I certainly wouldn't make a personal judgement call because everyone's circumstances are different and subject to change BUT here's a thought as a town do you think that we have backed this team enough?

I get that play off games are extra and some might be being 'careful' as they hopefully come thick and fast and in threes, but would have expected another 1,500 on Friday's gate v Saints with a hope that we saw 'Sold Out' at the HJ.

Not having a go at anyone, just wondering if we as a club should be concerned? I think we had better turn outs under Smith, although the stats will probably prove me wrong, (I seem to remember a near sell out v Saints when Carvell went the length of the field), where and why have those fans gone?

Is it the game, cost of living, TV which I think was high ratings considering other viewing or something else?

Can it be fixed as I'm sure that Sam and the staff value the support and whilst the atmosphere couldn't be faulted empty seats isn't a good look.

Some clown made a comment on Warrington Guardian ripping what he calls part time fans I would suggest people shut up unless you know someone’s personal circumstances but hey ho it is the world we live in and unfortunately we have clowns
