Just got home from the game dissapointed but hey always next season.

The point of this post as you will gather is to wonder where all the fans went tonight - oh yes that would be the couldn't bothered brigade!. Fair play to Leeds and for that matter most teams in Super league as least they get out and support the team unlike our fair weather mob!. Respect to all of those few thousand that bothered to turn up and SUPPORT THE TEAM. Shame on those of you who couldn't be bothered or decided to watch it at home just because we got hammered by Wire or because the referee wasn't to their liking!.

The number of empty seats tonight in the home sides was embarrassing for an elimination semi. Honestly I was in the Direct Gold Stand and there were the same loyal 'mature' ladies (pensioners) who turn up week after week where was everyone else?.

I do wonder what Ken and the players will be thinking - the apathy amongst some of the Giants fans is unbelievable. I know everyone has a choice to attend but tonight was an absolute joke.

Respect to those who got off their backsides to attend - with a bit more luck we would have beaten Leeds as they were rattled and a reason why they won't win the comp however fair play to them we didn't play for the 80 minutes.

Most fickle fans in Super league - WITHOUT DOUBT those would be ours then!.

So you would be happy if we have 5000 who come to games as long as they were all "proper" supporters.


Personnally i would settle with 10,000 glory hunters and bandwaggonners and i am sure that Ken Day and Richard Thewlis would as well.

Stop being so precious about wearing campaign medals about how we were around in the dark days. The club needs money through the door now, whether that is casual supporters or diehards matters not one iota.

Spot on. All welcome bandwagon or not. you can't have it both ways.

Why don't the uber loyal supporters call themselves Ultras or Brigantes or something , make a few flags and consider themselves better fans than everyone else....oh no that's a different team.

Before anyone else has a go at Giants fans consider this scenario

You play your best Rugby ever for 3 or 4 decades.

At home you score 50 or 60 points in over half of your games in a season.

You play scintillating RL all season and score over 1000 points in a season.

You win your first league title for 40 odd years and you are having the trophy presented at home in front of the cameras after a game you look like comfortably winning.

You get an attendance of 10,000.

If that had happened to the Giants we would have got well over 10,000 to the game.

You mean like this scenario- play your best rugby for decades, nil several teams, have one of the best defences in the league- get to your first challenge cup final at wembley for decades- and get slated for a pitiful crowd that was quite frankly embarrassing.
