| Just got home from the game dissapointed but hey always next season.
The point of this post as you will gather is to wonder where all the fans went tonight - oh yes that would be the couldn't bothered brigade!. Fair play to Leeds and for that matter most teams in Super league as least they get out and support the team unlike our fair weather mob!. Respect to all of those few thousand that bothered to turn up and SUPPORT THE TEAM. Shame on those of you who couldn't be bothered or decided to watch it at home just because we got hammered by Wire or because the referee wasn't to their liking!.
The number of empty seats tonight in the home sides was embarrassing for an elimination semi. Honestly I was in the Direct Gold Stand and there were the same loyal 'mature' ladies (pensioners) who turn up week after week where was everyone else?.
I do wonder what Ken and the players will be thinking - the apathy amongst some of the Giants fans is unbelievable. I know everyone has a choice to attend but tonight was an absolute joke.
Respect to those who got off their backsides to attend - with a bit more luck we would have beaten Leeds as they were rattled and a reason why they won't win the comp however fair play to them we didn't play for the 80 minutes.
Most fickle fans in Super league - WITHOUT DOUBT those would be ours then!.

| Got to agree, i knew loads of regulars who sit by me who weren't there tonight .....some openly told me they couldn't be bothered and were gonna watch it on TV.
We seem to have this problem more than any other team whereas out fans just cant be bothered coming to the games.

| We must have bad parents in Leeds... how dare we bring so many over when the kids should be in bed... THE KIDS!!
Same goes for our home games too. 15k on average every other Friday. The walls are always full with kids on them and theres thousands more stood and sat too. No wonder this city is turning to ****

| Maybe some people thought they'd not bother putting the effort in after watching the Giants team spend the last two months doing the same?
You can't blame people for not going tonight after the garbage we've had to sit through in the past weeks.
Simple fact is after last week I'm surprised anyone went at all.

| I think it must be said that if it's kids that aren't turning up - we shouldn't be marketing towards 6-7 year olds. Look, I'm 16, and where I'm at school, everyone loves rugby. When I tell people that it makes more sense to buy a Fartown season ticket than to go to 5 Leeds Carniege/Leeds Rhinos games, they're shocked. NOBODY EVER TELLS THE TEENS! Go to the Town game tomorrow, and try and count the groups of 16-18 year old lads at the game, you'll count thousands, and those are the lads that shout, chant and get behind the team.
Look, I know a lot of fans have families, but we can't really rely on 5-12 year olds to be the majority of our support. There were 3,000 there from Fartown tonight, if the club would have gone into Secondary Schools and the Primary Schools to get their support, we could have had a lot more. For what its worth, I've converted 7 people to getting Season Tickets from my year, 2 from the year above, and all are going away next year, another girl is considering it (and she named her hamster after Eorl) and a couple more may just get one to become casual fans. There is a significant market for Huddersfield Giants supporters among my age-group, but Thewlis has traded a Family status above significant raises in team attendance in the last few years.

| Where do you think big crowds come from?
What's happened to the 20k Bradford used to get? Where have Wire's full houses come from?
Fickle fans are what big crowds are made of and they want to see a winning team. So why not have a bit of realism and stop bloody whinging.

| Less of the language if you don't mind - who's 'bloody whinging? I am just stating a fact, making a point, you know that is what a forum is for isnt it? a forum which you moderate?.
One bad game and our crowds drop by 50%. Your point is flawed - I am referring to one game - tonight's. You are referring to two other clubs over a longer period who may have a seen a reduction in crowd numbers but certainly not the apathy on display this evening.
You thought the support was decent tonight then I presume. I guess you did.

| I think the point that code is making is it won't improve till we win owt. Bradford gone down as they haven't won pet for ages, wire gone up cause they have.
