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?
No, 2001 and 2002 were at VP. 2000 was the year before.

So, lets get this right, Hull get wolloped in the playoffs by Leeds in 2002, fail to make the play offs in 2003 yet these extra fans are band wagon jumpers

nothing......HTH What a lot of people do not appreciate is the size of London compared to your provincial little outposts. We also have teams that play football in something called "the premiership" as well as other leagues beneath that. Then again, we have some other guys who kick a ball shaped like a rugby league ball and they are quite popular too, having actually won something at an international level recently. Then their is the rest of the stuff on offer....compared to say...CASTLEFORD
Google things to do in London on a saturday and you get 6,240,000 options...try CASTLEFORD Still it's nice to know that franchise points for attendance = 1 HTH

40%+ of the ground capacity being full on average

I know of many who never set foot in Boulevard and jumped on the shiny new stadium bandwagon, not a criticism, we all have them. It was the inference that the attendances were built on gradually I was responding to.
