It's going to be a tricky sell for the football club, as most people will support Leeds or Barnsley already, but there must be plenty of people who "support" their club via Sky TV and might like the idea of a cheap and handy alternative. Or those people who haven't grown up in Wakefield and can't get to their preferred club. It would be great if it takes off, if just for the increased income for the rugby, and their shirts are pretty smart.
There is the other side too, and that's people getting off their backsides and watching sport. It is a habit that is easy to get out of. I wonder how many people will dip into rugby once they regard Belle Vue as their home football ground.
I think if there is to be some sort of offer. Free entry for Trinity season ticket holders for the season. Then you could certainly see the Wakefield FC attendance rise a few hundred over the course of the season from Trinity fans alone. If done right then I can see Wakefield FC thriving at Belle vue. It may however take time. Realistically the club need to be aiming to be hitting attendances over over 1000 short term and 1500-2000 medium term (3-5 years).
