Look, we know how many fans come from other clubs. This is because we can see them. And comparatively very few come from Huddersfield. I had sort of assumed that now you are top-end of the league, the away support would significantly increase, but it hasn't. Only Catalans and London bring significantly fewer than you do, and given how close Huddersfield is, that seems remarkable.

In terms of our away following to your place, of your top 35 home gates in SL, Bradford have accounted for 11 of them, far more than any other club.

In contrast, in our list of biggest home gates, the very first time Huddersfield features is at no. 57, so cut your bullcrap and face the facts.

How could you see them? For one due to the weather most people had their shirts covered so from my view in the stand you couldn't tell who was who-the other thing is unlike many others we don't go in what you class as the "away" end when we come to odsal- we tend to spread out all over. You sent us just 500 tickets- people had to be turned away from our ticket office because we sold out of them -FACT. Many had to pay on the day. personally given the terrible conditions I think 700-800 is a very reasonable following. No we don't have the best following in the league- wire, Wigan, Leeds hull and saints are above us. Given Bradford has double the population of Huddersfield either you are doing badly or we are doing well!

FA is Thierry Halibut for those new to this forum. He sees everything.

No, I'm not. Well, no sillier than I do normally...

And, like Halibut, maybe counting is not his forté which is why he became a lawyer not an accountant...?

Well, I sort of look ahead of me.


Didn't you notice that they tend to clap and jump up and down and stuff at directly opposing things? What did I miss?

Well I sit directly opposite those two blocks, in the stand. IMO it was around 50/50 at the most, judging by whose umbrellas flew up in the air at various times in response to what. Couple of tight-knit groups, most round the edges were Bulls.

But who gives a toss anyway about a pìssing contest about whose supporters are the most "true", and how many turn up? There are no bonus points for how many speccies your team has in the ground. Just as well, since if you did HKR would be runaway leaders every year, with the competition already sewn up by early March...

Or maybe it was six? Or seven...?

Mmm, it does fluctuate that exchange rate doesn't it!!

As does Hallibut's tackle count, which given your reference to five (euros) was rather more what I had in mind!

From where I was sat I definitely coudn't see more Giants fans than Bulls in that area.

Be surprised if you could from your settee...
