bit disapointed with the turnout last night i no times are tough but were playing decent stuff and you cant help thinking with a massive promotions push we could increase our gates. i saw people last night whove not been before or for 20 year, weve got to keep pushing so come on wakefield lets get off our backsides and watch the club.

Yes, the attendance was the most disappointing thing about the match - 5,169 - only half the amount of the other three matches :( .

No wonder Sky never mentioned it once :SHHH:






"In fairness the Wildcats spluttered sporadically. When they were good they were very, very good and when they weren’t - they gave away penalties."

Almost on a par with our poorest crowd of last year (just over 5k V Harlequins) very dissapointing, although more hearting was we made twice the noise of last week, a lot better vocally.

The attendance was disappointing but the away support could have probably fit onto one coach. It was woeful. Poor show from a normally good away support.

Friday nights are not always the easiest games for people to get to and with the credit crunch now really kicking in, many may have decided to stay in, save a few quid and watch the game in the comfort of their own home which is understandable.

A few more performances like that from our boys and I'm sure the ground at BV will be close to bursting.






I don't care if we win, lose or draw as long as the team gives 100% every week and each player wears the shirt with pride.

It was a disgraceful attendance. Do not know what rugby fans of Wakefield want. The team are playing as well as can be expected in the face of such adversity, only one defeat.

The club need to market matches alot better than the trailers at either end of the city and the odd poster round town.

It does not take a genius to work out that the attendance would be lower due to tv, one off promotional prices should have been offered to attract more fans.

Warrington fans should hold their heads in shame the amount of fans they brought.

Does the club get money above and beyond the annual money from Sky as football teams do ? I know when they covered the football conference clubs got arond 5k to cover the cost of losing fans who stay at home and watch it on tv.

At the end of the day though if you have sky and are paying anywhere in the region of £30-55 a month by not going last night pays a good portion of that months bill.

I think its unfair to be over critical of the club. We're moving forward on and off the field. Games on TV always have an impact on crowd attendence, the away support was awful and let's not forget the difficult and challenging financial times we're now living in.

Over 5K for a Friday night live game on Sky isn't that bad IMHO, it could have been a lot worse.

I tried to balance my arguments and money is tight which was stated in my post.

Yes the club are trying after years of mismanagement off the field. I just think we accept second best in the marketing department.

The club plays at the highest level of proffessional Rugby League in this country and we live in and around quite a large city therefore i think just over five thousand fans is a disgrace. I go back to my earlier point

WHAT DO RUGBY LEAGUE FANS OF WAKEFIELD WANT ?

There are probably a few thousand former Wakey fans who grew up watching the team put in painfully inept performances for three decades and just drifted away. If the team continues to perform as it has done over the past 4 games maybe, just maybe, some will start to come back.

Given that the game with Catalan is one of the poorest attended in a season it would be good if club could come up with some initiative/offer to entice them down to BV for this match.

yeah we brought at least 1000

that leaves 4,000 wakey fans turning up for a home game

i think wakey should be the ones holding their heads in shame
