Anyone who has watched them and fallen out of love with them will go, anyone who goes anyway will take their Mum, Dad, Brothers, Sisters, Cousins, friends etc.
The weird thing is that Salford have only sold 7,000 themselves. So if my maths is correct, Saints will have only shifted 7,893 or thereabouts. Not spectacular numbers from us, the debacle of Wembley will have put quite a few off I think.
A lot will have bought from the RFL, but again it doesn't look like there is much evidence of that as our corner sections are more available than Salford's are. I'm enjoying speculating about the crowd, it's taking my mind of the sense of dread that is washing over me. I'm not sure I'll be able to take another horrendous final performance from us. We need to win, and be on it from the very start and not let up.
