| Quote: Adeybull "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. |

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

| Quote: Ferocious Aardvark "Whereas Leeds, of course, do not have any gloryhunting fans. Oh no. In 2003 when they had 12 out of 14 home gates smaller than we had yesterday, for example (but 23,035 against us).
No, we are the only club in world sport where more fans attend to watch the champion team. Every other sports team across the globe has 100% true, loyal, dyed-in-the-wool fans who always attend, 100%, and all would even if they never won a game in a century.
And our lack of success presumably led to the attendance being roughly 3.5% UP on last year.
Another real rubbish trolling attempt

No reasoning required.
Leeds got smaller crowds then because they weren't so successful. They get big crowds now because they are successful. If in ten years time they are in the 2nd division they will no longer get 2009-size crowds.
It's not rocket science.
You can call the "additional" fans "gloryhunters" or whatever. It's actually just normal. |

I don't see what the big deal about this is. As is pointed out it was bigger than last year despite Bradford having probably the worst start to the year since they started SL.
We all know which direction the Bulls crowds have been going in and there are problems. I think the ground is of course one but I think the negativity around the club is another. People seem to be jumping off a sinking ship. I completely agree that the Bully Bully thing has had its day and they need a new direction.
One final point, it was also bigger than the 13,631 that attended the derby in 2002.
