If you make deserters your target audience, you've no right to be disappointed when they desert again.

It is.
Hull FC grew there crowds year on year upon entry to SL (not far different from our Divsion 1 attendances). Hull KR's all jumped on the bandwagon as soon as they got into SL.

Hope that helps

Not true, your average in 2002 was 6,928 but in 2003 it was 11,601 an increase of 59%, which would indicate bandwagon increases the same as most clubs when improvements on the pitch are made (or off it in the form of moving to the KC).

I believe we (Bradford) were losing crowds even when we were going through the successful years. That is down to boring rugby and Odsal - Odsal we hope is now getting rebuilt in the coming years.

Heard that one before

Odsal is a major achilles heel for Bradford though, No matter what success Bradford have the fact that basic facillities are limited will put families off. a bit of Rain and there is no shelter whatsoever from the elements unless your in the Seated Area.

That said, when those figures were taken/ Weren't the Bulls at VP?

The interesting one for me, apart from the fact that I support Trinity, is Wakefields increased attendance.

Wakefields crowds have grown without the need to give away free tickets but more significantly without a modern stadium.

When Trinity can offer fans (home and away) a better match day experience there could be some serious growth in the crowds just as there were at Hull and Warrington.
