Bradford Bulls are still the best supported club in Super League despite their disappointing season.

Even though they have experienced a series of defeats and setbacks they have managed an average gate of 13,218 for every match at Odsal.

And while the figure is down around 2,000 on last season's glorious championship winning campaign, it is still the envy of their rivals.

Second placed Leeds (12,152) and table-topping Wigan (10,609) are the next best supported clubs but cannot match the pulling power of the Bulls who hope to maintain their average in Sunday's final home game of the season against Salford.

Bulls media manager Stuart Duffy says: "The crowds at Odsal have been fantastic this season. Despite the fact that we have been running fifth for most of the season and have had a disappointing campaign by our own standards, the supporters have shown tremendous loyalty.

"We are hoping to maintain the same level of attendance for Sunday's final home match when skipper Graeme Bradley will be making his last appearance at Odsal before retiring."
