Which bright spark at RL HQ failed to realise that all 3 Wakefield district clubs were at home this weekend.

No doubt the same one who had both Hull clubs at home last week.

Despite that I think that the area should be proud that over 16,000 were in attendance despite both Wakefield and Cas languishing in the lower regions of super league.

The area is still a hot bed for RL and produced the following attendances today; Wakefield 9k,
Cas £5k and over £2k at Fev.

Well done.

What harm did it have having all 3 clubs at home at once?

What does it matter? Traffic will have been fine. Its hardly like having Manchester United and City at home is it?

Course it is. 16k and 110k is comparable

While we're on the topic of speccy numbers, 4.8k at Cas is awful! Even with notorious poor travellers Salford in town - I would be really worried if I was a Tigger.

5.8 actually. Not great but they don't travel well and we've been dogeth recently. We got over 9k when we played fc earlier on in the season. For your casual fan, a game against fc appeals more then a clash against salford.

You may well have done, but that will be down to FC's great away following.

They always travel well to Cas as do us Rovers fans.

Doncaster are currently in a period of 4 weeks without a game...now that is fixture planning!

Superb crowd at Wakefield. I had been critical of the club and had spent many a time on here debating just why they were ever allowed into Super League. But their youth development and crowds recently have been very encouraging. Well done them.

What do people expect for ' dead rubber ' games ? , Cas's season is now essentially over , nothing to play for

So I presume Wakefield's decent crowd yesterday is purely down to hull fc then too?

In part yes, but also our fixtures are 35% up on last year and there were 1,000 more people
there than the same fixture last year.

Cas v Hull FC 2011: 7866
Cas v Hull FC 2012: 9050

So it's hardly a Wakefield exclusive thing having a good crowd against Hull FC (and it being up on last year too).

Maybe it's that the club charge home fans and away fans the same to watch the game ??? Or maybe because you can actually see the game as an away fan and not be a mile from the pitch ???

Hats off to Hull Fc for bringing 1000 more people down to your game this year then.
