Your 'support' was absolutely shocking, we'd have brought 3000 to your place.  |

"Castleford's biggest home crowd of the 1991-1992 season wasn't quite 12,000 while on average they'd sit around 6000 but the noise, the chanting and the singing just blows you away" - Tawera Nikau "Standing Tall"
"I can tell you the atmosphere was extraordinary at Wheldon Road on big days. The ground held around 15,000 people, every one of them close to the action on the field and the noise would be enough to send a rumble through the town" - Malcolm Reilly "Reilly - A Life in Rugby League":d7dc4b20b2c2dd7b76ac6eac29d5604e_39793.jpg |

Nice to see Vella putting something back in to the game, although I'd have preferred him to finish his career BEFORE trying to ref a game.

Quite, and in my opinion it was harsh on your club to have been fined so heavily for the welcome provided by your fans.

And for a winner takes all Saturday evening home game at which you were saying goodbye to your coach and several long-serving popular players you managed 8500.
You're hardly Barcelona.

And Cas would have drawn more would they? Considering we've finished with a higher home average I doubt it.  |

No they wouldn't. Cas are a small town with a population of 40 000 with a number of well established SL and Championship teams on their doorstep and will always struggle to match the support of other teams. My point was that for HKR, a club from a city with a population of a over quarter of a million and only one other team in the vicinity, with all the reasons to attend the match which I mentioned before, I don't see a home support of 8500 anything to crow about. You clearly think its an achievement so well done you.

1. The game was rearranged at fairly short notice (e.g. I would not have been able to get out of working personally at that notice).
2. It was moved to a Saturday night, difficult for some people to get to for a number of reasons.
3. It was on Sky, this unfortunately keeps some casual fans away who choose to spend their entry money in pub to watch the game (if you looked at attendance stats for all clubs though I would bet no club is exempt from this type of support loss).
All that considered I thought it was a fairly good crowd. If it had been at Cas your crowd would have been boosted by at least 2000 away fans (compared to 200), that's a huge difference. |

Like Bradford's or Huddersfield's was?  |

Pretty irrelevant really.  In each of the four games we've played at The Jungle in SL I would estimate (from been at each one) that we have taken a minimum of 1500 to each of them, none of them as important as last night's game, so I feel a 2000+ guess is a fair one. Hell we took 2000-2500 there for an NL1 game in 2005.

That sure is a fantastic crowd, for which they deserve some serious credit. ![]()
Hull FC's attendance was 16,000 - 2,000 = 14,000. I know East Hull education is bad Roofs, but come on!
