From memory our best average attendances during the 80's hovered around the 8,000 mark. Very rarely did we break the 10,000 barrier (officially). Bradford's crowds weren't much better i think - very similar.

Season-Halifax- Bradford

1976/77- 1,419 - 4,669
1977/78- 1,339 - 7,236
1978/79- 2,314 - 5,651
1979/80- 2,969- 6,236
1980/81 - 4,090- 6,105
1981/82 - 2,818- 5,816
1982/83 - 2,270- 4,920
Seasons 1983/84 to 1985/86 - don't know!
1986/87 - 4,891- 4,312
1987/88 - 6,521- 4,723
1988/89 - 8,022 - 4,969
1989/90 - 5,921- 5,584
1990/91 - 4,458 - 5,274
1991/92 - 7,181- 4,725
1992/93 - 6,452 - 5,082
1993/94 - 6,608 - 6,513
1994/95 - 5,600 - 5,654

Interesting to note that our highest average attendance in 88/89 was when we got relegated. And we averaged more than 1st divivion Bradford in 89/90 when we were in the 2nd division. I will endeavour to find the missing 80s.

Blimey - i did actually think that Bradford's was higher than those in your list Tony. Bullmania obviously worked in the late 90's then.

Thr Bradford public only ever seemed to turn up for the big matches in them days. They used to get some shocking crowds for mid week games in the middle of winter.

Odsal Stadium wasn't (and still isn't) the most inviting place to visit during the winter months. :D
