| 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.

| Quote: HuddsRL5 "Maybe people don't go to the games because they don't want to converse with people that argue with every opinion or statement that differs from theirs.
We as fans are letting ourselves down, we share the same passion and interest, but we let that come between us and there actually seems some hostility on this board.
Can we get back to talking rugby and get some positivity back into our club?'"
Don't know where you sit but that's not true in the Kilner Bank yes we debate on here but in my experience every body at the game supports and wants us to win but as an excuse for not going or people not turning up that doesn't work

| Just as a counter question to that which first started this topic and for some reason a lot of inter supporter animosity......
Bearing in mind the teams fortunes and ignoring the hardcore fans /posters on here /and die hards of 40-50 or indeed 60 years plus -before someone has a go .....
..........as sport is clearly a form of entertainment--has the club / team shown enough this season to merit / persuade non attendees -for whatever reason to come along and maintain /increase attendances
surely it works both ways......

| Personally I think the support has been good this year.
Whether that's because we are up against it I don't know but I sense a better atmosphere at games these days.
A good core of supporters that get behind the team.
I thought the support in Perpingan was exceptional although I didn't remember much of the game!
I do remember having a good laugh at 'He lives on a boat.....etc.'

That's like every away game, obviously the result matters, but we try to have a good time at every game we go to, wining the match helps though!
