Not the best attendance, but after such an impressive performance on sky the next few should pick up considerably. Saints and Wire at home are still to come and will both be big gates, hopefully saints dont make the cc final as not many will bother to make the trip to Wrexham the week before if they do.
People love watching a winning team, once the teams hits form and picks up a few wins crowds will improve. I know they are starting from a much higher level but Bradford's home crowds have plumetted the last few seasons to illustrate my point. I think crowds will improve and stabalise at about 3,500 for the rest of this season. It's next year when the hard work needs to be put in to keep the momentum and interest going. The RFL has got to get kids playing the game in the area.

Agree. Personally I would hope for somewhere between 4 - 5,000.

You obviously don't know about Saints very good away following then do you.
It won't make any difference if Saints are at Wembley a week later,they have a very dedicated set of away fans and i reckon at least 2,000.

Of course it will you tool, there may be some that are very dedicated and will go regardless, but if theres the expensive trip to London the following week not many casual supporters will bother.

Who do you think you are calling me a tool you should look in the mirror mate.
Anyway i will confidently say Saints will take at least 2,000.

No need to be rude.
Wrexham is just around the corner for us, as it is for the Pies and Warrington. It won't make a bit of difference to our finances and therefore our turnout at Wrexham if we are in the CC cup. It is very likely that 2000 is not an unreasonable number to expect from us. This might well increase if it is a sunny day. It might increase even further if we by some miracle start to perform well on a consistent basis!
