Does this mean that with the Skircoat stand reserved for Bradford fans that BBC will now be in the North Stand or a in that bit of a shed near the steps from south stand to skircoat stand?

the north stand will be closed as the bbc building there box there,the Skircoat stand will be open, giving us room for 9,000 fans,all the north stand needs is some toilets putting up there then we could then have a 10,000 + fans in the ground

Cant believe we have to close the north stand because of a portacabin sized box. For the first time in years we have the potential to fill all 4 sides and we can't.

Good news, will it be a sell out at 9000 then? Will be great to show the RFL that Fax can put on a great SL standard show.

Just a thought!
How many of us in the 9000?
How many of them?

who cares if its a sellout.

If you say the average attendance at the Shay is 2500, and everyone can try push to bring along a +1 that would make 5000 FAX, the rest Bulls. The atmosphere will be electric with a sell out, and those +1s would want to come back again. Big ask to sell out with the majority been Fax but damn worth a try I'd say!! All the best, I'll be there

My guess is a 4,500 crowd.

Nah, our lot will turn out for this one at least 3500 Fax fans maybe 4000 or even 4500 tops and they get in free don't forget so I would guess 7500 or 8000 crowd.

wish i had your positive view

I'd be dissapointed if there was anything less than 7000
