| Quote: poor lad! "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
2017 WAK 5th (5,289) HUD 8th (5,463)
2016 WAK 9th (4,761) HUD 12th- wooden spoon(5,224)
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
2010 WAK 11th (5,983) HUD 5th (7,23icon_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)

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?

If we had a sugar daddy, a football team to ponce off and a shiny new stadium laid on then we'd be able to press on as a club. Huddersfield have got everything set up for them to be successful but they still draw low crowds. They've also been relegated from SL which Wakey never have.
Wakey have never merged with another team, financially raped them and then binned them off without so much as a farewell.
Same with all these teams that have had Tesco build them a ground or the council stump up for first class facilities. Easy to look down on other clubs that dont have that and have to battle for every penny we can get.

Haha yeah they are a prickly lot. Didn't even mention the situation with their pitiful away support, but that's probably best left for now.

How you ask?
A) We play in dump, Hudds do not
B) Hudds have won the LLS and made a CC appearance and came close to a GF appearance in the last ten years,we have not.
C) Most importantly, this year Hudds have the cheapest season tickets going.
And yet they barely do better than us crowd wise.

You may be on to something there.
They were the away side last night (Toronto were drawn at home) so, most of them will have stayed home

| Quote: wrencat1873 "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 ![]()
Us?? where have i claimed to be a Huddersfield fan, shouldn't my user name give it away?
The fact that Wakefield were in the top flight while Huddersfield were floundering around in the lower leagues in front of a few hundred hardy souls rattling around in a crumbling Fartown, just shows how poor the Wakefield club have been over the last half century then and it should be even more reason to have a bit of humility and not keep embarrassing yourself and your fanbase with digs at Huddersfield.
Enjoy your own team, enjoy the sport, enjoy looking forward to a successful time for Wakefield in a brand new stadium instead of trying to points score against other teams' fans.
Cheerio.

FFS, it was you that chelped about more numbers "over the last 25 years" but now you seem to be sulking when called out 
It was all pretty light hearted until you decided to try and be clever.
As for crumbling Fartown, which was fell victim of having wooden stands. It had more atmosphere than they will ever manage at The John Smiths Stadium, cow bell and all.
As for which club you support, its impossible to tell from just 7 posts, on the face of it you could be a shiny new troll or you could be some kind of pseudo Trinity fan - who knows and who cares.
I guess that you've had you're 15 minutes of fame, congratulations  | | | |

Wakey have been in SL for 22 years and yet out of all the established SL clubs they haven't won anything or been to a final. Hudds had a League Leaders Shield and a Wembley appearance. Even HKR got to Wembley.

Never been relegated though, unlike Cas, Hudds or HKR. Just shows what a sugar daddy can do for a club. | | |

That’s not fair. Speed bump Johnstone won most popular winger 2 seasons ago when the wakey board organised a mass vote for it | | |

Hardly, we said we'd improve it and we did. Added the flats and roofs. Not all of us have a cricket club to ponce off and a council to build our ground. | | |

Yet we still support them, now that's dedication.
It's forty years since our last major final, jeez the Loiners are getting stressy after a couple of years. | | | |
