Having been to Odsal many times when there was genuinly 11,000 people there I can definately state that yesterday there may have been 6 or 7,000 but 11,000 absolutely no way.

I presume the Bulls have assummed that all their Season ticket holders attended and included them in the figures. If so Giants should do that - doesn't it help on the Franchise criteria.

Given that there were 700 -1000 Giants fans I would say it was an appalling attendance from fans who keep coming round with the begging bowl.

You're right mate there was absolutely no way there was 11K+ there yesterday. I would guess 7K tops. And that's being generous.

Now now dont be upsetting those precious bullys,they might bring the merger up again!

My partner asked me what i thought the crowd was and i guesstimated 7000, season ticket reason answer as restored my faith in my guesstimation abilities

yes they do include all season ticket holders i think.
not sure if we do that too but i know Town's crowdS are given on tickets issued rather than actual attendance.

It is difficult to judge how many were there in that huge Crater, I suspect more than the 7,000 people have suggested, my own guess was about 8,000, but it was little more than a guess. The seats were probably half full so 2,500 there, 5,000 on the opposite side and 500 behind the sticks?

I was stood behind the sticks and from there could see at full time as the side terrace cleared that there were a lot of Giants fans there. There were no reasonable grounds for bagging yesterdays travelling support.

every team automatically puts what season ticket holders they have on the attendance.

Giants dont

ah but the bulls fans only look behind the posts and were well gone by the time we could see all the fans on the side on terrace

Some clown at the match was saying we should be ashamed of ourselves bringing only 400 to the game. He was shot down by a few Giants fans next to him as he walked down the steps on the main terrace. Apparently 'Fartown Fartown' is a gay chant too!

Great to stand on that terrace as the bitter bulls fans filed out unable to believe that we were the Better team how sweet was the ovation our boys got after all the years of struggle. Another day to be proud to be claret and gold

Weird, bitter lot aren't they - we found Miss BitterBull 2012 in the pub after, my god the woman was foaming at the mouth

Not forgetting the obligatory 'where were you when you were poop' histrionics coming out of the ground from women who didn't know the sport existed until 2000, actually i thought it was a good turnout considering the weather, certainly a lot of giants there judging by the cheers from the very top after the first try

Theres Nowt like a Bitter Bull. One said to me in a snarl "you're just a joke club" to which I replied "so much so your famous son Robbie Paul works for the Giants" I swear his pupils turned red with the rage.

To which the obligatory reply is- either a) wearing a bulls shirt or b) same place as your fans now you are.



Remember it for next time.

If true how do Bradford count their season ticket holders as well as the traditional 13 game ticket they do a decreasing price voucher system that gets you into however many games you want to pay for but you do not have to stipulated which games you will use them for.....if people buy a 4 game book it seems a bit wrong to include them in the gate for all 13 games.

I dont think Town are, the home game against Shorpe was just over 10k, but apparently they have 13k season ticket holders

Town definitely do cos even town fans complain about it !!

Town do include season ticket sales

Back to the Odsal crowd i've seen pics of the terrace taken from the stand and the 2 blocks by the tunnel which are usually rammed with bulls fans were both probably less than half full, certainly very few people in the bottom of either block...in fact the 2 end blocks which were mostly Giants fans were the 2 most heavily populated blocks on the main terrace!!!!
