It's good that your fans finally recognise the good football we are playing and for the last couple of seasons' have rewarded us with your presence by making it your must go to see game of the season.

Spot on!

This is not recent, it started after 2004 and has continued steadily since. The new regime has pretty much carried on where the old one left off.

2004 average about 5000, lowest gate 3004, highest about 7,500

by 2008 average about 6800, lowest gate 5016, highest 9287

by 2012 average about 7900, lowest gate 5876, highest 9786

For me it's the lowest figure that matters most. Since 2004 we have doubled our core support - few other clubs have managed that without a new ground in that time period.

Although we are heavily discounting it's still a hell of an achievement from the old and new regimes.

If we have a good year I can see it reaching an average of 8000+ and a few 10,000 gates. Heady times for those who were there at BV in 1998 when we pulled just over 800 for a match against York.

Note: My averages are rough estimates.

Didn't Durham Giant just tell you it's all down to the Giants legendary away support, do keep up.

Change your name back to Fartown and a few more might go because them slacko's at side of me for some reaso think that's what you're called

Indeed, the biggest competitor to Wakefield in terms of capturing the sporting public of Wakefield is Leeds United, whose fans are becoming rapidly disillusioned with the realities of their long term absence from the Premiership which will be helping.

It is amazing looking round town nowadays, you can almost guarantee to see at least some kind of Trinity gear as you go about, back in the early 2000's it was rare. I think we are seeing the benefits of excellent community work over the last 10 years or so as well, we have much more presence in the city these days, a great deal of which are youngsters which is encouraging.
