They will bring more than they do for a Friday game, thats a FACT.

They will but I'm struggling to think of a match over the last half decade or so that we drew 16k to a Bradford Bulls game.

14k IMO would be the absolute maximum we will draw at the moment.

Well I didnt renew due to the fact it was an extra £140 for my family season ticket this year, so I have decided to pay on the day.

There is a problem with doing this though and that is when you look at the fixtures eg Cas at home on Friday and you have to pay £52 for the family you think to yourself sod it I cant afford that plus this is not entertainment ant more so I will stay in have a few beers and watch the match on sky !!

I agree. Bradford are not an exciting prospect, simply because they're Bradford. Like Huddersfield, no one really cares about them, except their own fans of course.

Leeds, yes. They're the best side. Saints for obvious reasons. Wire because they hate us. Bradford? They can bang on all they like about their marketing, and they did have a good few seasons, but they're still viewed as a dour mid-table fat propped side who play in a dour, cold, wet mudbath ex-quarry. And their support is shiite.

Being on Sky will reduce the travelling numbers and the 'walk up', the pubs in and around Wigan/Bradford will be busy especially if the weathers poor.

With a top 2 finish not even thinkable now, and no relegation to keep the excitement near the bottom, id say our average this season will turn out to be very dissapointing.
