A big well done to all at the club today to get over 8000 for a London game

Agree, I wonder how many of the newcomers will come back? Apparently only 3 London fans came through the gates!

Lets have a bit of perspective on how well the club have done here. There were ticket offers for our game and the Hudds/Leeds game, albeit ours was a little cheaper, and we managed to get 8203 through our doors to the Hudds/Leeds game which was watched by 7756

What really annoys me, if Wakie only had 1000-1500 fans through the gates every single week, we would get slated by everyone, but for London, majority of the time they get praised for being the only Full time professional team in London.

Halifax & Fev can match/exceed that.

Rant over .

WELLDONE BOYS, A GREAT AND MUCH NEEDED RESULT!!!

I took my goddaughter (4) today and she loved it, all she wanted to know on the way back was when the next game was. Great initiative by the club, could have made a fan for life today.

I agree, if we can Incentivise New people to come to the games, although we wont get as much £££ on the gates, in the long run, it can only be a positive financially and for the Team as a whole.

Thats what I love about RL, Belle View and WTW, really good atmosphere for all ages.

I said the other day we would get over 8k. I was right.

We noticed some wearing British Coal sponsored shirts. Does anyone know when they were our main sponsors????

I took granddaughter same here, she loved every minute and also asked "can I come to next game" Brill! Daddy Cool was brilliant as ever.

I was stood with one of the London fans from half time and he told me he was one of ten supporters that had made the trip. He told me that he feared that there would be no London Broncos in 2016.

Cant tell you exactly but, late eighties/early nineties.
My first shirt was the blue shirt with red/white stripes on the top half of the front of the shirt which IIRC was 1989/90 and there were others after this.
There were a few of these on view today, hopefully some old fans coming back ??

1992? Controversial Sponsor really after what happened to the coal industry in Wakefield over the previous few years.
I've been going for years but its my 5 and 7 year old lads first game and they loved it as we'll as Daddy Cool and they want to go again as well as play the game.Spent over £30 on food and merchandise in the ground as a lot of others will have done which will increase the coffers.
Keep it up Wakefield, great idea!

I don't see how London can survive, its a shame . It took me over 2 hours when we played them away to get across London to the game. The word on that day was no team for next season.
No easy solution to the problem and I am sure the clubs at its wits end trying to improve its location, playing staff, and more importantly gate numbers.

Great effort from the club, gutted I didn't get to watch the win, too busy being used as an Airport taxi service.

The place was packed out - a great achievement for a game that is usually very poorly attended; won't have done our average attendances any harm at all and given the number of kids present, I bet the tills were running red hot.

Strange atmosphere though - in such a one-sided contest, both on and off-field, there wasn't a great deal to shout about.
