Right fellow Giants fans, how can we improve our away support? It is about time we as fans of this club start to take this club forward and one of the main ways we can do this is with our away support. I will be bringing this up at the supporters meeting in a few weeks at the gas club, i am willing to do my bit are you? As many ideas as possible are welcome.

The supporters who go away now are the same bunch who go to them all, if we can influence others to do the same it would be fantastic, we cant use the football excuse anymore, no excuses just ideas. Thanks

We've tried - the people on here go to the games and although there has been a slight improvement i hate to say it but most of our fans will not travel to games unless its a Final or a Semi-Final !!
I know that sounds negative but i dont there is anything we can do to get more people to come !!

I have a never say never attitude so i will stick with it, if you get any ideas Daz let me know. There is always something that can be done.

I would love to see thousands of Giants fans at an away game but i'm realistic and know it wont happen,i have stuck with it for 20+ years now and i've introduced lots of people to the game but we cant make people go !
We could offer coach travel for £1 but it still wouldn't entice people out of their front rooms !

i agree with daz,we have far too many fairweather fans as proved yesterday!

im afraid that as a general rule the people of huddersfield simply arent interested in the giants,we have to make do with what we have im afraid, saying that subsidised travel might be worth a shot,like warrington have been doing, but who would subsidise it?

I will email the club about this, and see how it goes, i am sticking with it and i will keep you updated on how i get on. I like the idea of giving vouchers in season tickets for free/money off away travel.

even free tickets dont seem to have had any effect, good luck tho

All about advertisment if we can sort that out we will move on, cheers.

In that case the club may as well fold now.

|All this talk of Huddersfield being a football town is not something i buy into. If you can get kids early enough they will be bored stiff going to a football match. What you need to do is to make the Rugby an attractive proposition to kids ( and parents) in a non playing sense.ie what goes on in and around the ground rather than on the pitch.

I have given loads of ideas on how this can be done and it is up to the club and the SUPPORTERS to do it.

Win some silverware

Who would be interested in actually doing something about it then?

The fans we want to turn up?

The club.

Im a blackpool panthers fan and we cant get fans to home games, never mind away games !!! Think yourselves at hudderfield lucky, from the posts at least you have people that care. Any ideas welcome to boost our crowds as club dont do anything to do it so up to us fans.

To get more fans to attend the away games the team needs to start beating the top teams away week in week out and stop the silly away losses we seem to get every season. A trophy in the cabinet wouldn't go amiss too.

How many times have you attended an away fixture you think should be a Fartown banker and end up coming back down the motorway thinking just what might have been. That will put off the fair weather away fan. You go to away games first and foremost to see your team win and over the last decade we have not done it too consistantly. The best time watching Fartown on the road was in the old 2nd division before we first got into SL. We used to have at least half the crowd at quite a few of the games and the atmosphere was electric. We used to win alot more games than we lost and the fans backed the team in numbers. If we start to be consistant on the road regular then the fans who travel away will pick up.
