I thought the crowd figure was accurate tonight taking into consideration the lack of support from the wolves

I thought it was probably exagerated there was a hell of a lot of space on the terracing on the popular side.

Even more so after 60 mins. As for there being 8000, if this keeps on the board will be dreaming of getting 8000. Anybody backing the OSV should hang fore a bit.

So much for our 'loyal' fans eh?

With around 7.5k home support, we can expect to be staying in the bottom half of the table for the foreseeable future. If the Bulls are to stand any chance of getting out of this mess, they need the fans to continue to support the club.

Shame on you 'glory fans'.

The age old joke about the Leeds/Bradford reversable shirt comes to mind... except neither team is in good form! What to do?

When the board seem unable to make changes it was obvious the crowds would drop.

Oh well, the club doesn't have any money anyway apparently even if crowds went up a bit, so lets just deal with being in a fudging mess for a fair amount of time.

That is the situation spot on..No money...no wealthy investor and therefore if mistakes have been made then harder and longer to correct...To be fair,Hood has never had the cash needed for progress and he has admitted as much..Problem is there is no one waiting in the wings who would move things on either.The Club is staying alive mainly on its' support and as things are going from bad to worse,this becomes a major worry for the business.I can see the Club going out of business if this trend continues.Brave men all.

8,000 there... not bad considering.

I think we're down now to our core support, season ticket holders mainly. A couple of away fixtures and a bye week before we face Celtic on 17th May. The crowd for that match will be interesting to say the least and no doubt will be at the exercising the minds of the Board.

Very true. But it does beg the question whether Salford, Hull KR, Cas, Catalans, Wakefield, Quins & Hudds who are all above us in the league have more money to spend on their squads than we do.

Some of our problems surely must be down to the way we are spending the money?

The ultimate irony for me watching the SKY coverage, was listening to Iestyn Harris the man whose signing has effectively destroyed your club, giving his "expert" opinions. I'd like to have heard him say "well they were pretty good before I signed".
