Fan power can inspire the Bulls to Grand Final glory this season. That is the view of chairman Chris Caisley, who has saluted their magnificent support.

And he is now urging supporters to give the Bulls a final push as their quest for double success gathers pace.

The second biggest crowd in Super League this season was at Odsal on May 23, as 21,784 packed in to see the 48-22 mauling of Leeds.

And Caisley is hopeful that crowds at Odsal for the last three home games will each top 20,000 - starting on Saturday with the crucial clash against fifth-placed Hull.

He said: "We certainly think it's achievable. Hull had 19,539 during our victory at the KC Stadium and it was their record crowd in Super League. Hopefully we can better that on Saturday when they come here.

"With Hull desperate to win and ensure their place in the play-offs, they should bring around three or four thousand fans with them."

Caisley also believes that the current Super League attendance record will soon come under serious threat - held by the Bulls when 24,040 flocked to Odsal to witness a memorable 19-18 victory against Leeds on September 3, 1999.

Leeds came close to breaking that figure against the Bulls at Headingley last Friday when 23,035 attended - the highest Super League gate this season.

But with capacity at Odsal now around 25,500 and Leeds and Castleford set to follow Hull's visit, that record could yet be eclipsed.

The backing given to Brian Noble's men has once again outweighed that of rival clubs. The Bulls' average Super League gate is currently 14,857, while Leeds lie second with 12,713 and Hull third on 11,348.

Indeed, rugby league itself is enjoying an attendance boom, with Super League matches having attracted a record-equalling total of 38 attendances of 10,000 or more.

The Bulls Senior Academy side play a must-win final league game of the season at Odsal tonight (7.30) when they take on Castleford. The Bulls lie joint top in the table with Wigan, who have a game in hand.
