shocking crowd today! In a way glad it was so low low, less people to wath watch the abysmal performance
Couple of points tho, why link with local am teams, open age games are played sat afternoons so the year they gave all registered players in the southern league free tickets was a pointless exercise
Transport issues! if you want to come you will get there one way or another

People will find a way around transport problems when there's something worth watching.

After the lack of effort against Hull until they were a man down i think a lot of marginal supporters will need to see the team showing they are prepared to roll up their sleeves and show they can compete before coming back. Wire was a bad performance but Hull was unforgiveable and unprofessional. Today was a chance to do that and although there was clearly more effort we were again second best. We badly need a win to get us going. I feel sorry for DH after he has pushed the boat out to get better quality players they are still letting him down.

According to Lenegan, ST holders were counted on the attendance whether or not they showed up. Still the case? I don't know.

One rationale (not one that applied to me today) for a ST holder to swerve a game is that the STs are so cheap that the cost of not using them occasionally is small.

Dire attendance though - nobody could deny that.

And, completely off-topic:
If we can't get a sponsor's name to stick on the shirts, can we please have something? A "V" would be nice but even a panel with some inspiring text would be better than the present appearance.

Hardly the sort of match that would inspire thousands to come through the turnstiles again in London so it probably was a good thing the attendance was small. Very disappointed with the away lot, or lack of them!

dont know why we moan about poor away fans attendances, they bring far more then we ever take to their matches. as for performance, we do so well to get into position for assault on try line and theres nothing but predictable passing down the line. giants probably know what we going to do before we passed. Kaufusi was worth the admission on his own today, LEGEND already just wish other players take a leaf out of his book. why do our forwards always recive the ball static, gotta be running onto the ball at angles, none of that. alot then surely has to come down to coaching, i recall reading fitness chaps page in last programme, dont seem to do alot of field work on practice pitch, might be why we have no clue, set plays.... yeah yeah, takes time to gel, blah blah, well whats pre-season for etc... so rubbish coaching has to play a part, then surely experienced players got to come up to the plate, Powell keeps going on about leaders in the team, errrrr so where are they then, calling the plays if there are any plays, all seems off the cuff to me. i be there again for tigers match, eternal optimist, hopefully they will have had a victory by that time.

I would think Huddersfield brought many more than London bring to Huddersfield.
Also me and my wife coming down by car, it would cost us £85 - £95 inc admission and a meal, don`t know how much car park is, but assuming a £5 it is taking the best part of £100. TOO MUCH

With the exception of two or three clubs, away followings in Super League aren't great.
You estimate that's what it would cost for one game at the opposite end of the country. If those poor buggars have to do it every other weekend as opposed to once a season, it's no wonder they don't travel in numbers.

Agree Giantscorpio. That's how much it cost me to drive up to Hull including the £24 admission at the KC. Luckily kids ST holders are free for away games. The away fans to London only have to do this once a year while the Broncos (& Catalans) lot have to do it 12 times a year. That's why London doesn't travel to many away games as at it's a minimum of £100 per game or well over £1200pa.

Also, it used to be that people would go on a trip to London for the day/weekend, see the sights etc. But now Catalans are in the SL, it's much more attractive for a family weekend down in France than in London. I was a regular visitor pre-06 to London, since then, I haven't turned up because I'd rather save my money and go to France.

Why are you idiots getting all paranoid about your own following? I couldn't care less if you bought 50 or 5000, my only reason for mentioning it was in comparison to the crowd at our St Helens game.

Why are northerners so obsessed with how many supporters they took away? At least if you are Wigan or Leeds its something to be proud of maybe. But when you bring a fleet of taxis like your lot, why bother commenting?

What do you say to our fans who are faced with that every 2 weeks you miserable cretin?

I sympathise with them both.

Classy

There are about 77 more games, 37 of them at "home" before DH leaves....and I can assure you that anything less than 5k average gates by the end of Superleague 19 will see either the club fold or the RFL/SKY having to step in.
