Attendance was 2312 according to the League Express, who incidentally don't have an agenda. #whotobelieve

That's also what the Toulouse website gives it as.

Maybe 3603 is 2312's full name as detailed in all official documents?

Nevertheless good on Toulouse.

The figure announced was 2312 so where 3603 comes from God only knows. I reckon there must have been between 300-400 Bulls fans.

It doesn't matter

The figure of 3603 came from Michael "Mick" Gledhill, the outstanding Bradford commentator who was calling the game on BCB 106.6 FM radio with the accompanying commentary of Bradford luminary Robert Hunter-Paul. I heard "Mick" Gledhill's crowd announcement all the way over in Kiev, Ukraine. "Mick" must have misheard the official announcement of the crowd, or maybe the official announcement was initially wrong. Who knows? But if "Mick" Gledhill was mistaken, it was his only blemish in an otherwise extraordinarily exciting call of the game.

Utter crap. But keep posting it, you will be fine.

Yeah, I saw him and Robbie Paul at the game but the attendance was never put over the tannoy but as starbug say, it doesn't matter.

Re: Toulouse : Tue May 02, 2017 9:02 pm  

Mick makes up the attendance everyweek! Usually putting an extra thousand on his figure than what gets announced. Other week he got called out on it to which he replied "its an estimate" he's one of the biggest planks in the game. Has the nickname billy bull$h1t on our board. The Bulls players, fans and other RL journos think he's a joke.

The Bulls players, fans and other RL journos think he's a joke. That is interesting information. It jibes with the fact that "Mick" Gledhill's radio announced attendance figure for Toulouse vs Bradford was more than a thousand over the subsequently posted official figure. Gledhill's call of the game from Toulouse was very good, had plenty of excitement the way I like to hear games called. It made me sorry that I wasn't there. What a pity he is such a BS merchant as well. Note however from his Facebook page that his Facebook friends include Steve Mascord and Martyn Sadler, who must not know his techniques and overall reputation with Bradford fans. https://www.facebook.com/TheGameCaller

I'm pretty sure they do know, considering he used to post regularly on the TRL forum and people thought he was a joke on there too.
