Official figure 8120, how many Wakey fans do we think ?
There was certainly plenty of vocal support for the boys, good effort all round

There were loads of you in that stand. Between 900 - 1,100. Both central sections of the stand was full and there were a few other fans in the other sections.
Considering the distance travelled, the time of kick off, the weather, the fact the game was on TV and against one of the less glamorous clubs I thought it was a superb following and a credit to the club. Very vocal and supportive throughout.

Looking at the stand id of said around 1200 and maybe a few hundrew down the sides. Good away attendance for a friday night game at the wrong side of the pennines.

Id say a little over a 1000-1050 if i'm being honest, The middle sections weren't completely full, but we overspilled into the other sections too, and there was the odd enclave in the other/main? stand.
A great effort, all things considered, i was/am hugely proud to be amongst you all.

Now bring on KR!!

Using the new 'Richard Wright technique' of estimating away support, we had however many our nearest neighbours *actually* took, plus 20%.

Bless him.

How do we replicate the friday night atmosphere back at BV ?
I think our home support ends up spread all over the ground and although there is sporadic singing/ chanting it never gets close to the good away days when the faithful are all together.
The players really seemed to appreciate the vocal support, especially when the game was tight and we need to find a way of creating the same noise at home, any ideas ?

A roof all along the entire Western Terrace would be a start. When the section over chav corner gets covered it should see the atmosphere improve, unfortunately this will be offset with the larger roof over the Doncaster Road end where the away support congregate.

Just shows how stupid you really are, i was actually saying you were well supported, not all of us Cas fans are numpties, Like i said i reckon there was 1200 at the back of the stand (half full, approx 2500 stand) and maybe a couple of hundred sown the side, you will see on another thread i think we took around 1500 to Salford. So away support about the same.

Nice of you to break out of the stereotype that many people on here hold of Cas fans, by opening your post with a totally uncalled for and entirely unnecessary personal insult.

I was in fact referring to RW's assertions that Cas had taken 1800 to Salford, and his flurry of publicity about how many buses you were taking when the WTW away travel club started to get some positive publicity.

Regardless of how many went to Salford, well done to the those who did - it was a horrible day.

Aye good turn out Wakey and hopefully we'll return the favour in the penultimate weekend



Hopefully all 3 sides (bringing Cas in) can continue in a healthy vein of home / away crowds.

I'd guess at 800 - 1000 which is good - I'm one of the unfortunates to have been at BV when we got less than that for a home game against York

I apologise for the insult, im abit short today, sat at work after staying up to watch the superbowl was not a good idea.

like i said good attendance from both sets of fans, i think weve both got things to be proud of this morning

Seems we have come a long way in a short time thanks to Andrew glover and everyone at belle vue ... I remember Wigan away last season seen to remember there was around 96 of us and freddies dog !!!!

Season before on a friday night was an equally poor effort from memory.

Dont look back folks, we just want to get behind the boys again on Sunday and find a way of generating some decent home support.

Not been negative my friend, just pointing out we come so far, looking forward to this season booked for broncos and catalans trips

Best thing we could do with these ground improvements would be to segregate one of the stands and have home fans only. Would at least make some noise, we haven't had noise at BV since the early 90's apart from the odd occasion.

It might be embarrassing for a short time, but if the club announced at HKR game that one particular area had been designated as "the kop" then maybe those inclined to sing etc might gravitate there?

I dont think the club should need to do this, surely the fans can decide between them.
If we say that the Donny Road End is "mixed" that leaves either the Western Terrace or the "Family Stand"

I agree that the club shouldn't need to, but this issue has been around for a long time, before I started watching in 98 anyway. I think anything is worth a go, maybe call one of the new stands a name which suggests that it is one for the "hardcore" singers etc

It's always livelier on the western terrace with plenty of noise, also the chants and banter needs to be away from the family stand so it is the logical conclusion to make that the home fans area with the north terrace still being mixed supporters

Has details of the Broncos trip been announced? I heard it was being looked into and the price mentioned was £29 inc ticket.

And the bar is on that side
