I actually thought Halifax would bring more fans to Bolton than they did given it was their biggest game in 30 years.
What is their current average home crowd?
I don't know the current average, but it will start with a "1" followed by 3 digits. There's latent support in the town, but we need success on the field to build more support. Tbh, it probably didn't help the "casual" Fax fans to attend given the assumption that we'd get smashed by Saints. The location and lack of parking didn't help either, but probably wouldn't have affected the attendance.
As was noted on TV, 5 minutes from the end, you'd have thought that Fax had won and Saints lost looking at the crowd. All the noise in the last 10 minutes (ref: "twist and shout") was from the Fax fans, less in number but far greater in volume.
