Hope all the Bulls fans that missed the match feel so guilty they go down to Belle Vue on Monday

And Huddersfield fans don't have any jokes they didn't steal from Halifax.

Bradford used to average 15k. Now they can't even get that for their biggest game of the year. Wow they have fallen from grace spectacularly.

Just for the record, since this is probably one of the only times I'll get to say this, Hull FC have the biggest average attendance in SL with 17,039, with not one crowd below 14k so far. Although I expect that to drop unless somehow we manage to stuff Saints away on Monday!

How far would you attribute those massive Hull crowds to early season success, how far to a hatred of the odious and rightly reviled Hull KR, how far to the rise of Tom Briscoe, and how far to the quality of the Hull FC website?

the stadium has a lot to do with it espec when its freezing and raining and playing as bad as we have done for a decade if we had a ground like wigan or hull we would get bigger crowds.

Just realised slstats.org missed out the Hull vs Catalans attendance, so the average is 15,900. Still the largest, though.

Our crowds have grown with the presence of KR most certainly.
And they are slightly higher most likely due to our run of form (the game against Wigan being because it was our first of the season).

You having a laugh, right? I doubt very few people go to the rugby because the club has a good website!

Oh really?

Did Bradford have a different ground back when they got to 5 Grand Finals on the bounce?

Playing bad for a decade – what about the 5 Grand Finals on the bounce?

Why not do what the missing Bulls fans do.
