Quote: moggie "Games are won on the pitch and not by how many fans you have. We've come a long way in a relatively short space of time and are now Yorkshires top club. We just need to win a Challenge Cup or get to the Grand Final and hopefully the crowds will come. We've been unlucky due to the early success of Bradford in SL then Leeds taking away fans from us as at that time we were a very poor team.'"


Yorkshire's top club?? Haha. That's priceless.

Don't let your league position for the last couple of years fool you. You can't possibly class yourself as being bigger or better than Leeds until you start winning trophies.

Hkr have had a shocking season, but still average more than your crowds. I really feel sorry for Davy. Flogging a dead horse.

When do Leeds play again in the play offs just remind me? I take it going off your statement that Bradford are better than us too due to them winning trophies?

You've got 2 SL clubs in your city with nothing else around, we've got quite a few SL clubs and also plenty of other RL teams on our door step. Winning nothing for years and coming up from the old division 3 hasn't helped our cause. Win something important and they will come.

No, because they haven't won trophies for a long time. Leeds have.

I don't accept that at all. Here in Hull we have two pro SL sides plus a premiership football team averaging nearly 45,000 fans together. Rovers averaged less than 3000 before superleague. Imagine if we had a season like Castleford had this year. There would be two rugby teams in hull averaging over ten thousand. Your team, stadium and your owners input deserve so much more support from the Huddersfield area.

nope, nothing apart from a Premier League football club icon_lol.gif

Being fair to Hudds, there are no away fans, and you are the best performing Yorkshire team. The problem is, you lost an entire generation of fans to Huddersfield Town during your lean years, and you don't just pick those supporters back up again.

When do Leeds play again this season? If, and it's a big if we win or reach the GF what does that make us? Still little old Huddersfield living in the shadows of that mighty city where Leeds Rhinos come from?

Around the area you've got Huddersfield Town, Halifax, Bradfird and Leeds to go along with the teams over the Pennines like Man Utd and City etc to go with all of the local RL teams. The crowds thing has done its death on here, yes we get low crowds but from where we've come from the crowds are massive and at the moment have platoed out. Win something and they'll start to build. I know plenty of people from the surrounding areas who go to Leeds, Bradford and Halifax week in week out and would've been fartowners if we had a team that was any good a good few years ago before Davy got involved.

You could look at it another way. Yes, you have plenty around you, but then you've a bigger catchment area than say, Hull. The giants have had a good enough team now for these last few years that your crowds should be bigger. I know it's been done to death, but when games like tonight are being aired live, it's hard not to comment.

Quote: Northern Boys "Why arn't you at the game?'"


I now live in Dunblane, Scotland so it's a near 600 mile round trip to go there. I'd much rather save my money in the hope of a Grand Final appearance. Went last week to Wigan though and fitted in the Town game too along with all the normal family catching up.

I went to Wigan last week and there were plenty of giants fans there but not many Wigan fans like they usually get. Huddersfield are easy targets for the people who want to knock the crowds. We need to win something of note to get them in. Maybe the down fall of Bradford and an upturn in our fortunes may change that.

No. But you're missing the point. You can't class yourselves as the top club in Yorkshire when you have nothing to show for it. All you've done is finish above Leeds a couple of times and win 1 League Leaders Shield. You are unbelievably deluded if you genuinely think you're the top club in Yorkshire.
