Having watched us for the last 35 years, these days are golden, we have been truly awful for 30 of them 35 years, ive stood at Fartown with 300 there, i'll take anything now



Our expectations aint as high as yours, we're getting there slowly, you've been spoiled with some fantastic teams to watch over the years, we've gone bust, had name changes, merged, been rubbing rags for 1st 4 years in SL, relegated, come back up.

Be thankful you follow the most succesful side in our game, you certainly wouldnt have stuck it out this long following us

All very fair points and I can totally understand why Huddersfield fans get miffed about the criticism they receive when they have come as far as they have, both on and off the field. I know any criticism I have is more bourne out of wanting a strong SL and wanting clubs to get 10,000+ on a regular basis, especially when they have a quality team life Huddersfield. Huddersfield are slowly getting there, it is just a pity that the Galpharm is so damn big that it still looks empty even when they get a decent crowd.

Huddersfield are going in the right direction in pretty much every area so you can't ask anymore really.

Decades of being in the lower reaches hasn't helped them and they're rebuilding superbly well at the moment.

Can i just ask what kind of atmosphere and build-up was missing ?

not been awkward but we go to watch the game and support our team, do you mean pre match entertainment on the pitch?
atmosphere in the stands ?

Like Gahan says for 99% of our fans - including us old 'fartowners' these are glory days to us and we've never had it better so not sure what was wrong last night.

Win something. Everyone was saying the same about Warrington until their 2009 CC win.

Atmosphere at the galpharm is awful, maybe because of the big stadium empty seats thing, but also because if you look at our support its mainly made up of the older generation and families, we suffer more than most from the lack of groups of younger fans who tend to be the most vocal and boisterous, the vocal wigan fans last night al seemed to to be about 14-20 years of age, we dont have that because of the lost gnerations of supporters when we were in the wildnerness

Got to disagree about all the vocal Wigan fans being 14 - 20 yrs old, the whole stand was joining in and we cover a wide age group, in our group alone 9 - 60's.
I like going to Huddersfield, good facilities, a roof in Yorkshire, pies hot, friendly stewards, we would have got drenched at Bradford, Leeds, Cas, Wakey, Hull KR, last night, one small moan for some reason the PA system is loud but could not tell what was being said.
Keep it up Huddersfield, look forward to the semi final there oh and get the turnstiles open earlier.

I enjoyed all the build up put on by Hudds etc and the atmosphere was electric in our end. Huddersfield did a good job with everything apart from they didnt really do themselves justice on the pitch imo. That will come though and we should be commending Huddersfield for the progress they have made.

I sort of agree with the OP. But, I spent a good few days building up to the game working out where we'd be in the league if results didn't go our way etc. I can't help feeling that if it had been a Stains/Wire/Leeds game i'd have been a bit more excited.

I think the way Huddersfield have to remedy it is to win something and spend a few more years at the top, we're building quite a rivalry with them.

We are progressing on and off the pitch - and in some ways off the pitch is proving tougher hence robbie hp appointment.

Galpharm stadium is a double edged sword with us , but I'll take empty seats for having a premium ground capable of holding internationals and cc semis. It's always better when the opposition fans are so well supported. Posted before match that Wigan at home is my favourite fixture and the Friday night was a good one again , other than result.

Why do keep winning away with each other ....

10k attendance aswell. Considering it was a friday night, the game was on sky and huddersfield town have just got to wembley I was impressed with that. I would love it if Hudds could begin to attract 10k on a regular basis. Then watch the club grow from there.
