Pedantic,moi?

there were more than a couple of hundred but your not Hull KR! One thing we can agree on is that matches like that one are great for the game.I love local derbies especially Cas.

They had a lot of fans there that day. Well over 3000 imo. Cas have better attendances than us even when they were relegated. We should be asking why. I was at Bradford last week our support that day was pitiful, we can not attract support. Maybe it is the ground, but Cas's is not much better than ours and they get the crowds.

We are a city, we must do more to attract the fans back. I would love to see the stands packed the atmosphere would be immense. But will it ever happen? Is anybody bothered, or are we just kidding ourselves.

Does it really matter?

This is because the ground as had its day and the club has been badley run. New ground, new owners , new era it will bring a lot more through the gates !

I didn't say it would happen now did I daft lad.

There was never that many cas there that night. That night and the week before it Wakefield was buzzing all the talk was of Trinity and everyone was wanting tickets. It was a 11000 sell out but the demand from Wakefield and cas we could have easily got a 20000. I follow LUFC home and away been to world cups with England but the tense atmosphere that night was something else and the relief when we knew it was won was barmy. That match captured the Wakefield publics imagination and the start of the following season there were a few new faces following the mighty Trin but a few poor performances whilst getting soaked due to the lack of belle vue cover started to put them off. The top and bottom of it is the curse of belle vue it's held us back for years we need newmarket to happen ASAP. As for support for Wakefield it out there we haven't won anything since the great 60s team that's 40 years ago, we play in a dilapidated ground and last season played the most boring brand of RL ever and still got a 6k average. In a new stadium with a forward thinking board we will have no problems attracting the crowds back to Wakefield

Totally agree.

roll on OAKWELL cheap tickets a plenty.....

doesn't really matter how many cas fans were there, they lost! what were their attendances the following year? genuine question because i haven't got a clue! as for the kids prices..a season ticket is 20 quid for home and away, i think that is more than reasonable

I'd say there were probably 4-4.5k cas fans which when you consider their average gate of say 6.5-7k is a hell of a turn out percentage wise. with a forward thinking board, new ground and good marketing I believe both clubs could well have the potential to average 10k. Not just home support increasing but with better facilities away support would increase too.

because it wasn't all ticket

tamargrace,
for the home league games in national league 1 it was an average of 5,250 in 2007, slightly down from 5540 in 2005

for the record I just got that from castigers.net... and stripped out away games & cup games
