Thought it was a good turnout considering the time and weather, did notice that there weren't as many kids there so obviously the usual families didnt turn out last night but over 7,000 shows that some people had decided to give it a go.

V Crusaders - 5,869
V Catalans - 4,263

Would hope that with it being elimination next week we would beat both of those .

Brough ran through two huge holes without a defender touching him. He took the line on just once when he was tackled. HTH.

5,000 £10 tickets and just 7,100 turn up? God help you if Cats win at hull tonight!!

Don't worry about our crowds, 7.1K for a Thursday night game which was no an elimination round was pretty good IMO especially as people have to work nights and can't rearrange the work at short notice.

Its the RFL who need to re-think this play off marketing piece, we play again next Thursday, yet we don't know who and won't know until end of Saturday, leaving 5 days for people to make arrangements.

It's even worse if your an away fan.

They need to have a clearer play off structure so games can be properly advertised, dates and times agreed well in advance.

Last nights fixture had about 5 working days to sell the tickets, we didn't know when we were playing until late on, was it Thursday, Friday, or Saturday.

Yeah we certainly should was just thinking where the bench mark would be! Think crowd would be best boosted by the visit of hull FC! The hardest of the three probably attract a few more of our lot and think they would bring a few more than hull kr although kr would bring a good amount! Just not Catalans come over to sunny Huddersfield for a Thursday night game doubt it

we finish top and now after losing one game have to do it the hard way... somethings not right here! the team that finished 4th gets and easier passage? needs a overhaul this playoff garbage.

In the event that you were to play us (Hull) you can be rest assured that we'd put Wigans support from last night to shame.

Good, should be knocking on nearly 4k then if you are to put it to shame.

It wouldn't have been garbage if you had won. Tell me how have the 4th placed team had an easier passage?

no because we had won the league and deserve the easier passage..

wigan now are rewarded for finishing 4th for winning one game.. but thats how its setup so hey ho

Wigan aren't rewarded for finishing 4th, they're rewarded for going away from home to the league leaders and taking their advantage from them. There are big flaws with this play-off system, but that, IMO, isn't one of the biggest. I suppose you can argue that your advantage was too easy to blow, but you still had it, you blew it. I'm not saying that to be provocative, but that's how play-offs work.

I liked the top 5 play-offs better. But that's a story for another time.

You had the 'easier' passage but blew it. By the way no-one has won the GF from fourth.
