Classic diversion tactics.
You obviously don't like hearing some home truths, but long term you aren't going to maintain a decent team with these type of attendances.

| You seem to be under the delusion that this is something unknown to us
Any suggestions on how crowds can be grown?
I'm sure any club would love to hear your silver bullet solution to a game spanning problem

Fair enough.
Just looking at some other posts it seemed some of your fans were burying their head in the sand. almost a ''f*ck them they don't know what they're talking about'' attitude.
I don't have answers unfortunatley, but that's not my job. Huddersfield have people payed to do this and from what i can see they aren't doing their job very well at all. A winning team doesn't take alot of selling.

| Sorry for being short but the weather and this argument going on ad-nauseum is getting to me
If our fans have a "fk em" attitude then it's simply borne out of frustration of this stick being used to beat us over and over again, as if we are unaware of the problem
Some of us were "the few" when the club played in front of 300 and nearly ceased to exist, and so this is just a blip in the climb to being a top club again.
We are top of the league but people still say "when will the wheels come off"
Finish top and the crowds will come back I am sure.

Your team Leeds and the Bulls took a lot of our support when we were dire. They take a lot of pulling back. But it amazes me when I see your crowds watching a lower grade game when they could come and watch us.
Is it a way of getting back at us after thrashing you 3 times this season ??.
And it was 5730 not 5000.

| The attitude from fans on here comes from hearing the same old story, the majority of fans on here go to games religiously, bring anyone they can convince and appreciate how good a team we have at the moment. You are complaining to the converted.
We have a chance to win some form of silverware for the first time in decades which is a huge deal to the band of loyal fans on here, it really is something special to fans of huddersfield and something we are all proud of, its like people are trying to have a go because we dont have as many fans as others, it disappoints us as much as anyone but it is irrelevent to the fact that we are challenging for honours. I could understand if teams got an extra point for hitting 10k every game, but its totally irrelevent and unfair for this to be the talking point when a team tipped to miss the top eight this year is currently sitting top with 5 games to go!
Don't get me wrong, i dont think this season is over, i think Warrington will have a big say in the final league standings, but for one week let us enjoy the small amount of hope and glory we feel without finding the same old reason to put us down!

| Delighted to see a Yorkshire team at the top. There's no way we can win it and there's no way I want to see Leeds win it. You've been the best team this side of the Pennines this season, so make sure you're still top after the last game.
Well done!!

This is what I don't understand about other fans knocking you lot for your attendances. You'll be delighted to hear that I'm not going to hold those 5000-6000 people who keep turning up responsible for the (in)actions of all the people who don't. Because that would be pretty stupid.
I do find it sad that more people can't be bothered to turn up to watch a team playing really good RL and being successful. You can't fix the problem overnight though.

I cant even begin to believe how that sounds after all the years of crap we have put up with. those days when we were losing to Trafford, chorley,bramley etc we could only imagine playing wigan, but now we have a chance to go there and just about seal the league championship!
lets hope the club and the sponsors push this game every day and get our end packed, lets all push this game, but most importantly lets bloody beat Salford!!!!!'"
I see what you did there.
But as we all know, whether we like it or not, the champions are crowned at Old Trafford in October.
Since you still look at least close to being the best team (Wire are in good nick at the moment) in the league going into August, there's obviously no reason to suggest that you can't do that. But I'm going to indulge in a spot of hypothetical musing.
If you won the LLS, but then (hypothetically) failed to back it up by winning the championship, how would you reflect on that? Progress and pleased at the bit of silverware, or frustrated at a missed opportunity?
I'm always curious about attitudes to the LLS. It still seems an afterthought to me, but people do still seem to get very excited about it. I migth even go so far as to say that over the last 2 years Wire and Wigan have got excited about it and shot their bolt too early pursuing a red herring (or silver dish, more accurately).

| The Grand Final always feels forced to me, and it's only about the two teams involved
Winning the LLS is a test of consistency and endurance over the season, the fact Sky have downplayed it for years (as they have the challenge cup) in no way diminishes its importance

| Winning any game was a bonus when a lot of us started watching so forgive us for getting a little happy over the fact that we could and are very close to actually finishing a season as the highest team in the country and winning something for that achievement. I dont particularly care 'how important' or 'how highly regarded' the said piece of silverware is, if we win it we have earnt it.

What's to forgive? I asked for opinions. I also gave mine, but I'm not really into insisting that other people share my opinions.
I hope you do finish top. And you'd be my 2nd choice to win the Grand Final as well. Yorkshire club, lots of English/British players. Ticks all the boxes for me.
Obviously I'd rather Leeds won, but I may be a little biased.

| I think the LLS shield is slightly devalued by the emphasis that is put on the play-offs. They are, for me, two different achievements that deserve just rewards in their own rights. That doesn't necessarily have to be monetary or titles, but more of a reward in the play-offs would be a start.
I also think with the 8 team structure, the whole play-offs and thus Super League has been slightly devalued. The teams that scrape 7th and 8th might not win half of their league games this season - is that a team that deserves to be in the play-offs? Not for me. When we go back to twelve teams, the play-offs needs to be less than half of the league. You could have the top five, give the LLS a buy through the first round and have three rounds of (potentially) high intensity rugby league.
In short, I agree with the winners of the play-offs being crowned champions; but I think the LLS deserve more than a hub cap and home tie plus the potential horror of picking their next opponent.

| What if we win the GF and finish 3rd in the LLS tournament, will we be saying the GF doesn't count??
Both are good things to win, the GF is the holy grail for me, but if we was to win the LLS and no guarantee we'll win either, it's a good statement of intent, certainly for our club.
Anyway it doesn't matter as we're a disgrace, Im going down the fish mongers later to get a wet kipper to thrash myself with, such a disgrace I am!!
