Not biting BT ..👌
Even the die-hards can't be arsed to bother turning up. An official crowd of just 60,783 watched St Helens clinch their fourth successive title with a 24-12 win over Leeds Rhinos.
Both teams' fans are located within one hours driving time to Old Trafford, that attendance figure is pathetic, but hardly surprising given the fact the game is bloody rubbish.

No need to alf. Rugby fans are more intelligent and realise that, with all the increases in the cost of living which have been forecast, they can just go down the local and watch the match without all the expense of travelling to Manchester and being ripped off by prices inside Old Trafford which football fans are more than happy to pay.
Working class sport is Rugby League, something which no longer can be said about football. Good match anyway and added to a brutal NRL match yesterday made for a good day of RL and I sandwiched a trip to Penrith in to watch Ashington play footie.
When socialism was no longer considered to be part and parcel of the British Labour party more members walked away than attended Sunday's Rugby League Grand Final. Last count around 250,000 people are no longer card-carrying fee-paying members of the Labour party. That's enough to fill Old Trafford more than three times over.
What's more, Starmer has even less chance of winning the next General Election than a major Rugby League Final has of filling Old Trafford on their Cup Final day.
Dear Alfie and Sub,
I did promise to watch the Salford v St Helens game and report back, I watched 20 minutes of Salford struggling to even get to the halfway line and gave up, bored witless yet again. I didn't see the Final so I can't comment, and I'm not on a wind-up either, you two clearly enjoy the game, so good luck to you, but I have tried and tried and better tried, and the only conclusion I can reach is that Rugby League is not for me.
That's fine sinkov, horse racing has the same effect on me. It's a good job that we all don't like the same things, life would be very boring and there would be no banter at all on here.
BT, have you thought about starting a new political party? Surely a man with your political interest can come up with a solution to all the problems, after all, you have over quarter of a million ex-Labour Party members that you could enlist and I am sure that they must hold very strong views if they saw fit to leave the Party that they have loved and supported for years. The country needs a large political change -----here is your chance! It would actually give people like myself another choice in my local area to lessen the chance of our leftie MP winning yet again.
