The comment about players not acknowledging support, Ive made
comments myself about that in the past, it was very different on
Saturday, and yep does make a difference when you spend your
hard earned
But as Grimsby has said we are playing some good rugby at the
moment

Let's not get carried away... we played some excellent rugby on
Saturday but that's the exception rather than the rule this
season! I'm praying that it's a corner turned as it was
exhilarating to watch.

Can't remember any away performances like Newcastle last season.
And with Gloucester, that's 2 in half of this season, so
reasonable to think a corner might have been turned.

I'll keep hoping but I've been less than impressed by several
home performances as well this season.

In my case. Live on the South Coast. Work a 60 hour week. Have
other commitments. Make every effort to get to home games but
fridays are a nightmare. Away at Bath, Gloucester, etc, love it,
Newcastle? You work it out. Peoples lives change.

Spot on Cookie, also think the win against Chiefs and the very
close run game against Sarries and the Bonus points shows we are
improving
QuinAlan, yes plenty of people travel a long way, I’m just
asking a question as to why the numbers do appear to be down a
lot more this season

To be fair, SiB, folks have just had Christmas & New Year, and
travelling that distance on the weekend before a lot of folks go
back to work is asking a lot. That's particularly true for those
who aren't based inside the reach of the tube network. For me it
would've meant a likely 2 nights away on top 6 plus hours each
way train. It's just not feasible for a lot of folks & hardly
surprising, tbh.

FF totally get that, was in reference to the season so far as

Sale last season at the same time of year had a good crowd, as
others have said gates also slightly down
