| Or maybe some people can't afford to pay the extra money on top of what they already pay.
With this I mean the season ticket holders who didn't show up.
Family of 4 would cost what? Minimum of £40?
Who are you to judge these people or call them.
And as mentioned we are hardly having a good season.
People are entitled to spend their own time and money on what they want without being called out by people on here. 50 years of thick and thin or not!

I'm not judging or calling anyone just pointing out the facts.
To be honest I didn't expect 7,500 thought 6,000 would have been a good gate especially when it ain't on TV.
Good season or not a challenge cup tie with Leeds is an attractive game and
'Who am I to judge these people or call them' ?? I guess that's simple I'm someone that was there on the night and noticed the massive drop in Huddersfield fans and increase in Leeds fans whose season is worse than ours !! Comprende ??

| what a load of rubbish!
Talk about self righteous. Neither of you two are in a position to judge how much of a fan somebody is. I know people who are real fans but don't go anymore as they have been made redundant and putting food on the table is struggle enough. Are they not true fans?
As I said. Folk work hard for their money and are entitled to spend that money and that free time on whatever they want. If they want a week off the rugby then that's their choice and don't need their loyalty challenged by people on here.
Too many mercenaries on here. Huddersfield RLFC may be your life but don't push your beliefs onto others.
And for the record, I very rarely miss a game in any competition, home or away. I have been watching the club for 30 years and had the odd season away for various reasons.

Interesting response however Huddersfield RLFC ain't my life I'm just a long term supporter 20 years + more than you and it's my choice to go whenever I want to as it is to anyone and everyone.
Mercenaries mmm well I'm not a Professional soldier hired to serve in a Foreign Army or someone working only for money or another reward.
I think I'm a Rugby League supporter certainly not self righteous which defines as complacent, smug, superior or a hypocrite.
A degree in English Language can be quite useful.
In fact Fartown for life if you knew the definitions of the words you used I find it quite insulting or quite cowardly as your post comes across as someone saying what they think so why hide behind words that most people don't know the meaning of.
If you read my original post I asked a question as simple as that, it is after all a forum for debate about Rugby League and associated matters. Crowd numbers is just one of them.
Of course some people can't make it at times I can't get to Catalans due to an appointment tomorrow but you chose in your post to generalise as if I was personally attacking each supporter when I was pointing out a massive drop in support and asked a simple question nothing more nothing less.

| Refer to your second post.
You claim you were having a go at the 2500 season ticket holders who couldn't be bothered. You're words! So yes you was personally attacking those people.
You don't know why they didn't go.
I can google words or get a dictionary out to try and look superior to another but you tend to find that people who call people's use of English or poor grammar are those that might be trying to get themselves out of a hole.

| Has it ever occurred to any one , The majority of people in Huddersfield just don't rate Rugby league, or at least not enough to go and watch it, That's just how it is,
I wouldn't go watch Town if they paid me to go, or any other soccer team either', does that mean Huddersfield don't deserve a soccer team because they don't get 5,000 more fans , I have talked to Town fans " one of my mates being one of them " He never stops talking about them, I just think what a sad life you lead mate if that's all you have to talk about and spend your hard earned on.
The point is It's his hard earned to spend on what he wants. and the sad facts are that the vast majority of Huddersfield people choose to spend theirs on something other than Fartown They go Fishing, Biking , Golfing whatever.
There is this unbelievable opinion about that people need to offer up some sort of credible excuse for not going to a match, The only excuse they need is " I didn't want to go " what that has to do with anyone else I have no idea, they aren't stopping anyone else going.
Regards Huddersfield people being tight, I'm told that the Town has the highest number of Golf club members per head of population in West Yorkshire, I don't know if that's true I don't play myself, but I should think it will be more costly than watching League, and that's just golf, as far as I know there has been some sort of explosion in Biking as well, Bottom line, People do what they want, not what other people want them to do.

What hole is this ??
'I was personally attacking those 2,500 people' not one of whom I can name or know, just recognise which seats were empty. Get real if I was going to personally attack someone I would do it right and at least understand what I was saying or use the correct vocabulary for it to be clear what I meant.
If you'd have said I had personally attacked Paul Anderson or some of the players after some of the shocking performances this season yeah I can see that but I go back to my original point I was there to see them.

| Quote boomer="boomer"The Giants have some very loyal supporters and ertainly deserve a SL team, but the question was do Huddersfield, and the answer to that is NO. l go to the gam and back by bus an foot, and its always groundhog day. "are the giants playing today", no lm in fancy dress., " l was going to go but " out comes the book of excuses.
Same on the way home, "how did they get on", l usually ignore them.
lf we get to Wembley there will be 20000 plus all professing to be lifelong supporters.
l have said it before. the general public of Huddersfield are some of the most tight fisted miserable folk l have ever met
and they deserve what they get'"
when I used to watch fartown, if somebody asked me how we had got on , I didn't ignore them, I just said" if you cared that much, you should have gone"..
