You can understand people not coming out immediately at VP as the food and drink offer is very tempting when compared to the sight of the ball being hoofed up to the pinball section. It's a bit like the Egg-Chasing League at the Catalans Dragons, I spend more time at the free bar (to be fair who wouldn't when watching St Helens batter us again).

Really noticeable yesterday how much they'd stepped up the shuttle bus service. We normally get an Uber from the McDonalds opposite as the only viable quick way back into town without walking. Yesterday we walked straight onto the shuttle bus and were in town in seconds, thanks to them stopping the traffic to let the buses out.Is that just for away fans, though?

The rest of the seats are half empty anyway with everyone waiting for a beer or pie.

Switched the TV gantry back to the Doug Ellis stand but the gaping gaps in the middle of the Trinity where corporates were slow to take-up their seats made the stadium look half-empty? Maybe I imagined that as I can't find footage with the camera pointing from the Trinity.
