Quote: davids "It does strike me as strange that Wakefield, a club with an impresssive history, don't get bigger crowds.
Like Warrington, there is no other significant local sports team, although I'm sure Leeds United have quite a few fans in Wakefield just as Liverpool and Man United have a lot in Warrington.'"
In Wakefield's case the facilities are a big turn off, its not even like other old grounds where the atmosphere is great on the old terraces so you put up with it, you get Wet and the sound leaks out and the steps are shallow so the view is poor. The club have also stuttered along facing financial disaster for years, until the latest owners have steadied the ship and to their credit they have performed well given the budget.
