your bleedin jokin mate...if people pay their money they can boo if they want...people say you should get behind the team..theyr'e right with a bloody big box of dynamite or something ..they were awfull again .so you think they should clap and say ..*well played chaps*..the saints cant do no wrong society on here make me smile.....and as for potter he couldnt coach a bleedin infant school's rugby team...a side whose top of the league struggling against nearly an a-team on there own ground its embarrasing..at least we kept one thing going..missed goal kicks again...anyway well done chaps for that e peformance ..ill have to go now i feel a boo coming on...

One of their players pretended to be injured in front of the sticks when they were supposed to be kicking their goal line dropout and the ref didn't stop the clock straight away. Injury clearly pretend because once ref had stopped clock he jogged away no probs. I stand towards the away end so watched what went on and joined in with booing the Hudds players who were clearly playing for time.

They do like their negative games, do Hudds.

I don't agree with the booing at all as it simply isn't helpful and is disresectful after the glory and the entertainment that the team have provided for years and years.

However what was disgraceful again, from a club on the crest of a wave was your woeful travelling attendance. I bet there was 100 of you if that. Shameful, if you can't get your backsides over the pennines to support your team a week before the cup final then it's time to pack in.

Yes I am aware it was a much weakened team but all the more reason to turn up and support them. Especially as 'your kids' nearly did the business and yet again we showed we are badly out of sorts and vulnerable.

Well played last night, top performance from your guys, but a woeful turnout as always.

And there was a massive turn out from the Saints fans was there?

and there lies your answer - i would imagine that a week before the cup final that would be people's financial priority...i'm out of work so it is definitely mine.
to be fair though 8,000 for a team with the success Saints have had is quite frankly an embarrasment too, imagine how the players must feel when year after year they bring trophies back and only 8,000 can be bothered to turn up and watch them.

Slightly better than previous years actually against Hudds, so jog on.

2008 8,597
2007 7,771
2006 8,378

Last night 8708

The same Pennines that we travel over regularly to the Galpharm and fill one whole stand behind the sticks. You think St Helens is anymore affluent than Hudds???? Why?

I'm not slagging your home support on this occasion! I don't think half the population of Huddersfield know there way to the M62.

I didn't expect Hudds to bring many more than they did to be fair. I think the "week before Wembley" point is a very valid one really if people have to chose between a trip to a league game and a trip to watch there team in the cup final its hardly likely to be a tough call for most!

but compare the fortunes of the 2 clubs over the last 30/40 years - there is no comparison.
We also have to compete with a football team with 12,000 fans for people from our town to watch us.
i am as dissapointed as anyone that our away crowds aren't better, i would love to see more giants fans at away games but till we win things it wont happen !!

To be fair to the hudds fans last night, they have a final to pay for and hudds were very honest in saying around 10 first teamers would be out. I can't say i'd have gone to leeds if we were in the same boat.

The only "booing" i'll be doing is at our own fans for booing the team off

I'm just doing some quality fishing here and letting off some steam after a woeful performance. I've caught a whopper as well.

The fact is that at least he admits that there away support is poor at best. But considering the year they are having it really should be better. It may not last but it's quite likely that Hudds are here to stay as a top 3/4 side if not better. They have quality personnel and youth and speed in abundance.

But we'll have most of our players back so it should be a cracker, and we don't have to pay for wembley the week after like hudds fans, just saying i can understand is all.

Bloody hell, what's with some of the uber-fans on here?

Everyone has paid the same to get in, they are paying customers and its up to them whether to boo or not. If you don't want to boo, then don't. It's not for you to be lecturing others on what they should be doing.

Their £18, their business.
