| It was a poor crowd but it is about 200 up on the same fixture last season.
We are on the UP.
I think that if we had won last week it would have ben even better. the other thing ius that the way the fixtures were with lots of other games on Sky there were less floating fans.
About 30% of our season ticket holders do not attend evening games. If that had been a 3 o' clock kick off there would have been another 500 to a 1000 on the gate.
My 3 kids did not go with it being an evening KO. that equates to 3 out of 10 from our family group.
I think that people need to look atthe demographics of our support. I am only making assumptions here on but it is based on comments from the club.
We have lost two generations of RL fans due to us being very poor through the 80s and 90s. a lot of them would have been kids who would be in their late teens, twenties and Thirties. these are the people who do not mind evening Kos and fit it in with a night out on the town.
It often sems to me compared to other teams fans that a lot of our fans are 40+, Women or young kids with their parents. These are the groups who are less likely to go to evening games. I think that this is what really harms us for evening KOs.
In 10 years time hopefully our demographics wil change in a way that resolves this problem. But for now we need SUNDAY afternoon KOs.

| Giants home games against Catalans:
2006 4,017
2007 4,313
2008 4,071
2009 5,823
2009 4,263 play off on SKY
last night 5,926
For the team and facilities we have it should have been better but on average it's showing a steady increase over the years.

I always assumed because, due to the amount of Methodist chapels in the area, Good Friday has never been a traditional holiday in Huddersfield. Certainly when I used to work for a manufacturing company we always got Monday and Tuesday off and not Good Friday.

Pity your announcer didn't do the same the other week, when we had the ball your announcer would have had to talk for 80 minutes, ping there goes another score
