Well done. Let's resurrect this thread in three weeks time when we see how many of those 9121 are happy to pay £25 for the visit of Hull (a team with good away support). Albeit we find it difficult to compare to previous games as the Giants don't seem to want to advertise their attendance figures?

Most of the extra fans were made up of families. Just where are the vast majority of them going to find £75+ in todays current financial climate?

I also hope Fax can try something similar with the support of their commercial partners against Toulouse as we will need that '14th' man for what the RFL are going to throw at us to keep Toulouse up there.

How lucky to have Ken Davy paying for all those freebies and a clever way to get your average attendances up!
Why would we want to go to watch a club who are a threat to us, you poach fans and players from this area yet you cannot get enough fans to watch you so stop trying to steal ours!

Spot on. How embarrassing for the Huddersfield club.

oh dear, first you say wont get more than 3k and we get over 9k now finding other things!

yes indeed dont expect anywhere near 9k for the next home game.

against hull fc, on sky sports and a thursday night will put many off.. over 5k for sure though

What did batley get yesterday as was also free entry

2328.

Sad state for the game having to offer free entry to be frank .

yes

I don't think he was advertising the game. I think he was making people aware of the next stage of marketing. I'm sure it'll be a tenner for the next game. 4000 fans on a mailing list. Maybe LS28, rather than fund a player not necessarily needed, could have covered entry fees v Toulouse to try and hook a good Halifax turnout to future games. 14th man v Toulouse required, because the RFL will appoint the appropriate 'officials'

Jeffvickers, I don t usually agree with your view, however this time I do think you make a good point. although coming to the business end of the year the team does need strength in depth and quality never does any harm.

Does make my previous remark (on another thread) about teams signing players for the playoffs seem rather moot! Before any one reminds me of the post!!!!

I don't know why the french lad needs adding to the squad in all honesty. Its not like we have an injury crisis. Unless Butlers due to move on
