Young single lad giving parent advice on how late to keep the kids up

Priceless

BTW, Any chance you can come up with one rule about exchanging tickets for stands for next year mate, its been a joke this year.

Not really owt to do with giving parental advice is it. Just fed up of excuses. Thats my opinion live with it!

No you missed my point utterly, my point is why not congratulate the fans that did go, rather than bleating on again about the ones that didnt.

Why not take a leaf out of your examplary book and rather than posting on an internet forum about "pathetic support", go and volunteer to hand out fliers or something.

The more fans a club gets, the more fickle they become. Accept this fact and stop giving them another reason to not bother going.

There were probably a few that were and probably lots that weren't but what's that got to do with it?. Unlike you I don't understand why people stayed away (except those with young children of course). The trouble is when the chips are down there seems to be hardcore of around 3000 ish who've turned up which for a team who finished 4th is really poor. I felt sorry for the players - looking round at the empty seats they must have felt heartened that so many people had not bothered to turn up and show their appreciation for what's been a difficult second half of the season. We have still finished 4th. The bigger debate is without support the team can't flourish and progress, if we can't progress we'll maybe never win anything and we need as many people at games as possible as Ken and the club are trying to do. It must be very frustrating for the club. Maybe some of the people in Huddersfield just are'nt bothered either way - its a shame.

Read my last post.

When the chips were REALLY down there was a hardcore support of 300, not the 3000 that were there last night.

Ah yes the Keighley 32 all draw of 1986 when 303 supporters turned up.So you are saying for a club that finished 4th in Super League in the modern era with massive advances in marketing, media coverage and facilities anything over a crowd over 300 is a bonus?.

No

Im saying that to complain for a section of our fans for not turning up is beneath my contempt.

Section (half).

Fine no worries then.

Edited for correctness (and to stop you getting a sulk on!! )

A steward - manager at the ground told me there was 4,124 fans at the Leeds end of the pitch, including the rest of the leeds fans down the sides this would suggest around 4,500 Leeds fans turned up.

in the 80s i was stood with austin(flying prop) supporting the team i love and i know for a fact both of us have introduced a lot of friends and family into becoming giants fans, but it still doesnt make fridays attendance any less pathetic every reason i have heard for not going are valid, but it doesnt stop me been any less fed up with yet another poor crowd when we have to actually pay on the gate.

Why, exactly, or even vaguely, should people go and spend hard earned money, sometimes quite a lot of money, to watch a team that has by all measures been utterly awful in the last 2-3 months?

Why should they give up their Friday nights to watch a team, that 7 days earlier got utterly, completely and comprehensively smashed out of the park?

If you cant understand why people might choose to stay at home and watch the game on Sky then I really dont know quite what you expect from people.

Ask the Wildcats fans the same question. They managed to get 6,428 through the gates for a game against Crusaders having had 40 points put on them for the 5 weeks previous.

Cos it was one game you might win, and you didn't think you'd have too many more games in Super League after that...
