I think the majority were put off by York.
The attendance on Saturday was 3700 even less on Sunday
So say around 6-7000 making it the lowest ever. Leeds last year was less than 10000. Blackpool was 14-15000
It needs to go back to Blackpool or be cancelled

Yes I agree with this although I did go and the fans made the most of it but it didn’t feel like a Summer Bash event. More like just another regular away game in which we played Keighley instead of York.

Never been a huge fan of the system with the amount of losses we’ve suffered and the random impact on the league standings depending on who you get to play but if they want it to work it needs to be treated like an event and marketed like one.

Fantastic result and fantastic effort from that fans that actually went.
Just goes to show how far we have fallen from taking a few thousand to previous bash events to a few hundred this time round. Barely filled 2 blocks in the smallest stand in the ground.

To be fair I think a lot of fans who might have been tempted to go were still too traumatised by the humiliation suffered at Cougar Park to ruin their Bank Holiday Weekend. Pity as it would have been a good day out in the end.

Regardless of if it was a Summer Bash or not, its 300 fans for an away game just over an hour away. It shows where we are as a club, its now a myth that we have a good away following.

500 I think. Looked like 400 in North stand and maybe 100 scattered through the East stand

Not meaning to sound pedantic but to provide some context,
that north stand only holds 878 and it wasnt anywhere near half full.
