Lupset Ram Posted March 3, 2015 Share Posted March 3, 2015 It's just over a month until we play the Bulls and I've noticed that in the two away games they've had against Leigh and Featherstone so far that the gates for the matches have probably been the biggest league game attendances that those clubs have had in years.If we go in to the Bulls game with some good form, the weather is kind, the game is well promoted and Bradford bring a good following, then this could be our biggest league game attendance in years.What do other people think?

Monkbar Posted March 3, 2015 Share Posted March 3, 2015 I wouldn't be surprised if it's made all ticket. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andyram Posted March 4, 2015 Share Posted March 4, 2015 One or two things to consider for our game with the Bulls,one - with it being on a Easter Monday people are mostly off work,that could bring more fans to the game,two-the weather,hopefully it will be a nice dry day.My conservative view is the Bulls should bring a minimum of around 2000,our fans say 1300.That would be more then the Wigan cup game,which was all ticket,has our capacity increased since the development work?We should have a better idea how many Bulls fans turn up when they visit our doggies friends at the end of the month.

RogerT Posted March 4, 2015 Share Posted March 4, 2015 I asked his question on the Featherstone site and got the answer of about 2 to 2 1/2 thousand. Cheers Roger. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The ground capacity hasn't increased since the development work so remains around the 4000 mark. I can't see the attendance exceeding this by any means so no need to make it all ticket, in my view. Extra turnstiles will definitely be required however and the Bailey bar might get a bit full too. .

Blind side johnny Posted March 4, 2015 Share Posted March 4, 2015 Thought turnstiles was going to be installed around the new development work been done? Possibly. I meant that we will need to open all of the existing ones, which we don't normally do for league games.

Shipley Ram Posted March 4, 2015 Share Posted March 4, 2015 I think Bulls will bring around the 3000 mark. There was over 6000 at Fev and i cant imagine there was over 3000 home fans there RUGBY LEAGUE IS MY RELIGION. CROWN FLATT IS MY CHURCH. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There was over 6000 at Fev and i cant imagine there was over 3000 home fans there Maybe but the Easter weekend also offers other distractions. If we get a 3000 gate that would be excellent in reality. Sport, amongst other things, is a dream-world offering escape from harsh reality and the disturbing prospect of change.

NickD Posted March 6, 2015 Share Posted March 6, 2015 Would be delighted with 3000. Sounds good on paper having the match on Easter Monday but as BSJ points out Easter sees the start of the many distractions that plague summer rugby and lower gates.

EQUALIZER Posted March 11, 2015 Share Posted March 11, 2015 This Sunday Batley fans have been told to turn up early.Good call its amazing how lost 500 can look in a crowd of 5000. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kelsey The Ram Posted March 13, 2015 Share Posted March 13, 2015 I can imagine there would be at least 3000 there, promote it enough and we can easily get that and more. hoping for a bit of atmosphere at that game "Are you tryin' to mug me off in front of my pals?"

Blind side johnny Posted March 15, 2015 Share Posted March 15, 2015 Judging by the gate at Batley today I don't think we should get too excited. 2800 tops I reckon.

Blind side johnny Posted March 15, 2015 Share Posted March 15, 2015 4000 there Shoosh Not misreporting attendance figures surely 9'O. I thought only Dewsbury did that, at least according to previous claims on your forum. Still I guess you'll need to pay for your new half back somehow, won't you?
