there was under 2,400 Cas fans i was told that approx half an hour after the match ended.
the capacity of the stand was reduced because there was netting on some of the seats so the capacity of the stand on sunday was under 3,500 and none of the blocks were totally full

If that stand we were in holds 4000, then maybe I'd say 2500-2700 Cas fans. There were quite a few empty seats in each front corner, the netted off areas and there were a fair few empty seats scattered amongst the crowd. I know this because there were 4 empty seats behind me and 2 in front of me.

As Daz said though, the Huddersfield fans and club will know their turnout was poor whether they had 3000 or 4000 (which is essentially the argument here) at the game.

Let's not turn this into a pointless debate. The fact remains, we took a lot of very vocal supporters to a game that many would have chosen not to bother with due to TV coverage and we should be proud of that. We sang our hearts out for 80 minutes. Let's think positive.

spot on mate ,well said - instead of picking fault with our support some Cas fans need to be praising there's - i have - and looking forward to the rest of the season

I've only just realised that all 3 of the coaches in your sig pic were at the game yesterday.

and not one of them moaned about us

cracking support yesterday from you lot, was disappointed with our turnout if i'm honest, im damn sure they'd turn out for the final should we get there




however your support will be totally eclipsed on friday night when hull kr will fill 3 out of the 4 stands.... no honestly they will..... stop laughing

I hope you have a big screen set up outside for the ones that can't get in.

It looked brilliant on tv, thats what it should be like every game, from what I have seen this season of Cas fans at our place, hudds and Hull, they can surely be up there with Wigan, Saints, Leeds, Hull KR, Hull FC, Warrington for good numbers of away fans.

I hope the Huddersfield tourism board are prepared for the sheer bulk of visitors. I reckon there'll be more Rovers fans in Huddersfield than Brits in Benidorm.

were even opening up Mirfield to accomodate them all - there will be 100 big screens set up between Huddersfield and Mirfield for them

Just about spot on there mate. When we looked across to the Cas stand we could see plenty of empty seats among the crowd, but anyone in that stand would think it was pretty full. But the attendance was pretty much how it is for the cup at present, take Wigan they had less than 10000 for theirs which is way down.

That`s the problem with BBC having it live plus the fact it was a great day weather wise and a lot of wives and kids probably went off for the day.

But the Cas support was the best so far this season beating Saints Leeds Hull. Well done Cas.

Hull KR havnt been to town yet

neitherhave Wigan.
