Agree, it was never going to happen against Salford.

7,000 was my benchmark for success today, I never thought for one minute we would get more than 8,500 even on a sunny day which today definitely was not.



The despondent air still lingers around the City to a certain extent and while there have been many positives over the last two weeks people will take more than a few days to subscribe to being a fully fledged fan.



IMO the next thing that needs to happen is a couple of really good head turning signings. I know we are hamstrung for a few weeks in terms of overseas but IF we now able to spend up to the cap limit then we ought to be able to crowbar someone away from another club.



I'm all for giving the lads who are here a go but many of them are young kids who will suffer physically the longer the season wears on and playing them week in week out won't do their long term future any good.



We need some size, experience, maturity and class importing and the sooner the better.

images of a miss-spent youth Richard???

Yes, I think Glover has enough about him, to realise that it's going to take something like a couple of exciting signings, to get some of the stay aways to return. It is going to be a gradual thing, but if enough effort and the right signs are shown by the club, it will get the trust of people again.

It was men against boys today - one thing Wakey didn't lack (apart from the first 10 mins!) was effort. Wakey played as if they'd had no pre-season, which I suppose they hadn't really.

Spot on.

our fans got behind the team well.... the pitch was terrible..... was hoping for a better atmosphere but just seems your fans see it as a day on the beer instead of supporting your team even at 0-0 you lot could have sung for the 47 second you were in the game

On the basis that the 200 or so you brought sang a bit, you've surmised that the 6000 of us who turned out just saw it as a day on the beer?



Wazzock.

Nothing compared to the silence of 12 months ago when we had the game won in 20 mins and Salford fans were heading for the exits well before half time.

2010 v Salford at home, 6th in the league, play-off season before, Brough & Tronc still on the books, dry day. Won 36-6. Attendance 4883.



2011 V Salford at home, bottom of league, off-season of utter turmoil, team of no-names, cold & Wet. Lost 32-6. Attendance 6823.



Don't reckon the attendance was bad considering.

I think there were more Salford fans than you lot are giving credit for. There were quite a few behind the sticks with us!

Bearing in mind the shocking weather I thought the gate was very positive today. I just wonder if all the newbies will return...

Well at least you can't put it down to supping ale at £3.20 a pot
