Another home game with a relatively local team. £10 per ticket for away fans. Good weather.

Why aren’t away fans coming to Wakefield in any reasonable number?

Every team we have faced has brought a very poor following except Bulls that was fairly decent (though still not as much as I thought).

Is it that rival club fans are writing their chances off perhaps.

I’m not sure but I really thought Batley would bring a few hundred at least today.

I'm not sure they are bringing any less than they do to other away games.

Maybe so, perhaps I have to adjust my expectations but at a good ticket price I expected more that’s all.

It's not just away fans, home gates at many Championship clubs have slumped alarmingly since the new IMG system was installed and promotion was taken out of the equation.

Probably like our away fans were when I was stood at Saints a few years ago with around 30 other fans watching us get a lesson in Rugby . Times are tough and a hiding to nowhere isn’t everyone’s cup of tea
