| But 5,000 in Fartown days would have been a dream, think people need to see how far the club have come before taking too many pot shots, the gates are poor but they have been a heck of a lot worse and the fact we are now thought of as a club who should be getting big gates is a compliment in itself.

TBF, credit where its due, Huddersfield have come on leaps and bounds over the past 4/5 seasons and although youve fallen of your perch over the past few weeks, there is no denying the fact that you are top 6 contenders.

| Yawn. Does it still not occur to people that less than a decade ago, this would be considered a GREAT crowd for Huddersfield! Their gates have come on leaps and bounds and will continue to do so. Low crowds are going to become the norm for these Monday night fixtures, so get used to it.

| We've all had a pop at Shudds for their poor crowds, but at the end of the day its really got bu**er all to do with us. If they're happy that's all there is to it.

Poor ko times are something we have to put up with, to keep our paymasters happy.'"
Yes, but poor crowd figures are just as much the fault of the clubs involved. If they're not marketing their games and club to the fullest extent, they can't turn round and say "Sorry we've got crap crowds, it's Sky's fault for actual showing interest in the sport and actually broadcasting it and pumping money into it"

86.jpg Let all the doubters keep doubting and those who believe keep believing.
We’re only interested in those in the bubble. Anyone who wants to come in the bubble, you can come in.
But you’ve got to keep believing.:86.jpg |

Yes it is, really !
Getting accross the M62 any evening is difficult and it doesn't take an awful lot to mean that attending fixtures "on the other side" after a days work is not always possible.
Many people finish a touch earlier on Fridays, but there isnt the same finish time on Mondays.
As I said in an earlier post, if its a local fixture, then there is no problem/ excuse but, try getting from Wigan/ Saints over to one of the Hull clubs and you have to finish work early or not go.
Its not rocket science, just rush hour traffic.

| But all the monday night games are fairly local anyway (isn't this one of the furthest journeys?)
I think it's brilliant recognition for our sport that we've been chosen to replace the regular football spot.

| truth is though most rugby fans dont turn up when they are told to they turn up when they feel like it, unlike football fans who will turn up when ever, poor crowd for us i agree 2000 less than last lowest crowd this season, but still 500 more than was at widnes the previous sunday, i predict it wont be the last lowest crowd of the season for several clubs, the other 2 matches so far one was on a bank holiday, the other leeds saints lets wait and see the rest.

| Its a terrible crowd considering the quality of players, form in recent years and size of town. The club really need to do some PR work.
