I'd have said 800

200?? Seriously ?
If so that means there were more at Stags v Skolars today!

Re: v Catalans : Fri Apr 18, 2014 7:59 pm  

There was 150-200 in the East stand and 400-500 in the west. At least 600 but no more than 800 imo.

Really enjoyed the game. For the first hour Broncos appeared to make life hard for themselves by being pushed of the pitch instead of going down, failing to get over the try line to prevent a drop out and not using all 6 tackles to get up the field. But the last 20 minutes were absolutely fantastic.

Special mention for the announcer had no clue what so ever and had clearly been drafted in from the footy. Overall a good nights entertainment with plenty of Barnet fans who had taken up the offer.

Bizarre thing on the way out was being surrounded by teenagers speaking german, god knows how they got drafted in.

Usual cr4p from the coach

London coach Tony Rea said: "You are never happy with a loss, but our fight to the death was impressive.

"I thought there was a lack of confidence at the start, and we made too many errors.

"But we are showing good progress which is obviously very important to us.

"We are a team and we will succeed if we stick together.

"As a team we are moving forward, we just need individuals to keep improving.

"But if we keep improving and progressing week by week we will definitely get where we want to be."

How poor was the number 5 last night. That bloke couldn't catch a cold. Thank christ he went of with a bad leg. It makes you wonder just how players like him and Atkins even get considered to play at this level when they dont have the basic natural ability to comfortably catch a ball. I wont even touch on No5's defence.

Where's that Tony? Unless you started the season with your heart set on the championship in 2015, then you're talking bollox.

rooster! I don't think fitness was actually the issue yesterday, in fact as the game went on, that was when we scored.

I guessed. People use it as a reason/excuse for losing sometimes. Invariably it's simply a load of old and as wire quin once pointed out more to do with the amount of D we have to endure. Whether that be through our own silly mistakes, penalties, cheap turnovers, or being simply outweighed, outmuscled or outclassed.

He didnt play Solomona if Im not mistaken. He came on as a replacement for 5. (or at this stage had I given up and was hoping)
