Quote: FARTOWNFORLIFE "We are small in regards of rugby league not population.
Despite finishing top last year people still do not class us as a "top 4 club"
I am fine with that. And as I said I do not feel there is a conspiracy. However if the rfl were put on the spot and forced to answer "who would you prefer in the challenge cup final" 100% they would say saints. Mainly due to fan base. I understand and accept this.
It's common sense.
And trust me, it wouldn't matter what Mr Davy did go advertise the club. We will never get 10,000 home fans.
Wigan won the fa cup last year and were in the premier league for years but there crowds in comparison to others were poor. It's just not a football town.
Maybe we aren't a rugby town.
Anyway, less,of the nonsense, I'm looking forward to tomorrow'"
I think the Giants are missing a trick with the university. As someone who has just finished 3 years at Huddersfield Uni only a stones throw from the ground, there was barely anything aimed at the students. Occasionally we'd get an offer for £10 tickets but they were always for games against the likes of London, Catalan, Widnes etc. What would Huddersfield have had to lose by giving out free student tickets for the Saints game? Rugby league is a game people will get hooked on given the chance but getting a foothold with student fans wouldn't take that much effort in terms of advertising. Poster campaigns and messages spread through the student body aren't difficult to organise. Give them free tickets for some of the bigger games to get them hooked and you might be surprised how many might start going regularly. I'm a saints fan and used to take a load of my mates whenever we played there, a fair amount of them still attend games fairly regularly and there's more of them going all the time. The uni is expanding and with more and more student accomodation based around the middle of Huddersfield I think the potential is there to gain a lot more fans.
