Bradford Bulls expect to pull in another 20,000-plus crowd for the clash with title rivals Wigan tomorrow after reaching another attendance milestone.

The club already holds the Super League record for their 24,020 crowd in the home derby with Leeds last year and after Sunday's thrashing of Salford Reds they have become the first side in the competition to break the 100,000 barrier for Super League V.

In just 16 games 111, 359 spectators have flooded Odsal and that figure is expected to rise sharply after the visit of the Warriors, whose own home crowd record was smashed when the two sides last went head to head in the 12-12 draw at the JJB Stadium earlier this month.

Bulls chairman Chris Caisley said he expected to break the 20,000 barrier for only the third time in the history of summer rugby after also playing in front of 21,666 people at Headingley last season.

"These games are very special occasions and the atmosphere is electrifying. Sporting events like these don't happen too often and when they do people turn out in force," he said.

"People have said that the game at Wigan was one of the best they have seen in Super League. There's a lot at stake again in this game so the match could be just as exciting.

"The viewing figures for that game were exceptionally good - probably the best ever - and that leads you to believe that they will be again this week.

"We have not had so much demand for tickets for a league game since we recorded the 24,000 figure against Leeds last year.

"I'm sure that the result of last weekend's game didn't do a lot to back up the view that the competition was the best ever but the rest of the games over the weekend were a close-run thing and a huge crowd for a high-profile match like this should put the game back on a firm footing."

And Caisley added that a large show of support for the home side could be enough to give them the edge in the title arm wrestle.

"The crowd has a massive effect on the team and I know just how much the players love playing at Odsal and how much they value that sort of fanatical support for these big games," he said.

"Whoever wins this will be on top of the table and whoever does that will take some shifting so we are asking the fans to get behind us once more."
