Fine no worries then.

Edited for correctness (and to stop you getting a sulk on!!

)

A steward - manager at the ground told me there was 4,124 fans at the Leeds end of the pitch, including the rest of the leeds fans down the sides this would suggest around 4,500 Leeds fans turned up.

in the 80s i was stood with austin(flying prop) supporting the team i love and i know for a fact both of us have introduced a lot of friends and family into becoming giants fans, but it still doesnt make fridays attendance any less pathetic every reason i have heard for not going are valid, but it doesnt stop me been any less fed up with yet another poor crowd when we have to actually pay on the gate.

Why, exactly, or even vaguely, should people go and spend hard earned money, sometimes quite a lot of money, to watch a team that has by all measures been utterly awful in the last 2-3 months?

Why should they give up their Friday nights to watch a team, that 7 days earlier got utterly, completely and comprehensively smashed out of the park?

If you cant understand why people might choose to stay at home and watch the game on Sky then I really dont know quite what you expect from people.

Ask the Wildcats fans the same question. They managed to get 6,428 through the gates for a game against Crusaders having had 40 points put on them for the 5 weeks previous.

Cos it was one game you might win, and you didn't think you'd have too many more games in Super League after that...

Impossible given that stand holds 4,054 and there was netting on the front plus a fair few seats dotted around! Granted you came in numbers but not to that extent!

why not go watch wire and wigan then if you will only pay to see winning teams ?

i cant believe people are trying to make the excuse that a few bad months where we havent had the best results, played away at wigan, saints and warrington twice. with having alot of injuries to key players. means that fans cant show up to one big game which could have put us 80 mins away from OT.

if fans will only go to games when where winning why support the team at all why not go and support wigan or warrington then they wont see a few bad months and can be happy. fair enough we dont have the biggest support the crowd on friday was beyond a joke.

i have sympathy for the fans that had a genuine reason for not going but its very dissapointing.

and people saying having a go at our fans doesnt help anything well neither does not saying owt. we have been on tv alot of times this season but we have had bigger crowds.

I notice Wigan only got 6790 for the game against Catalan. I know they would have all been Wigan fans. But they did finish second in the league and won the Challenge cup.
Most of the crowds for the play-offs have been the very low, so there is no point in having a go at the Giants support as all other clubs involved have suffered the same apathy.
