Indeed. It was announced over the PA system before the end of the match, in the time-honoured "we can now reveal today's official attendance, which is..." corny announcement. Not sure which hack puts it out on the wire - with the "standard" match report that every man and his dog, from Sporting Life to the nationals to the BBC, picks up and uses - but blame him.

He probably misheard the announcement because all the main stand (at the back of which the hacks sit) was shouting "fooooorrrrrwwwaaaaaaarrrrrrd!!!!!" at the time...

There's all-ways one ready to bring down the thread a notch or two!!!

Av. 14,249, projected av. 13,769. Could top 14k but accept that there didn't look to be 13k there yesterday. That said, plenty in the stand...

13,224 is a cracking crowd for a Televised game in the pi55ing rain.



Our Australian NRL cousins could learn a few things about turning up......Manly got just over 8,000 and it was no way near as wet as Odsul was on Sunday.......and St george could only manage 10k on a dry night

Fair play to Bradford, the fans have had to watch some real e this season but, I'm sure it'll have got some locals back showing an interest in the club again.

Will Bradford be repeating the offer for next season?

no way was there the published attendance for the Bulls Saints game last week.

you could see on sky there was hardly anyone there. bradford are just including the season tickets, wheather they attend or not.

was a great bit of marketing though, so hats off.

On course to average more or less spot on 14k.

Naughty Bradford. Cos no other team in SL or any other sport does that do they?

So Giants take more than Saints and almost as many as Hull, Cas and Wire as your attendance chart proves. Yet we still get called poorly followed!

How does that chart prove that??

Keep dreaming. There was about 100 on each of the away terrace, popular side and in the seated area.

I can vouch for there being at leat 200-300 there. Judging by how many we could see streaming out along the top of the Rooley Avenue terrace with about 15 mins to go...

Geez you're good, must be wonderful to be able to go to 3 different games considering 2 were in Australia and 1 in England under 24 hours apart



I'd dare say Odsul would have more covering than Manly's home ground as well, oh, and a Monday night match too.

Tell me, what's the weather like were I am at the moment gutters, in down rain or a slight drizzle?

More cover at Odsal?? You HAVE to be kidding


It is literally a big hole in the ground

And manly is?



They are both crap, but one at least has some glorious history, the other has Manly playing in it.

Hehe, the only thing Manly doesn't have compared to Oldslum is those cool curves in the corners, any half back work worth 50p a season should be a god there.

They're not as bad as they were. Seen the ball slow or reverse down those many a time

Yeah, but I seen Geof Toovey completely disappear one day at Brookie, the ground just swallowed him up



Has Oldslum ever eaten anyone?

'78 Roos.

I don't know, shall I ask "af"?
You're in his back pocket after all

Who?
