I am not justifying myself not being there but i live in hull so it can be quite expensive for myself to travel to the playoff games, i am a season ticket holder since i was 13. Even when i moved to hull 10 years ago i still bought my pass and travelled back every other weekend for the home games, but unfortunatly i couldnt afford the 50/60 pounds it would cost me to attend this game, was i expecting as win? No is the answer but they did me proud all the same, roll on next season!!

It's not you, its the people sat in pubs that annoyed me.

I have to agree - really poor support - and pretty embarrassing actually. I arrived 30 mins prior to kick off and very few sat around me - few more turned up before start (some Giants who normally do not sit there) but many less than you should expect for a PO game.

I went not expecting to win - but when the team constantly allows the opposition to race out in front then those elusive cupos will never be ours.

So frustrated this year after a good start - a decent 4th place finish - ending the top Yorkshire side in the table - and then the season fizzling out with the truly poor 47-0 at Wire and then the Leeds loss.

Never mind - I will be there next year again - It will be ours ONE DAY!!!

There were unbelievable scenes at huddersfield train station after the match. I was one of the fortunate ones that made it onto the 10.15 train and then watched in disbelief as the Child Cruelty squad herded the unfortunate parents and kids off the platform straight into waiting vans. There were reports from the next carriage that 4 or 5 children turned into pumpkins right in front of their parents eyes on the stroke of 10.30.
You did it for the kids jools, i'm proud of you.

My kids go- the only place they have never been is Leeds cause of the rhino kids who swear and spit at opposition fans, and wakey cause they would see even less than I do.not all parents want their kids up till all hours. I respect their decision and wouldn't dream of telling them how to parent their kids. I'm not that arrogant.

i agree with the op our crowd was pathetic last night, couldnt believe how we had over 10k for a meaningless fixture a fortnight since against the same team and last nights turn out for a game that meant summat was so poor, dont buy the poor form excuse because the majority of fans at home matches only go to home games where our form has been excellent all season, its more to do with watch it in the pub mentality thats prevalant in town, i passed 4 pubs on the way to the match all advertising our match live here of which i also saw giants fans i know going in and that was 15 minutes before kick off.

i also know 7 people who didnt go cos working which is fair enough, never really understood the kids issue on a friday night, no school sat morning so whats the problem, always took my daughter and there was 6 kids under 10 sat round me, we moan about town but in big games their fans ALWAYS turn up. luckily for us the rhinos support was very good again more so than the last match.

Work in west London, so just can't make Friday nights. There are a few like me! Saw all play off games last year, fed up with scheduling!

Feel really sorry for the die-hards on here who go whatever. Surely there must be a time looming when Mr Davy says that's it. The guy forks out a fortune to improve Hudds and then subsidises the season tickets to encourage the fans, yet as soon as it comes to having to put your hand in your pocket a lot of your fans choose to watch in pub and spend their money not supporting the team. The guy must wonder what more he has to do.

I just get annoyed with people from Huddersfield. They go down and watch 3rd Division Football in droves, but top division rugby? Nothing. But one day, we will get our crowds to return. I hope.

No you're quite right jools. I've even heard stories of northeners taking their kids down to wembley when they know full well how late they're gonna be getting back home. I remember when my dad first took me to wembley, hull v hull.k.r early eighties, the biggest cup final for years,the one you couldn't get a ticket for. Unfortunately the one thing that sticks in my mind is how late we got back home. I was mentally traumatised and never fully recovered. I'm sure when fartown got their a couple of years ago the parents didn't go in order to protect their kids from a late night. They'll thank their parents in years to come.

I think I'm right in saying that attendances for all play off matches were well down on regular season attendances across the board. But of course it's Fartown alone who are pilloried for suffering a similar drop in gate as everyone else who took part in the playoffs... typical.

I think it's a real shame that the huddersfield fans didn't turn out, i was also disappointed with the Leeds crowd versus hull. It's a pity that such a great sport doesn't attract the numbers at this stage of the season when teams need them the most. What i don't accept are the ridiculous excuses that all the kids were tucked up in bed etc therefore huddersfield only had 3000-3500 supporters at the game,absolute tosh. For all Leeds didn't turn up in great numbers the previous round, their support last night was fantastic and there's no doubt in my mind they had a massive influence on the result. Our coach praised the support from the Leeds fans, it's a crying shame that Nathan Brown couldn't say the same. I've never been able to get my head round the fact that fans are not prepared to back their team after a long hard season has got them to within 2 games of competing for the biggest prize in the game. It's not just huddersfield, it's across the board.
