Some of you are missing the point. Regardless of whether you like my reasoning or not. There are existing supporters who are not going to renew season tickets. And these aren't just fair weather supporters. In fact it's more likely to be ones who have been there when we were getting pummelled week in and week out. It's these who are disillusioned with the game and the lack of intensity. The club and RL as a whole do need to take note before it's too late.

From a harsh point of view it's perhaps best for the Giants not to go

1. It's a lot of money for the club to recoup and let's not deny our marketing team is either terminally constricted or they really are useless

2. Let's be honest our form in high intensity games is not the best and a spanking at the hands of an Aussie team would be hard to recover from in terms of selling us to non converts

3. In continuing from 2 I'd rather see 3 English wins to boost the games profile and international setup - the clubs competing best represent that

4. Its a big pre-season distraction in this first year of a new league format, I'd rather see us start the season well and secure top 8

Most clubs use plastic cards now and not a bingo ticket booklet like something from the 50s but we are talking Huddersfield now, do you also include your turnstyle staff in your official attendances ?

He he, good one, bet you're writing the jokes for the crackers in Hull this year !!

I'm not from Hull. Just thought I'd pass comment on the unprovoked slander to a polite innocent question to someone from Hull by a dullard from gods waiting room.
