, Salford didn't know which way to turn. Second definitely slower, but the defence were efficient. Nice work lads, now lets make Wire suffer this Friday!!

1st half I was very impressed. 2nd we were saving our selves for friday so im not 2 worried. Grix injury a huge worry that is the worsed thing about today. Attendence was fine Salford never bring many. Atmosphere not great we need to make more noise friday thats for sure. I heard the 'blanch will tear you apart again' chant that allways makes me laugh! Thought Luelui for them had a great game we could do with another prop like him, we claped him off when he ran next to us he was very chuffed bet he would love to play for us

. All in all I am happy. Bring on the team with no heart come on Wire !!

Deary me, I hope you're not budgeting for that!





Apart from that laughable comment I thought that the OP summed the game up nicely.
