If we get a roof on the popular side and STILL get 14k against Leeds then I think mocking us is fair game. Until then its a fruitless exercise in comparing crowds at roofed stadiums with the hideous hole we play in.
The fact that we managed to pull in 15k for smaller games back in the day is merely testament to the staggering quality of the marketing going on back then. That marketing budget no longer exists.

But Saints have never averaged around 15k or whatever Bulls did, which means they've [ilost[/i fans. |

Personally I think Bradford have to move away from the whole 'Bully Bully' thing, it's passed its sell-by date.'"
headingly isnt brilliant but atleast its sheltered and on a cold rainy night standing on the terrace at odsal isnt the most appealing thing to do especially when the games on sky.
but i suppose you need something to moan about |

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.

Not at all.
I'm just perplexed that I log on here having got back from the game, and all I see are threads having a go at Bradford's crowds and threads having a go at the officials (to name but two). Nothing about the game itself. Yet when Bradford lose, we get "Bradford are Finished" - type threads. You don't have to be partisan to see a theme there? |

So you're annoyed that everyone isn't singing Bradford's praises and suggesting Bradford are going to storm to the top of the league now? Is that it?
It was a poor crowd for what is supposed to be one of SL's biggest games. People are allowed to comment on it. They hardly won convincingly, so not many people are going to suggest that Bradford are on the up and up. |

Is Saints vs Leeds a derby game?
What a completely ridiculous comparison! |

Problem? Am I not allowed to talk about RL matters on two RL forums? It's not like I started either thread, is it?

at you comparing a game between teams from different counties on a Friday after work to your local derby on a bank holiday. |

Christ-on-a-bike, you people are thick. Do I have to repeat it a third time?
You may not accept the comparison of the two games v'ers Leeds. However, overall, on average, by the statistical mean, if you add the the attendances up and divide them by the number of games , 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
