Toronto were drawn at home, but are playing their cup games away. |

As a certain shudds fan is quick to point out they are unbeaten away from home, so it's surprising they lost last night, maybe it was a bit confusing for them. |

Indeed and Huddersfield went from beating the reigning champions on their own patch to a complete shambles of a performance.
Having said that, Toronto defended very well and fully deserved their win.
You have to assume that after their win at the weekend, Huddersfield must have just expected to turn up to make progress in the cup.
They were wrong.

You dont have to be a Wakefield fan to spot the gap in the crowd
And, no they dont

Wakefield, have got less fans than Huddersfield over the last 25 years.
So why do you feel the need to mock?
They've also got a far better ground than Wakefield and have also been more successful on the field than Wakefield.
As i say, you're a strange bunch you lot! |

I'd be mighty interested in the numbers over the last 25 years - I think you have just made that one up 
The comments were passed purely because of how empty the ground looked - or should we keep quiet and hope that nobody noticed.
Not helped by the lack of away fans, although in mitigation, it's a long way to come (from Toronto) on a Wednesday evening.

I'd be mighty interested to know what gives a Wakefield specie the authority to have a pop at any team? Ground made from tin and scaffolding poles with a block of port-a-cabins for a corporate area. A p1$$ poor team whos last 'major achievement' was a Division 2 title in 1998...
Don't get hung up on it Poor lad! Wakey fans have nothing to cheer about so have to get their kicks in another way. If the best they can do to in order to feel superior to Huddersfield is to argue they have bigger crowd, then let him have it. It's all they'got

So you're judging Huddersfield's crowds by how many empty seats there are as opposed to how many people are in the ground watching the game?
If Huddersfield played at Wakefield's run down little stadium, would your judgement still be the same?
The relative average crowds between Wakefield and Huddersfield, and relative league positions.
2019 WAK 9th (5,29icon_cool.gif HUD 10th (5,099)
2018 WAK 7th (5,216) HUD 5th (5,24icon_cool.gif

2015 WAK 12th wooden spoon (4,083) HUD 5th (5,873)
2014 WAK 12th (5,940) HUD 3rd (7,789)
2013 WAK 11th (7,07icon_cool.gif HUD 1st LLS Winner (6,733)
2012 WAK 8th (8,172) HUD 7th (7,02icon_cool.gif
2011 WAK 13th (6,555) HUD 4th (6,99icon_cool.gif

2009 WAK 5th (5,626) HUD 3rd (7,267)
2008 WAK 8th (7,12icon_cool.gif HUD 10th (7,820)
2007 WAK 8th (6,287) HUD 6th (6,730)
2006 WAK 10th (5,173) HUD 9th (6,141)
2005 WAK 10th (5,085) HUD 8th (5,499)
2004 WAK 6th (4,814) HUD 7th (4,110)
2003 WAK 11th (3,936) HUD 10th (4,750)
Since Huddersfield were promoted to SL in 2003 they have averaged a higher home crowd than Wakefield in 12 out of 17 seasons and that was including the "Glover years" when it widely thought, even by their own fans that their crowds were being "massaged" somewhat.
In the 17 seasons since Huddersfield won promotion to super league they have also finished higher than Wakefield in 11 of those seasons, reached 2 challenge cup finals and 2 play off semi finals.
Since 1996 Wakefield have accrued 419 points in regular round games, Huddersfield have accrued 498.
Wakefield have won 2 league titles to Huddersfield's 7
Wakefield have won 5 challenge cups, Huddersfield, 6
Wakefield have never won a "double", Huddersfield have done it twice
Wakefield have never won a "treble", Huddersfield have done it twice
Wakefield have never won "all 4 cups", Huddersfield were the second team to do it.
Wakefield have had points deducted twice in the SL era, one for a breach of salary cap, one for going into administration, Huddersfield have never breached the salary cap or gone into administration.
Wakefield's highest SL attendance was 11,00, Huddersfield's is 15,629
So i ask again, how do Wakefield fans have the nerve to mock other clubs and their support, especially Huddersfield?
Are Wakefield fans delusional?

Hang on boss, you said 25 years but, have only given figures for 16.
While Huddersfield were languishing in the old 2nd division, Trinity were in the top flight.
Please add those figures in and come back when you've backed up your boast.
It's a great story and I always enjoy a bit of RL history and well done for posting it.
You do seem a tad touchy over the crowd last night but, you really shouldn't, really.
As for the past trophies etc, I didn't think that was part of the thread but, again, well done for providing the info.
Despite your "superior" trophy collection, your crowds havent exceeded those of Trinity over the past 25 years
Even if they had, it doesn't change the "spectacle" from last night - an awful game and a mickey poor crowd - nice ground though
