Foregone conclusion in terms of the result. Asking fans to pay up for non-season ticket games from the same wage packet as the last one. Full-on day of sport on the TV. Game on the TV.
I'm not surprised by the crowd at all and will not berate anyone who had a look at it and chose to do something else.

Thank you

If the game had come out of my season ticket I'd have gone, it didn't so I watched it on Sky

Or should i cancell my sky subscription and go to a handful of cup games instead?

Frankly, I'd love to see what crowds any other club got for this fixture, because I bet it would be shockingly low, whereas if the Giants had been hosting any of the other clubs then the attendance would have been doubled at least.

And given Widnes v Saints only got a few hundred more last round this is not a problem unique to Huddersfield

Saints -v- Oldham in the last round got 5,000+

Unfortunately supporters at a number of (mostly Yorkshire) clubs are now weaned on the idea that 50-60 quid is the value of a season ticket and that they should get VIP treatment on the back of this. Ken Davy has been one of the engineers of this and sadly he'll have to reap what he's sown.

The World Cup will be the next example of this. I can't say I look forward to the 30-page thread of apoplexy when (mostly Yorkshire) supporters find out the RFL intend to charge more than the price of a first-class stamp for entry to international matches.

May I start the bidding with, 'they should of done cheap tickets to get the fans in'.

wendyball fans part with their hard earned on a regular basis.....can't see the issue with RL except that fans seem to like the odd whinge...

......So, has the RFL announced their throwing us out of this competition yet for failing to attract a huge crowd to the least attractive fixture any club could possibly draw at that stage of the competition ??

NO ?

Right then, Semi-finals it is

No, but Huddersfield are.

A good side on the pitch, but their lack of presence, attractiveness, personality and fans are an embarrassment to top level RL.

Simply, no-one cares about Huddersfield.

So Huddersfield have got to the top of the league without playing attractive rugby???

Interesting view that but having been to most of the games this season (including yesterday!!!!!) I can't wait for the team to find out how to play entertaining rugby

I turned the TV on yesterday praying that London would make a game of it. It just didnt happen like expected and i really cant blame Hudds fans for not wanting to turn up to what was essentially a bye in to the semi finals.

Widnes V Saints was 2 rounds ago! And there was a thread slating the crowd. 2,500 for a cup quarter final is shameful.

So fans should only turn up to see games in which the opposition can reasonably be expected to make a fist of it? Sorry, it just doesn't wash. We had 8,327 turn out to watch an injury-ravaged Hull side get tonked by Huddersfield in the last round. The result could have been predicted well in advance of the game, and yet we managed to attract nearly 6000 more fans than Hudds did for a quarter final they were expected to win.

How big of you. You do know the final won't be included in your season ticket, don't you? Perhaps, if Hudds make it there, you should watch that on the telly, as well.

Invariably the teams with the biggest attendances win most trophies. So attendances are a big factor.

i was very impressed with the leigh crowd! Leeds travelled very well too.
