What's the crowd going to be AB? ?

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fWVsQBzqiks&sns=em The Knights third try by Harris was simply stunning. Two outrageous dummies and a burst of speed that left the defence chasing shadows. I could watch it over and over again. ?

Congratulations AB. Your forecast of 2,450 makes you the winner!!!

Agree

The beard suits you Simon!

Not seen the official figure but would estimate around 2,350. The main stand was nearly full ( a few single seats were spare) and it holds just shy of 2,000. Reckon on about 500 in the David Longhurst.

What a brilliant game and fantastic atmosphere from the start. At 18-0 I was relatively confident but two early second half tries put the Wolfpack in the accedancy. At that point there only looked to be one winner, but the Knights dug deep and kept the full timers at bay to register an amazing win that will live long in the memory. Up the Kneets!

Got my ticket, just now, online through eventbrite. Confirmation on my phone.

Just enough to fit my 4,758 in! ?

Here we go then, predictions for the crowd a week today. I thought a few days ago it would be difficult to call but I have spent the last half hour or so getting a feel for the level of interest and publicity videos posted on line and was really taken aback. Barry Mac, big Jamie Peacock and Paul Sculthorpe for starters plus all of York's amateur clubs. There is a real buzz around the place and the three deadline day signings have added to that further. Maybe just maybe we can upset the odds. And it we do, you'd be daft not to witness it first hand. So, getting back to my prediction, I think we'll surpass the 2,300 for the CC match against Acorn last year but by how much? Well, the last time we played a really big match at BC it was Leeds in the CC (late 80's I think) and there were over 10,000 there. Crowd restrictions mean that we won't get near that on Sunday, and Toronto won't bring as many as the Loiners, but I'm still predicting we are going big. I think we'll surpass City's biggest attendance of the season of 4,091, and go close to the 5,000 mark. So my prediction is 4,758! If I'm there or thereabouts, what an atmosphere this promises to be.

Great news! The way our crowds are increasing will 8,005 be enough? ?

Really impressed by the recruitment - shows that the club are doing their very best to build the Knights into a force to be reckoned with. We are certainly developing into a BIG side - can't see too many sides getting the better of us physically. The game against the Wolfpack is fast turning into one that Knights fans young and old can not afford to miss. We have broken through the thousand barrier several times this season but I feel that will be nothing compared to the numbers that will flood though the gates a week on Sunday - and kids under 16 get in free too I see. Another master stroke, for encouraging the next generation of Knights fans. So come on Knights fans get yourself to BC on 30 July and bring your scarves, flags and drums and let's turn BC into a fortress and make the place rock! Up the Knights!
