I expected the crowd to be low (bad kick off time, no away fans, London haven't even made the playoffs for years, cold weather...) but 10,096 was lower than I predicted.

Lowest crowd since 2006 I think, it seems it is going to take time (and good home performances) to repair the damage left by Agar's 4 years.

Looked more like about 8000 to me

Against Warrington we looked like a 6-8 placed team. Today we looked like a bottom four placed team. That is not gonna get the fans back quickly. Much improved performance next week needed imo.

Yup, lowest since Warrington in 2006, although it didn't look much different to some crowds last season.

Pretty sure they will be much higher before long, though.

Will be interesting to see if the return to Sundays does bring the crowds back. I personally think not although I accept other factors may play a part.

I think its hard to tell how good the team is as the weather has been freezing for both fixtures, conditions which rarely leads to exciting expansive rugby.

We were also cruising to a decent win in today's game until Moa's sending off (followed by more ridiculous decisions by the officials) leveled the game.

Cold weather, being on TV, the opposition in question, and a complete lack of away fans don't help. Hopefully gates should improve.

Did they stamp many books at "The Library" today. That's the worst atmosphere I've ever heard at a superleague game.

Maybe we should borrow your band?

see the normal doom and gloom merchants havnt took long to surface

no we didn't. london are a better side that salford, widnes, wakey and bradford and we were well on top before the sending off - in fact we looked like running in a few more tries. once down to 12 we struggled not only because of the numbers but also we were a sub down (westerman) and for the last 10 mins yeaman wasnt right either. add in the fact that we have only played 2 games to every others 3, and silverwood's hopeless interpretation of the ruck area slowing the game down to a crawl, then i dont think there's too much to worry about at this stage

Think you would be better placed going to Wakey to slag Agar off. Plenty of positives from the game, in the first 10 minutes we split full back and winger with kicks more times than we did the whole of last season. We held firm with 12 men and a ref hell bent on given everything to London at one stage.

Seemed to tweak his back in a tackle, I thought.

I think it's being overlooked that we were 18 points in front with 20 minutes left and then the momentum was given a major whack to swing against us.

We were cruising and well on top till the Moa incident, but credit to the lads for sticking with it and getting the vital 2 points. An ugly win in the end but come the end of the season it is 2 points regardless of how they are won.

Disagree, London will cause a few upsets this season and have been something of a bogey side for us. I thought it was a good strong performance for 60 minutes, yes still a few errors to cut out but until the Moa incident I think we were in for a 20+ point win. Then unfortunately backs to the wall to see out the game and 2 points in the bag, so no complaints here...not regarding the team anyway...

I'd have expected us to have posted another two or three tries in the last twenty minutes had Moa not been sent off. After a scratchy first twenty minutes I thought we looked very comfortable to say it was only our second competitive game. Certainly not bottom 4 material, that's just daft.

We were well in control when Moa saw red. I think we would have posted close to 40 points. A work in progress so lots of improvement.

If Rovers did ever move to the KC, it's games like that that I wish they'd make double headers just to get a bit of atmosphere!

To be honest if I wasnt a season ticket holder or able to do a ticket swap then I would never consider to going to see the london/quins whatever they are this season side. History has shown that they come here to slow down and spoil the game and tonight was no exeception. What it was like on sky I dont know because I havent watched it yet (apart from the appalling Moa decision). I can imagine it made poor viewing and even if it wasnt on sky we would have struggled to get above 11000 in my opinion (oh and the taxi that brought the london supporters).

Rovers only getting 7,600 inc away support !
They will never average 10,000 and won't get a North/South or ANY hand Stand !

Times are hard - end of story

Are you working on your next excuse not to go to games?

Giver over!

We played well against Wire and [unever gave up[/u to get the draw (some-thing I have failed to see for several years!!)

Yesterday we were in control upto the Moa incident, the game was a bit boring due to imo the ref, who stopped the flow of the game and was basically pants..

Overall I am happy with what I am seeing, you play what is in front of you and that is what we have done to date. Gentle promised that we will improve week in week out and that will do for me, it we keep up his ethics we will not be too far off

I think there are plenty of positive signs. We look far more organised than we have since 2007. We have dummy runners and the half backs are finding room and taking the line on. Main issue at the minute is that we're just not quite clicking but this will come with the players working together more. Don't think we have the quality of players to really challenge this season but I do think we will comfortably be in the 8.

We're a work in progress but the signs are positive for me.

Disappointing crowd today,as usual london brought 1 supporter who was highlighted on tv,but iam sure that the crowds will improve when the weather improves.As shaun mcrae says fans will be flocking back to see this attacking brand of rugby.!

I'd like to think we could be at least pushing towards top 4, even if we fall short. Of course, that's going to rely on us keeping key players fit for most of the season. Which is already looking a bit shaky.
