Says a lot about the kind of 'fans' you attract- sad really, I thought RL is about supporting your team, not admiring the stadium. Look at Headingly- not brilliant but Leeds can attract the crowds.
Personally I think Bradford have to move away from the whole 'Bully Bully' thing, it's passed its sell-by date.

We didn't steal them, they were willingly donated so long as we promised to use them as often as we can!

rubbish, you all managed to find odsal when you were successful and lots of free tickets
personally i think the lack of success recently just shows that a lot of bradford fans really were/are fairweather/gloryhunting fans
i dont think the leeds-bradford derby can come anywhere close to matching the wigan-saints and hull derbies, in fact i would say cas-wakey is getting bigger

| Quote: Paul124897 "It was pretty cramped at Odsal last night, felt like more than 14k'"
Yeh, same was said around us. Some gaps, but the seating stand was full and away stand was over half full and pop stand was significantly more cramped than we've had for a while! With the Hull KR game it was announced as around 12,000 and that felt bigger.. plus Hull KR had a lot of fans in the pop stand compared to most other teams.

| Quote: Adeybull "Bulls win game. Folk who do not wish us well find things to whinge about. Nothing new under the sun.'"
A Bradford fan that thinks everyone is against them. Nothing new here either.
If it helps, people were commenting on how low your crowds were before you had even won, so it's nothing to do with the reason you state. You're just defensive.
Quote: Adeybull "I think the scope of activities available in West Yorkshire compared to Wigan/Saints (eating pies/rugby league) and Hull (kicking people in the face/rugby league) keep Leeds/Bradford derby crowds low IMHO.'"
Ah, so when it's to do with Bradford, the activities are to do with the entire county. But when it's to do with anyone else, it's just their individual towns/cities. I like your fair comparison
There's knack all to do in Bradford. You have to go to Leeds to find something decent to do. Don't forget that St Helens is right next to Liverpool and Wigan next to Manchester also. So there goes your regional comparison.
Bradford found something that worked to get the crowds in, and either that no longer works or they no longer have the ability to make it work anymore. The questions are what they were, how they worked, and why they aren't working anymore.

suspect theres some massaging of the announced crowd figures tbh. as stated hullfc crowd was definitely larger than hullkr one and they were announced as virtually the same, Last night was deinitely more than 14.5k. Given capacity of odsal is 24.5k where on earth would another 10k have fitted in

[quote="BBC":3ldafglw]St Helens, due to move out of their 120-year-old ground at the end of the season, desperately wanted to mark the occasion with a victory in front of a full house.... And Wigan were left celebrating inside the enemy camp for the first time since September 2003.[/quote:3ldafglw]

In the gaps not taken up by an extra 10 thousand people?

Yes, that's true. But the point remains that Bradford are as well supported at the bottom half of the league as the so-called entertainers at the top of the league.
