quite surprised by this - only 2 10,000 + crowds against them.
interesting to see how the figures have more or less remained around the same mark as upto say 2007 they would bring thousands over and it would be like a home game for them.
Whereas the last few years where their following has been literally down to hundreds its the Giants fans who have made the crowd look decent.
If Bradford's away support gets back upto what they had in their glory days and our crowds continue to rise then this fixture should be attracting 13, 14,000+ every year.
Its a shame our crowds were so poor at the height of the Bulls success otherwise this game would have had some huge potential.

bulls never bring a decent following...they cant afford to come out of odslum

anything around the same mark as the first game will be a good crowd i reckon (8800)

thing is though, those 6-8,000 crowds back then were probably 70% bulls fans

It would be nice to get 10k+ for this game.

10 k + would be great we are using 2 buddy vouchers this year

even MRS DEF4x4 is coming. She only enjoys the rivalry not the game

last year she only enjoyed wigan away and said why can't every game be like this.

worse little def4x4 (5yrs) has decided to support Batley Bulldogs as they have a better mascot and play better music to the games (gutted)

Bradford have a terrible away support - I think Crusaders bring more over.

Pot calling the kettle black there I think.

Fair point though, we had to take the Crap when it was our turn !!

Bulls supporters will not want to come and pay our prices when they got season tickets for £60 for 13 home games.

Yeah, but you guys still don't travel in vast numbers. So having a crack at other people's travelling support is always going to be funny.

Come to Odsal on a bulls home game this season, it'll be the first time Huddersfield fans will have seen a crowd.

Our away support is improving. ATEOTD no one has any right to throw mud at others, no matter how many they bring anywhere.

I would live to see the demographics of
a) Our season ticket sales
b) Our Home gate attendances

Because I believe therein lies our 'problem' of away support. As a club we have strived to improve our home gates on the back of promoting the game to the youngsters - I believe our proportion of family attendances is higher than most clubs in Superleague and subsequently going to an away game on an ad-hoc basis is both expensive and a bit of a logistic nightmare. I can barely get two kids dressed and out of the house before 7:30am so I can go to work!

I have seen that our attendances have improved massively for certain games, Warrington is becoming a game of choice for many people because of the ease of traveling, the atmosphere and welcoming nature of the home fans (albeit loosely segregated) and the overall matchday experience. When you compare that to the Bulls for example where generally our fans congregate on the 20m line, are subject to verbal abuse from the home fans and have a p!ss poor view for the kids. I gather from a Wakey friend that the gameday experience is changing at Bradford with the bringing back of some of the off-field experience which make it a great place to go - hopefully that will improve things and attendances.

At the end of the day, is it not upto any club to promote an away match, take a look at any of the club websites and see if there is anything for visiting away fans? This would surely assist in encouraging people to attend from afar.

Bradford is a City Huddersfield is a Town. Going off attendances to heads of population for both areas I think we'd come out quiet healthy compared to Bradford. We've won nothing of note for the past few years and still our crowds are looking healthy compared to a few years ago.

Whats going to happen when we win something which isn't too far away going on how we are progressing. We'll get the fair weather fans coming as they'd be watching a team that wins things and the crowds will go up which has been the case at both Leeds and Bradford.

As for Odsal, what can I say!! It makes Wakefield and Salford's grounds look good. In plain English its a s**thole that needs knocking down and starting again but its just a shame you can't afford to do it. It might have been a good ground in the 1920's but not now. Go play at that other s**thole in Bradford, Valley Parade. Both clubs could live off their recent history which they can't seem to let go of. You can live in the past and still believe that the Bulls are the team to beat and has every opposition supporter quaking in their boots at the thought of playing you.

Dear Sir or Madam,
Having read your recent post
You are cordially invited to join the RFL Crowd Watchers Association. This is an organisation for people who purport to be rugby fans but actually like to look at the attendance. There will be regular meetings and the chance to purchase special merchandise.
:2erff5tsMeetings:2erff5ts
Meetings will always begin in the same way. Those in attendance will spend the first part of the meeting counting the people in the room. This is followed by a session where those in attendance make disparaging and infantile comments about those who have not attended. At the end of the meeting there is little or no discussion of the content of the meeting. Instead there is continued repetition of the comments made at the start.
:2erff5tsMerchandise:2erff5ts
RFLCWA has always sought to be innovative. This year we will introduce:
‘The wing mirror’ – our members have sometimes been unfairly castigated for facing the crowd rather than the game [how else can we count them?!. This new product allows you to ostensibly face the game. However it is discrete and highly manoeuvrable and enables you to count people behind you.
‘The Mappy’ – our members like to count every last person attending a game and the sheer excitement of noticing who is AND isn’t attending can leads to some people ‘having an accident’. The Mappy [:2erff5tsMa:2erff5tsn Na:2erff5tsppy is the discrete way for Crowd Watchers to deal will all their involuntary emissions. Later in the season we will introduce the Woppy for women if there is sufficient demand (most women seem to watch the rugby!) and Mappys with club logos will be available from 2012.

You are the sort of person who would fit in at the RFLCWA – Come and join us!

How much were the Bulls given in their allocation?

Personally, I think its great that they're potentially bringing a big following over as it can only add to the matchday experience. There is more chance of generating an atmosphere if there are two strong sets of followings to aim chants/songs at.

I'm bringing a friend to a RL match for the first time and would love it if both fans could engage in a banter and add a fine atmosphere to what should be a great derby match.

Here's hoping!

All 500 you requested? Wow...Just Wow.

They're massive really massive the Manchester United of super league. The bulls will be there in the thousands where as we'll fill the stands with a couple of old blokes, a whippet and a hand full of kids we've bribed to come from the local orphanage!!!!

Will the Luke Robinson fan club be there on sunday? Don't mean to sound harsh but his sister looks like desperate dan from the dandy.

Have you looked in the mirror lately
