You are wrong. From the main stand there were almost as many Cas fans on the end terrace as there were Bulls fans at the worryingly sparsely populated side terrace.

The attendance was clearly announced correctly, and the shortfall was all Bulls fans. Well done to Cas for coming in very decent numbers.

Well it just shows where there club is heading really, 8,000 fans. If i was Sam Burgess i'd be on that first plane to Manly.

Rubbish. Popular stand was as sparse as I have seen it since 1996.

Dreadful Bulls crowd. Decent Cas turnout.

The thing is, though, given what the HOME fans have been served up this year, it's probably more exactly what you'd expect than 'dreadful'. If (for example) we were where we now are, but all the wins had been at home, then the home fans would be a lot happier and be turning out in better numbers. Our home performances have been and continue to be THE worst thing. We couldn't be pis.sing off the home fans any more if we were doing it deliberately.

Same with us, we have won more away games. Our crowds are well below what we expect nowadays. Bradford should still average around 12,000.

Nearly 9000. But still poor. But then who can blame them, there is better things to do on a Sunday afternoon.
