| Quote Giantscorpio="Giantscorpio"Seen as you are a Bulls supporter, you have nowt to shout about.
1996 St.Helens v Bradford 75994
1997 St.Helens v Bradford 78022
2003 Bradford v Leeds 71212
2009 Huddersfield v Warrington 76560
'"
To be fair mate on the above point,
1996 - 75,994 Capacity 78,022
1997 - 78,022 Capacity 78,022 - sold out two weeks before the game.
2003 - 71,212 Capacity 73,000.
That said nearly 77,000 yesterday wasn't a bad effort.

| Quote healey08="healey08"Good job we took about 30,000 because we had the rest of the stadium against us haha , i had good seats in the east lower tier bt i was still near alot of wakefield, bradford and leeds fans, think it is stupid how they can buy those seats'"
Hey I have been going to the Cup Final for 30 years and there was not 30K from Warrington.
The neutrals like me (hate us all you like but we go and support the game of RL no matter who is at the Final) always make up about 60% of the gate, there were noticeably less in numbers this year I admit but by my reckoning thats 45K and Huddersfield had about 15% so 12K so there were 19K from Warrington.
Not an expert on crwods I admit but in the old Wembley days thats when teams took 30k when the crwods were 90K plus, not any more sadly.
I have to say for such a big town there should really have been more from Huddersfield or is it just a football town now? Poor turnout.

| Let`s put this in perspective. Do you honestly think Wire would have been as loud as we were if we had got beat? And don`t you think some of our fickle fans would have left before the team had got their medals? Of co they would. Stop beating yourselves up and consentrate on the play offs. If you get to OT then the Wire neutrals will be shouting for yous (unless it`s against us  )

| The OP is as disappointed as anyone who has followed the Giants for a long time but answer this question before you continue bagging the fans.
Do we have more fans now than we did 2, 5, 10 or 20 years ago
Do we have more fans going to away games than we did 2,5,10 20 years ago
Do we have more fans singing than 2, 5, 10 or 20 years ago
Is there any shame in us taking 15,000 plus to a cup final
Are we a team that is moving forward
The answer to all the above is yes. We would all like it to be better and over time it will be.
There were more people singing yresterday than i can remember at ANY Giants game i have ever been to. Dont compare the issue of the atmosphere yesterday with some mythical brilliant support we took to Blackpool or Widnes.
Bagging the fans is about as useful as bagging the team.
It is bad enough with other teams slagging us off without our fans turning into a team of self loathers

| Absolutely DG
Bagging some sections of the support because "they arent vocal enough" is just crap really.
Sometimes I sing and shout, sometimes I dont, but I sure as well wont be told I am not vocal enough.
It sounds like I am being told I am not as "good" a supporter as someone else and that I wont take from anyone.

I just got the 30k from someone else saying id say there were 25k warrington fans which is still good, regarding huddersfield people need to get off there fans backs, they have had poor fan base for along time n now thanks to offers, better form, there attracting more fans, the more fans in the game the better. hope huddersfield continue to improve

| Quote anwar1983huddersfield="anwar1983huddersfield"You do wonder what impact it would have had on our players, looking at the vibrant, large and loud Warrington support and then taking a glance at our glum mugs. We hardly inspired them did we. To be honest I was as bad as anyone for that Huddersfield chant....I didn't care as long as I was shouting something....also taking into account I was fasting so not allowed to eat, drink or SWEAR!!! That was the hardest bit of it I'll tell you! Anyway, to thoe of you who did try well done and hold your head's up and for those of you who just sat there looking moody go suck a lemon!!!'"
Well said that man - there are a lot of so called Giants supporters who really should bow there head in shame :-/

Whether they sang or not they still paid money to go, they probably bought merchandise from the club and even coach fares all of which will help the club continue to grow by putting money in the kitty. Surely the more fans we have the more money in the clubs pocket the better the players the better the team the more chances we will get at going to semi finals and finals and make even more money. We have, as many of us know, have had a bad run for many years and some fans got so used to not being vocal for fear of being laughed at by opposition that it is still hard for some to come to terms that we are now a good team and capable of beating anyone on our day. Money in the kitty is how Bradford, Saints, Wigan and Leeds all became great clubs by having the ability to buy the better players and therefore gaining success. Success means more fans and so the cycle goes on.
Now can we all stop moaning and bickering and concentrate on what we have left this season - the play offs. The cup has gone, it belongs to Warrington until next year. There is however still a cup on offer. Next up Celtic....then Wigan then the play offs.....COME ON YOU GIANTS!
