will be a bigger crowd on friday night v wigan...wonder if a thread will be started on the attendance?

around 1000 fans went to catalans last week so prob couldnt afford to back up the cup game which as expected was a walkover

and not 1 london fan turned up yesterday ...not 1 !!

anyway well done to those that turned up (me included) the glory hunters will be wanting a ticket for the final!! (took around 17,000 last time to wembley)

You actually miss your own point...Huddersfield aren't even attractive to people in Huddersfield!!

And the RFL in their wisdom don't want it that way. They don't think clubs should have any incentive to boost attendances. The leaders must be held back to allow the competition to equalize...thus boosting the game across the board...and what a load of dreamers (the polite description) the RFL are. Expect more of the same, a continuing view of Nigel Wood's ar$e as he buries his head in the sand.

The diehards will turn up whatever the fair weather fans just dont. Having it on TV just makes it worse. If it had of been Fax or Leigh playing Hudds it would have been a bigger crowd, why is that? Saying that if it had of been Fax or Leigh playing London we would have faced the prospect of having a Championship team in the semi finals, because lets face it London are complete tosh and its probably the reason nobody gives one bout them.

to get to the semi final of the sport's only knockout comp.

Beggars belief that more couldn't be bothered to go. The semi will have to be at the Galpharm to get a crowd in

Still £15 is a lot of money out of this season's pass saving...

Or is it you can not express what you mean clearly

What does it matter how attractive Huddersfield are to outsiders and I think if there is one think the Giants thrive at it is their marketing.

The fanbase is probably unique in RL with women and children being far more likely to be found in attendance than the say 20-45 year olds that you would find at every other club. A whole generation or more has been lost, probably forever, to the likes of Huddersfield Town, Bradford City/Bulls and Leeds United/Rhinos and it is marketing and branding the club as a family one that has it where it is today and not just 1,000 odd people approaching retirement talking about Fartown days.

Giants would love to be a Cas or such like where the town is bought up if not to support their side in person take a big interest in how the side is doing and perhaps by getting so many youngsters through the gates it is a start of creating it being natural for youngsters in the area to be Giants fans but until that day the club needs to do what it does in getting in sponsorship, season ticket holders, families involved etc etc and if they get looked down on by the "big" clubs supporters so what.

Strange! When London play at home and get a small crowd, it's their fault.

When London play away and there's a small crowd, it's not the fault of the home side, but it's London's fault again.

The Hudds board need to go away and give their heads a shake.... They will never have a better opportunity to sell their product with the team playing so well.... As it stands, the club will be derided, and rightly so.

Wigan fans really showed Giants the way v Crusaders I seem to remember.

All this argument about it being an 'extra' game, additional to the season ticket - aren't Huddersfiled's season tickets only £50 anyway?

You weren't looking very hard then. There were a few away to my right.


Not that it's the visiting team's responsibility to bolster numbers anyway

True (well sort of true as about 1,500 have got £50 tickets most of the others went for £100 or so) and probably a factor in £15 for a Cup game not appealing but then again the club would not be budgeting on Cup games when they do they're pricing structures I am sure so at the end of the day whilst it would have been nice to have had more there I doubt the board will be having many sleepless nights over it.

Suppose we go on and win the cup and kev brown is ready to lift the cup then someone says "oh hang on a minute,they only got 2500 for a quarter final they are a disgrace so they cant have the cup" unfortunately for you lot it dont work that way,
it doesn't matter how much you call us a disgrace and abuse us and slag us off,it wont change the fact that a lot of our fans chose not to attend a one sided game that was on tv on a sunday night!

you sure they werent working for sky tv?

Good. I wonder what sort of state the game would be in if fans of every club chose not to attend games that might be on TV and/or potentially one-sided.
