With 10 mins to kick off i thought it was going to be alot worse come kick off but the Antich filled up radily in that 10 mins. Our 3 kids couldn't go last night as it was our ex's weekends for them, but I can also imagine a few people looking at the weather and thinking 'sod that i'll watch it on tv'. There was still over 5000 Giants fans there for a Friday evening in the rain and on tv which is better than how many would have turned up for us a few years ago on a Sunday afternoon in the sun. Big raps for those of us who got off our backside to turn up and support the lads.

I take it you never watched rugby in the winter era then? I've stood in far worse conditions than that to support my team, I'd much rather watch live rugby than watch it on the telly.

Was a terrible journey over and home for us lastnight, heavy rain and spray on the motorway not much fun, yet when we got home there'd been no rain at all in Hull.

Though you deserved your win tonight, we seemed void of all ideas at times and you made us work very hard defensively.

LOL you're talking to someone who's 65 and watched rugby league all his life

just over 1000 HKR last night which means it is a pretty poor showing from our supporters,
but saying that, friday night,on sky,pi$$in it down, did we expect anything else really from our JCL's?

You have also got to remember in the "winter era" there wasnt the coverage on Sky Sports there is now and people are all for the easier life...stay home, warm, dry with a beer and your feet up with close ups on the TV or go out and get cold and wet...some people just opt for the easy option. Thats the way it is these days. I dare say had it been sunny and Sunday afternoon then more fans from KR would have come across but Friday nights on TV are a killer on crowd numbers for everyone.

I agree 3 or 4 years ago we would have been well happy with that crowd for a Friday evening game in the wet. I suppose it just shows the progress the club has made though, that we expect so much more.

Live in West London so can't do Fridays, would have made Sunday. There will be more like me who struggle with Friday. Great win. Thought it would be tougher!

It isn't.
You will never get all ST's attending at the same game for lots of reasons - about 10 of which have already been mentioned on this thread.
Good following from HKR considering on Sky, Friday night and weather.
Well done to all who attended - we were treated to a good game of TGG.

Bore off, will you. You're preaching to the converted.

Nothing to him cos he was there. But i can imagine some people not wanting to venture out on a wet night.

I know a few people who couldn't go due to working evenings, but would have gone on Sunday or Saturday.

Thought it was a decent turnout, last weekend in the sun, BBC camera's, Sunday afternoon and 2300 Cas fans and we had less in the home end than last night.

Thought it was a decent turnout.

The usual Huddersfield post match courtesy I'm not preaching to anyone, I thought I was just discussing the attendance, I know people who couldn't be there lastnight due to work. I don't think the weather would have affected the number of Rovers fans who travelled over. It just seems a shame that you've got such a nice stadium yet it is only a fraction full. There's no doubt your board are doing their best to get bums on seats by doing cut price deals, but at the end of the day maybe that has an adverse affect with people thinking ah well it's raining, if I don't go I've not lost much.
