After all the recent griping about our home crowds its interesting to see Town got 11k for their game this week


Given its the first game of the season, I a nice sunny day, against the towns closest soccer rivals...it seems no one wants to watch town play either

Or maybe it's just a sign of the wider economic times

it was a league cup 1st round tie too......a quick read of towns messageboard suggests that alone put many off !

Two games in the entire round beat their attendance

Still for what it is, it's a poor crowd

Suppose so, but we should compare it to a home cup tie for us against Halifax or Batley to get a better like for like. Even though it was a derby i know a lot of town fans have a sense of apathy towards that particular comp.

first round of the carling cup, dont think many are bothered about that!

a tuesday night and all pay on the turnstiles?

plus a game on saturday which will have a bigger crowd i think 11k is pretty good taking all that into account.

imagine if we had a buddies cup game on a tuesday night what would we get

There were a lot of Bradford fans in the away end.
More than we have had from visiting fans except the Rhinos

Plenty excuses there B84

Face it, no one wants to watch Town

8k went to watch from town..i dont know what you was expecting??

we can only dream of 8k on a tuesday night for a run of the mill cup game.

saturdays league game will be a decent crowd too i would think prob a few will be going to watch that instead of coming to watch us friday night

by the way i cant stand football!

Yeah but Town have got an A-board trailer up at the Blacksmiths Arms, Grange Moor...

and home shirts for sale

I was going to post something on this after the game there were 4000 of us there on Tuesday (Bradford City fans) yes I follow the Giants and Bradford City (long story that I won't bore you with) but what I noticed in the BRITANNIA Rescue stand was a large number of juveniles dressed up (as we did in the 80"s I'm afraid to say) in their refinery (Burberry. Lacoste and the like) more interested in watching us than the game acting all hard when if there had been any hint of trouble they'd have all probably gone running. The best part of the evening was when a mouthy 15 year old (at best) was lead out for jesticulating. Looked like he was about to burst into tears bless. If that's the audience that the woof boys attract then I am glad they don't attend Giants games. Slightly puzzled as to why they sing 'love will tear us apart' by Joy Division too??? Anyone care to divulge?

Its "Vaughan, Vaughan will tear you apart again" thats the guy who put 2 past you on the night Very one sided game and if it wasn't for some poor town finishing the game would have been over long before you scored your consolation goal.

Pot calling the kettle black with regards to your take on towns audience, take a good hard look at some of the so called "supporters" the chickens attract!!!!!

My take on the crowd issue is that we need to break the duck and win some significant silverwear before the crowds start coming back. Both Huddersfield clubs seem to get everyones expectations up then knee us in the b$$$$$s leading to disapointment and false dawns, hopefully 2013 will be a different story

Thats the singing section - best part of being an away fan at a town match is watching that lot watching us for 90 minutes..and turning round right quickly when there is a cheer from the crowd on case they miss something. Very entertaining at times.

Until the shares issue is resolved, we're going to hover around 5,000-7,000. Those non-existent town fans garner much support.

Truth.
