Not great, but probably not helped by the weather and also the fact that England were playing in the Euros final. Imagine a lot of people were either on an all day session or round at friends etc. I did expect a few more from Wakey to be honest but I suspect the reasons above will also have seen a hit a in numbers.

| I suspect that the weather and previous traffic problems for the semi put a few off. I drove this time instead of using the buses and arrived much earlier. As expected, it was a dour winter rugby reincarnation both on the pitch and stood watching.

| Bully is right, weather put me off. Plus the fact that both teams were injury ravaged, so I thought it would be a low scoring slug-fest on a small boggy pitch with me miles from the action on a bleak crumbling terrace getting cold and soaked. I opted for the (crap) Radio Leeds commentary while I cooked a Sunday roast for me and the Mrs as she watched Wimbledon.

Think that is a fair point ,think we are becoming a team that is short on flair with the job of getting us in to S L.But do not think 5 to 6 hundred supporters is bad when you consider all the facts

| I think the away support is superb, and I salute them. I think I've been to more away matches this year than I have in the last three years but that's because of the novelty of us being the 'big team' along with being quite happy to contribute financially to teams like Sheffield, Batley, Doncaster etc.
I refuse to travel to the wrong side of the hills on a Thursday or Friday night, and despite the stadium being superb I hate travelling across Leeds to Headingley on a Friday night.

| Can't fault the Wakey away support. No other championship clubs brings as many,

Same here. Have only missed one this year and I also like the fact that we pay the gate fee, have a couple of pints and a pie at the away games and give them a couple of quid.
I've really enjoyed going to away games and seeing a lot of people with a lot of humility about them. It's been a pleasure. Favourite so far Batley away.

| Typical Bradford exaggerated crowd figure, no way was there 3200 there on Sunday, possibly 500 Wakey fans , less than a 1000 in the seated stand, less than a 1000 on the terracing tunnel side, one man and his dog in the corporate. At very best 2500 in attendance. But as we all know truthfulness, honesty, integrity, sportsmanship and respect for match officials are qualities that have never been evident at the Bulls.

Well Belly what a sad loss to the diplomatic service you are.

| Always makes me laugh when someone reckons they can count the crowd themselves.

| Most clubs (in lots of sports) do this counting "tickets sold" (or given away), rather than the actual number attending. Although I think that for official purposes eg Safety organisations, they do have to reveal the actual number of people attending. And I think IMG work on actual numbers as well (?)
We probably do it ourselves. Our opening league match v Bradford was quoted as a 7221 sellout, but I'm not sure there were quite that many in the ground. There seemed a few too many empty seats in the new stand.
