Only 3792 Giants fans compared to 3945 from Hull
Wow'"
No way were there that many, that stand holds 4000, there were about 200 empty seats along with both ends cordoned off, my estimate 2800/2900, still a very good turn out by Hull though.
By the way, no problem with the band, as said they just need to learn the songs that Huddersfield sing out to thats all, i was sat right in the middle as usual and i never heard any disparaging comments from anyone.

| I quite liked the band idea. Unfortunately our chants, like the team never really got going.

| Bit of a mixed response, as expected really
like i have said you cant knock the club for trying, not the best game to get the atmosphere going with what was dished up on the field
the band i think do need to follow what the fans are chanting though which could come in time
think it will be quite good on a friday night on sky with everyone getting involved!
lets face it the atmosphere before this band was rubbish so cant be much worse, give it a chance... the usual singers seem to have their noses put out just because it wasnt their idea and been overshadowed by the band.

 dont believe all you see on social media
2500 is a more true figure of the hull fc, which was very good.
sure someone on here will have the exact figure in the away end.

| My issue with bands, and because at my football team we have had years of it, Is the band playing stuff completely different to what the fans are singing therefore drowning out the singing. They could be ok by just keepin the Rhythym/beat to a song going but it's the idea of them just playing random tunes at random times that annoys me. It could work if the band and fans work together but if it's a case of the band just playing for their own pleasure then it will only cause friction to those in that area. Maybe if they are to be a fixture they could move round the stands though rather than in the same place.

| DG, as I said I have no problem if they just help get the crowd going or if they join in with a song but they just played random tunes when the game was up and the crowd disheartened.. Playing the tune to Leeds' southstanders song is not going to get giants fans singing along when we are 19-0 down!
If they have to stay then a bit of research into what the fans sing and when would be a good start.. The only one they got about right was the seven nation army one..just belting out random tunes won't help
I don't call it moaning I call it people offering their thoughts and opinions which is what the OP asked for

| When I first heard them I did think oh dear, but because they are not too close and not playing too often, it wasn't bad at all. Maybe they will be more effective if the players on the pitch try to entertain.

| I agree with what a lot of people are saying. The band need to be more cohesive with the singers, however that will only work if they are accepted. Also I think it is completely unfair to call-out/victimise the singers at the back of the stand. Everyone up there tries there absolute hardest to sing songs which are accessible to everyone and it isn't their fault that no one joins in! The only way these fan ideas will move forward is if the fanbase unites, too many of us argue (not discuss) ideas and it won't get us anywhere. It would be nice if for once we could get everyone pulling in the same direction towards one goal, which should be making this club successful and attractive to Huddersfield people.

| Singers and band United will never be defeated!!!
Personally thought the band was okay but disjointed approach in that no one was expecting it so did not join in enough. Bit like the Chelsea tune played before kick off these ideas could help but club need to get fans involved rather than going their own way causing resentment, mistrust, or just confusion.
Too early to tell - but if just a few fans did team up with the band and supported the walk on tune then who knows - it might just catch on - and could make a real improvement to the game day atmosphere?
Will the band travel away I wonder - always a better atmosphere created by the die hard fans at away grounds even when small in numbers. Good chance for them to bond with those who do sing and coordinate what is played when etc...???
