Congrats

Congratulations from Leeds....well deserved

Yep, well done. Makes a refreshing change to have a "new" team at the top.

Congratulations. I always like visiting the stadium and the area. Reminds me of East Lancashire where I live. Well deserved.

Well done Hudds!

Me either, it was a night match and i had school next day ....glad i missed it in a way now

Well I was one of the first to give you congrats.

Now I thought about starting another post but put it on the end here.

Given you've now won silverware, do you think this will improve home attendances?
This isn't 'having a go' or anything.
I'm genuinely mystified why you don't have higher attendances and I am told that the average age of Hudds supporters is higher than for most teams.

You've got a great stadium and now a team that has delivered but it does make me wonder what's necessary to change this scenario.

Any ideas?

No idea Fez, we will all be there whatever, your question needs to be asked to the public of Huddersfield and the surrounding areas as they are the only ones who can improve our crowds.

been done to death really, various reasons why our crowds are poor.maybe they will improve now that we have won something and also the shares issue has caused a lot of resentment.
but other than that, 4 generations of support lost is not going to come back overnight, but hopefully we will improve next year.
as for the stadium, yes its great but its too big for us and sometimes hinders us I think.would rather have our own cosy 10-12,000 ground that is 2/3rds full than a 1/4 empty john smiths.

I think the profile of the whole game needs to rise before Hudds attendance start to rise significantly.

Yep , the way the sport is run is a joke, and baloo just showed exactly how much of a joke by the team he fielded - who can blame him!
If instead of all the prize money being decided by four games at the end of the season they spread it out based on final position then we'd see a better brand of rugby every week and none of the "play when it matters" rubbish.

That's what I've said for a while split the money based on league positions, the chairmen won't stand for finishing low down if it means a lot less money.
League for the clubs and chairman and Playoffs and GF for the sponsors, Sky and the fans.
