There were probably a few that were and probably lots that weren't but what's that got to do with it?. Unlike you I don't understand why people stayed away (except those with young children of course). The trouble is when the chips are down there seems to be hardcore of around 3000 ish who've turned up which for a team who finished 4th is really poor. I felt sorry for the players - looking round at the empty seats they must have felt heartened that so many people had not bothered to turn up and show their appreciation for what's been a difficult second half of the season. We have still finished 4th. The bigger debate is without support the team can't flourish and progress, if we can't progress we'll maybe never win anything and we need as many people at games as possible as Ken and the club are trying to do. It must be very frustrating for the club. Maybe some of the people in Huddersfield just are'nt bothered either way - its a shame.

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.
