Didn't Fax get a massive crowd for a final league game against Batley, when they needed that big crowd to boost their average attendance to meet SL criteria? (about 20,000...........ish! icon_wink.gif )

I was there that day and they quoted about 4500 to bring their average up to the requisite so they could apply for a Superleague licence.

Think record Championship crowd was Widnes v Leigh about 2003. Leigh won.

DB Just tweeted that at close of play today over 6000 tickets sold inc just over 1400 from Bulls & with South stand capacity set at 1900 ( 2100 actual but 10% less unreserved seating ) the east stand will be on sale from tomorrow.

Widnes v Salford in 2008 got 8,000ish I think.

To have sold over 6,000 tickets at this stage is absolutely unreal. Glad to see such a big Bradford support as well.

Quote: Leyther_Matt "A sell out was never likely and technically not possible anyway due to unreserved seating.

However, as mentioned above, the LSV record is well within reach which would in turn beat our last biggest second tier crowd which was the 6,399 vs Widnes in the play offs in 2001. Even that it was boosted by 2,000+ away fans which probably won't be the case on Sunday, as was the 5,500ish we had for the play off game vs Oldham in 2000.

Prior to that.....??'"

Didn't we play Owdum and the Mutants in consecutive games that year?

I remember the 6k + game and the 6k Oldham game like Yesterday !!

The biggest crowd prior to that was the Challenge Cup plate Semi Final when it approached nearly 7k (4k of which was from Hull KR). We got spanked because we had a CARP team !! lol Was it 1998 ??

Its going to be a great day. Irrespecative of tickets sold, people (Like me), will stroll up and queue for mine. Anything above 7k would be fantastic. To beat the up to date record (Widnes v salford ?) of 8200 would be unbelievable.

The plate semi final game was in 1997 and the official attendance was 5,500. Stanley Gene had a field day.

Sadly the day is remembered mainly afterwards for the delinquents who can not handle a drink that turned the B&Q car park, and surrounding streets into an absolute battle zone.

8,189.

There were 6,143 at the Willows earlier in the season for the same fixture too.

Sounds like Leigh v Bradford might be a bigger crowd than Salford v St Helens tonight, which is a fantastic effort*.

I am sure there will be plenty seats still left in the East stand. As good and as encouraging as the sales are, it is not going to be a complete lock out whilst the East stand remains entirely vacant.
