Sorry missed this what was last night attendance ?

Sky aren't showing it on their page but I think it was about 4,700.
The team deserve more but cold night on Friday when on tv was bound to knock it down a bit.

Tbf it's not bad not it needs to improve

4,264 on the BBC site. Being on Sky will be a hazard if you're aiming to be a top 4 team.

Last year, 4964 on a Sunday round 4, not on sky.
I guess the club know whether home support has increased a little?
Better weather and keeping winning should see an increase.
They deserve better.

Surly after hkr support which was just short of 1000 our support will improve ok TV, Friday, weather,all contribute not bad but can be better

Credit to the 100 or so hardy Salford supporters who made the trip. Nearly a special night for them too.

the ground half empty did not look good on tv

The Wakey end looked pretty good I thought, all things considered.

Agree, if we can keep at the right end of the table and compete in most games playing good attractive RL, hopefully, the crowds will continue to rise, like they did last season.

Yeah look at how low Cas crowds had sank before they became quaity and had the Wembley appearance. Just feel we need something like that to bring the lapsed fans back properly

i think this has been covered many times before, I have my own theory about the apathy of the Wakefield public BUT am hopeful that if we could only have a slice of success, then at least some supporters would join the faithful that have stuck with the club through thick and thin.
Friday nights attendance on a bitter cold night, with the match on tv and playing a club that doesn't have great crowds themselves was to be expected in Wakefield.
Sadly, with such a thin crowd covering, all the beauty of the ground is there for all to see.

I thought it a reasonable attendance for a Sky game on a freezing friday against unfasionable opposition - hardly a draw card.

If we keep winning and as the weather warms up we'll see. It would help greatly though if the players would actually perform on the 'expectation games'. It seems that whenever we have the oppurtunity to advertise ourselves we turn in a poor showing, CCup last year, Leeds at home the year before, it's a real Trinity thing and has been for years.

I know we won some cracking games last year especially in the super 8's but I honestly think some fans make their minds up ealier in the season and nothing seems to sway them after that - might be wrong just how I see it.

Hudds may be one such game this year, early one to set a marker IMHO.

2015 crowd was 3240
2016 crowd was 2500 (also on Sky I think)

I know season ticket holders who stayed at home on Friday night as they didn't fancy the weather. Salford didn't bring many so I'm not concerned really. Sky hits our crowds, just the way it is.

One would hope, perhaps optimistically, that over a season it could have a positive effect; if we win on Sky with low attendance, maybe some stayaways will turn up to the next home game, hoping to see more of the same? Also can't forget the positive benefit to sponsors - I'm sure they're happy seeing their brand on TV for 80 minutes.
