Quote: Durham Giant "Over the years i have learnt to be less critical of our fans particularly on the forums.

I am not surprised at last nights turnout and i do not blame anyone of them for not attending.

We have been poor for a long time, fans are disillusioned, money is tight, it was on TV, kids and their mums dont go to evening KOs EVERYONE one of them has their reasons for not going. It is their choice.

Coming on here and slagging our fans off hardly does anything to improve the situation.

Get out and build the club rather than pasively stand by and slag everyone off. Connorgiants fan has the right idea. He is getting people to come to games, a lot more useful than posting on a forum how crap everyone else is to make your self feel better.'"
Oh for goodness sake 'making myself feel better' give it a rest! icon_lol.gif Everyone has the right not to turn up but the point is 'after one bad game' that's the point - yes we've been inconsistent but as Fat Boy says a major dummy spit by our own fans. As for fans being dissillusioned? we finished 4th.

Quote: meast "thats called being a bandwagon/fairweather supporter.
if people aren't interested or willing to watch ( i wont use the term support) that has poor spells on the field and in general then i suggest they stop calling themselves supporters.
we as a club have battled against these kind of people for years, im sure they would be rather support a team that wins regularly, im sure we will see a few "giants fans" defecting soon if thats the case.
im sorry but as you and i,and others on here are well aware due to being there in the bad times,you support your club through thick and thin,good and bad, true,loyal supporters dont stay at home and watch on tv because the team lost the week before.'"



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.

Quote: giants fans "meast wrote

Im not sure ken and thewlis would be happy with Casual support - they want / need folk to give their money at the start of the season and every season so they can plan the team finances and know how much they can spend on recruitment, players arent given one year contracts the club need to know the money will be there to pay 3,4,5 yr contracts. Compare those fickle giants fans who stay away when we lose to those Wigan fans who turned up in numbers to support their team when threatened with relegation- yes we know they cheated but I reckon those fans had a big influence over the team staying in sl. If the tables were turned we'd be lucky to get 2000 turn up, and twisting the rules would not help us stay up.

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.
