Suprised at our crowd last night.

I know the game was on Sky and there was only around 6-700 KR fans there but still we should have been getting more then that.

Wakey vs Leeds practically sold out for tommorow

The reality check has started to kick in

Brilliant!
I was really disappointed by the Cas crowd tonight although there was 5 of us watching at mine that would normally go but didn't due to other money commitments.
Namely partying.

Salfords gate is far more worrying than the 2,400 that will hit twickenham today........very very worrying for an M62 club.

Quins playing on a sunday. I bet that makes a difference tbh

well wakey getting a sell out, thats 2 good crowds in a row.

i should make fun of quins and salford too then if thats going to be the result.

if wigans form under mcguire continues i expect theyll end up with a crowd average of 16,000 - 17,000

See, you love us really.

the worst thing about it was cheap tickets were on offer as well

without wanting to start another franchise debate...as things stand i'd put my money on them dropping out to be replaced by the championship teams. Low crowds, no top8 finish, won't meet the financial criteria, or expansion, and this new ground is no closer to being reality. Sorry Salford fans but I just can't see another license right now.

I didn't create these attendance figures, I'm just giving you my source. If you believe the RFU are lying then that's your prerogative.

Only 70 out

Widnes v Barrow in the Northern Rail Cup today drew the same crowd as Salford's home game in Super League. Go figure RFL...

Anyone know the Odal crowd today? I remember being lectured on this board five or six years ago by a Bulls fan who instructed me that the fine Odal crowds of the period were attributable to the club 'doing things differently' - nowt to do with winning SL regularly - and that even a downturn in form would not dent the crowd numbers. Well, now we'll see. I'm genuinely sorry if Bulls go into decline as they epitomised the way SL needed to be embraced, never breached the salary cap, and generally set a fine example. But the old adage about success atttracting support remains as true for Bradford as for any club.

just a touch over 10,100 at odsal

over 9700 at wakey

it's my chosen Mastermind subject...London RL crowds 2000-2009


terrible crowd....i fact, worse than terrible, embarassing

might be a good idea for quins to ask the rfl to schedule them away next season when the 6 nations is on or a different day to when england play, hardly going to attract new fans to the stoop when they can stay home and watch teh rahrahs

As someone else has said Quins are not far behind 'heartland' club Salford on gates.

Salford need to do something very quickly to change their attendances.
Even the most critical RL fan can see the massive improvement of the Wakefield franchise since the last round of application preparation, Salford IMO need to make a similar case.

I honestly think the development of the "Wakefield brand" especially over the last 3 years is one of SL's great success stories. Year on year JK and the board have built upon previous success in a controlled and economically viable way.

When JK took over we we're in a bad way, on the brink of relegation, with a team of older, mainly foreign players who we're failing to meet their potential and SL's required level of quality.

Now we have a community department that leads the way in SL, arguably one of the best youth systems in the country and a team that's getting progressively better year, on year.

With the new stadium i truly believe we will witness the awakening of the biggest "sleeping giant" in RL.

Until then we need to keep up the hard work and keep our feet on the ground. But I don't think anyone can deny the Drednaughts a drink this evening.

gives an average for this round of 8602

I doubt that many will turn up for Bulls vs Castleford next week. The air of optimism that was around Odsal today was pretty much trashed by half time.

I agree that Wakey and Cas could both 'do a warrington' with a new stadium.

Crowd and status wise yes, I can see that.
In terms of form.. While we still have JK in charge "Not on my nelly!"





In all seriousness, thanks, it's good that RL is starting to notice WT for the right reasons!

10,000 is a very good crowd base for a club in a poor stadium

in a new ground they could even push for 20,000.

At times I dont know what planet you live on
