It's all swings and roundabouts.

Roll back 25 years.

Fax riding high with a wealthy backer.
Hudds in the toilet without a pot to pizz in.

Roles are now reversed. Neither club is twice that of the other.

Not makin excuses but the game was all pay, on tv, was played the same time the premier league season finished,the kick off time meant that the away support was literally 0,the game wasn't very attractive,the opposition meant most people thought it be a walkover, the crowd was over a quarter of our ST holders,how many other clubs would get over a quarter of ST holders attending in same circumstances? The people of huddersfield are still very apathetic toward the giants after years of misery and failure

We sing swing low sweet chariot singing for the claret and gold and have done for years, as for the allez chant,that came about from joining in with the catalans fans in perpignan and the last edinburgh magic weekend

Amusing how saints fans are rubbishing our crowd today,remember the last game at knowsley road? Play off final qualifier against huddersfield,all pay,the crowd was 6000 with 2000 from huddersfield.
Cup games and play off games are poorly attended,with other factors added in we were never going to get a big crowd, to compare the leigh and fev crowds is pathetic,both were friday nights and boosted by big away followings and also big games for those clubs,london at home is never a big game for anyone.

I didn't go today, but I'm a season ticket holder

Maybe if we'd been playing Saints, Leeds, Wire or Wigan is have gone to watch.
But against London to either watch is rack up points OR play so abysmally I wish I'd stayed at home - and pay £15 for the privilege, no thanks, not when I can watch two games on TV

But ill be there on Friday night, with 5 others who didn't go today either.

The way people watch games has changed, the majority of fans are season ticket holders now and so if clubs want to get more folks in for cup games, they need to either drop the price of cup games OR include them in season ticket costs

As has been pointed out Widnes v Saints only got 500 more last round, so this isn't a problem solely of Huddersfield

How many did Wigan Saints get watching? And how many did they get for the corresponding league fixture?

But sure, if people want to take a cheap shot at the giants fine, ignore the real issue.

Lets face it if we were world champions 5 years running and averaging 20k folk would still fire cheap shots at us, its given lots of people lots of pleasure over the years so why change it

I went, and I've never been saddened by a Giants game crowd, and I've seen us play in front of 1,000 for a SL game. We could, and should, have got 5,000+, irrespective of the Premier League, time, weather or whatever. We are 160 from Wembley.

But we target kids too much, under 6's that naturally, won't come to 6.00 Sunday games - If we spread out our marketing, we'd get bigger crowds. Its £7 for Students on Friday, but who knows about that? No-one.

SL my Ar$e - Mr J Royle.

The sport is a joke, interesting discussion on GMR after the soccer refn BWFC and P&R, about killing the dream and losing the soul - just what RL is doing with the franchise nonsense. See the RU Championship play offs were live again today.

How is P&R affecting the Cup?

And what RU got to do with it?

Hint, the answer is bugger all.

doubt that mate, we haven't had any crowds that low in SL

Awful post. I'm surprised you didn't choke on your prawn sandwich. Typifies everything that's wrong with fans today. Plastic fans.

Awful.

Forget the away fans excuse but if this was a more attractive fixture like Leeds, Saints, Wigan, Warrington, Catalan, Bradford, Hull then we would of brought more home fans. The facts are that ok we had bad crowd today but we are still one of the best teams in the league for growing our support each year.

Your not wrong,its a good job good old Ken don't read these boards

Like it Rock God quality

That dosen't take that much doing with your average does it !!
