Nah, nah, nah. Some people leave simply because they've lost and can't handle watching or they've lost and think there's no point in risking missing my coach/train/taxi (which they would have risked had they won) or simply are on too tight a schedule to stay longer. Finals are big events and most people leave quickly after being the losing side at a final (some leave quickly after winning it too!). Only the die hards or people with stronger nerves/emotions stick with the team when they have lost. If you let go the fans who leave on the button then you'll generally wave goodbye to the majority of your fanbase, and that aint wise for any club!

Good post. I met you at the hull fc away game a week before the semi final! I told you i lived in hull (hudds born and bred tho) At last another giants fan who is proud of their team and not finding other things to moan about i.e the crowd singing! C'MON THE GIANTS

Ok last thing about this from me on here. All I can say is that from the start until the end even I was in awe of the Warrington fans, the colour and the noise they generated...they treated the occassion like it should be treated. It was wasted on us. Fair play Warrington and chin up Giants, at least we can look forward to pasting Celtic next week.

where i was sat we were chanting on and off throughout the game, and to be honest everybody around me were doing the same, and also to be honest other than a few occasions i couldnt hear the wire fans either, cant see any point in bagging the fans who went to wembley at all and whatever anybody says the start of the game was a massive anti climax, when we drew level the support was great in my area but obviously cant speak for elsewhere, but once we went 18 - 6 down it died a death. fair play to wire fans and ours i thought it was a great day just a pity we lost to the better team.

It was fairly noisy at times where I was sat, but then it was probably in one of the most populated areas. It was still nothing like the semi final, but then the circumstances were very different. Part of the problem was we simply did not sell enough tickets, cup fever did not hit Huddersfield in anything like the same way it hit Warrington. The build up was fairly flat here compared to Warrington and perhaps this affected the way the fans were out enthused by the Wire lot from the build up walking up Olympic Way to entering the stadium to cheering and singing as the game went on.

i am not saying im not proud - i was probably one of the proudests people in the whole of that stadium yesterday - i was one of the last Giants fans to leave, i realise not everyone is noisy or likes to sing but surely the point of going to a cup final at Wembley is to support the team.

We were battered in the 1st 15 minutes and our players needed a lift from somewhere, they needed to hear the crowd was behind them and supporting them - but they heard silence as once again our fans - who were quite happy to make noise at the semi final - decided to not bother because the team werent winning.

I dont want this to cause friction between our fans as i know theres some that are quite happy to sit and watch the game in silence, but i am and always have been one of the noisy, passionate fans and i just thought that being at Wembley for a cup final we had a great chance of winning may have encouraged some of the glory hunting/day trippers etc to get behind the side - i was wring and i will just have to accept that supporter wise we will never be in the same league as most other teams which is a damn shame for how far this club has progressed.......

Agree.

All the empty seats for what is/should be THE showpiece of our game were an embarrassment.

No they weren't.

there was loads of empty seats by me in the top tier and huddersfield town kick off at 12.00 agains yeovil an got 13,000 what a joke

I have decided that trying to sing 'Take my hand....' with only 3 voices (mine,Wuzz and Wadski's) was not a very good idea but we did try! Sadly no atmosphere where we were in the upper tier but my goodness the noise from the Wire fans was awesome. Very disappointed with our performance and felt very deflated afterwards, still onwards and upwards, I haven't been to OT for a while, now that would be nice...

Firstly I have to say how proud I was to be there yesterday - it was a honour to see the C+G at Wembley. Fair play to the lads for getting there - lets hope its the first of many Wembley visits.

Everything felt flat from the off to be honest - walking down wembley way felt like a Warrington home game and it was a party that we hadn't been invited to.

I was so deflated after the match (and still am to be honest) and felt as dissappointed by the experience as the match - these days don't come along that often and you've gotta grasp them.

I'm just so pleased that I was at the semi - that was an atmosphere.

I know I'm sounding negative but its just how I feel at the moment I'm afraid - definitely think Daz has made a point that needed to be made.

Anyway onwards and upwards as they say

I was sat behind a couple who were moaning about my pint glass dripping on them when I was standing up to sing abide with me, they were moaning at me standing up and singing behind them, they didn't even stand up for any of the tries! I had to remind them they were at a cup final. I would suggest that if you are offended by atmosphere you should get back to the club wembley seats were you can enjoy your prawn butties in peace.

OMG!!! You were at WEMBLEY!!! It is your calling to make as much noise to gee up your players as you can! For the last 20 of the first half you had Wire run ragged - a bit more noise from you lot at the start of the seconf half COULD have made the difference, could have inspired someone to fill the creative void left by Browns injury.

You should be ashamed of yourself, at least your players gave it their all and never let their heads drop, even if they came up short.

that is the point most of us are trying to make !!
