9783 was last years crowd when we beat them 28 18 at home if we can beat this that would be a tremendous effort, at least our gates would be on the up in the current economic climate no mean feat with whats also gone off pre season but also pivotal to a franchise I would guess.

Does that 5,000 include Season ticket holders?

I'd guess at 8,200

Suns shining and it's a warm day, perfect conditions for good entertaining rugby league.

£2.50 a pint in the bars, top notch nosh available who wouldnt want to be at Belle Vue this afternoon?

Time to make it back to back home wins over the Rhinos for the first time in decades

9457

£2.50 per pint according to the website (and reserves game yesterday).

Leeds lost in the last round

Sorry getting old, memory playing tricks on me

Ever the optimist 10.981 nice afternoon and cheap beer

Att: 8763
and the winner is...

Disappointed we didn't get 9 000

Do I win owt?

It would be a nice consolation - I had a cheeky fiver on Big Frankie to score the first try, at 33-1; he bloody well nearly did it too - I nearly had a stroke when he went for the line in the first few minutes.

Mariano? he class is that kid. if i had seen those odds i would have backed myself.

He is indeed - he's probably one of our best signings for this season; was clearly kept out of the HKR first team due to their ethnic cleansing policy, and is loving getting regular game time.

Shame we didn't break 9000 but still a good crowd IMO.

Excellent crowd, pity it didn't quite reach 9k. Thanks to the Leeds followers for making the trip, brought a great following.

Wakey folk are notoriously fickle. I see it as some won't come because they are just seeing the results (ie mainly losses), whereas those of us who go to the home games are seeing a steady improvement week on week and a team putting a good shift in and showing some pride in wearing the shirt.

Todays performance was miles better than the one against Salford and had we been able to play like we did today against Salford we would have won that game.

If we sign a few players and beat some of the sides around us quins, crusaders, catalans then I think we might see an increase in the gates.

Someone may have already posted but did anyone notice we had the 2nd highest attendance this week. Only the big game between Warriors and Wolves got a bigger attendance. I know we were playing leeds and they have a good following but to me this says even in hard times there are more Wakefield fans willing to put their hands in their pockets and get behind the team and even though Belle Vue aint as pretty as some of the other teams stadiums. And it also shows for all the bagging off it gets the Rhino's supports can't really mind that much if still coming in numbers.

I know i posted a negative on another topic but feel this deserves some credit.

A few stay aways that i know turned out for this game, and in fairness enjoyed the afternoon at sun soaked BV, i think a little interest is returning but it will take time.

Good turn out from Leeds.

I brough 4 people, 3 from scarboro all of whom had a good day

I think a few were put off because they found out Jakey wasn't coming.

Gates are down at all clubs, are they not?

Mr Glover has to fight more than just the apathy of the Wakefield public this season, he's also got to take on the fact that, thanks to Nick and Dave, people are feeling skint, fear becoming skint or actually are skint.

I think our financial predicament is mainly down to Gordon, but that is for a different site.

Conveniently ignoring the fact that the economy was starting to recover when the ConDems conned their way into power?

Meet me in Cats Bar any time for a continuation of this particular discussion!
