Quote: dboy "Why?
Wakefield have done it.
We keep being told Bulls are massive and SL needs them.
Surely you don't have loads of fans who will only watch Bulls if they are in SL?'"
It's a bit more nuanced than that
Attendances held up for us the first year in the Championship (was it 2015? I forget). Then they gradually started to decline as we stumbled through financial "events", liquidation and assorted constant let-downs
Comparing Wakefield's one year stay in the Champ, when the novelty value alone helps keep things bubbling, with the Bulls after almost a decade in the second tier, isn't really comparing like for like.
How would Wakefield's attendances hold up if you were stuck in this league for a decade, I wonder?
