8000 its ponty races same day

Just realised meself it clashes with that day, very unfortunate and will have a bearing on the attendance IMO. Racing there is a hugely popular event so it really is on the marketing team to sell this game to the public and persuade them to come to this rather than the races..

John KEar said if a massive crowd does not flock to Belle vue for this one then a crowd never will. I agree with him 5th v 6th derby game loads at stake. If there is less than 8000 there then we are a disgrace. It annoys me when people say its not on TV so it should bring more. If you are a fan of that team you should be there what ever like I was against St Helens not many gonna make the trip but I did and christ would not have swapped it for the World nothing like the atmosphere when we pull off a shock win in the away end. You don't get that on your armchairs. OH and if the weather is bad that is another excuse our fans seem to like to give I managed to drive to St Helens through utter crap friday, so a small trip to wakey and bring a brolli should not ditter you. Have some heart we need to pack it out Sunday we have had 2 fallen players and bad injuries and look where we are. 8000+ is what the boys deserve sort it out Wakefield Public !!!!!

:shock: I hope it is be well worth it and why not make a donation to the Watene fund in the entrance i.e. reduced to £16 and a pound to the fund

This already happened at the Cas v Wakey friendly earlier in the season. If people want to support the Fund on the day they can join the walk from Cas to Wakey, we are leaving Cas at 11am , stopping at Cas Panthers where Adams son Arana played at 11.30 then heading towards Normanton and over the Common. Everyone please feel free to join us , even if its only for a small section of the walk and show your support for the Fund and Adams memory.
In addition to the walk we have the Adam Watene Stall at every home game. Situated between the tea bar and the programme hut. We have wristbands, badges, keyring/bottle openers, beanie hats & tshirts on sale. Hope to see you there & thanks for all your support so far.

Surly next week with CAS and Wake recent form there will be near a full house expext 10 or 11k and with no TV should bring more there aswell.

Can not wait could be a cracker.

Could well be a crowd arround 10/11k, but a lot of the announced figures have seemed a lot lower than seemed to have actually been in so I wouldn't be surprised if we only announced 7.5k

Ponte races! Party in the park! Just goes to show why we have such poor attendances. Can't imagine anyone I know who supports the Trin preferring to go to either of these events. The Wakefield public will make any excuse for not attending games, it's pathetic.

little harsh the races attracts a lot of middle aged supporters who tend to make a day of it - but i would hope given the nature of this fixture it would cause the racecourse to fear that their attendances will be hit not the other way around.

Not harsh at all plenty of race days in the calendar that people can attend.
