Tin roofs or souless football stadiums, you can still get soaked in both.

You quote those numbers as though they're something to be proud of ?
We're only a "small" club and there were 1200-1500 at Widnes (and it was on telly)
You big club followers should be taking 2.5k minimum, especially when its only 20 mins away  |

Excellent timing, just excellent. I hope it pours i'll be there with a "top of the range" raincoat on if so.  |

At 3 of those 4 grounds you can opt to sit/stand under cover 
And yes I am aware Wakefield before the new roof did have a covered seating area, but this thread is a joke as it is so why bring facts into it? 
Anyone else also find it quite funny how he's bragging about those low crowd numbers as being good? |

Spend another quid and sit in the covered stand. |

I'm not sure this covered lark is all it's cracked up to be; I sat under a Grade A roof at Hull FC on Sunday and got bloody soaked.

Only under the new stand, elsewhere it will be cold wed and windy, especially if you are from Huddersfield/Sheffield

Cas is 3 sides covered.
Yes we do complain about the pother three as i have got soaked at all 3 of them in the past.
You do realise that modern day fans often who take their kids to away games may avoid certain grounds due to such things as no seating, high prices and whether the stands are covered if the weather is bad 
It is good though that you are covering the stands and i hope you get a new ground soon then instead of me coming along by myself i will enjoy taking the kids.
I enjoy trips to wakey and all the banter and cannot wait until the kids can enjoy it as well. |

It's a wonder there are any of us alive and well enough to post on here at all, having endured the harrowing physical and mental torture of being taken to games by our dads in the middle of winter, and forced to stand on uncovered terraces in the wind, rain and snow. I don't know how I made it through myself. I'm just glad the kids of today aren't as unfortunate as we were...

You have never brought 1200/1500 to our place !! lets see how many Giants fans turn up on Sunday ?? Anyone care to bet me it will be under 100 ?? Should be loads of you as the general wakey opinion is 10 to 30 which is ridiculous !!
My bet is 100 + fans and Huddersfield to win any takers ??

Behave! I beleive it was 2007 or 2008 when we made a cracking start to the season, we sold out the then Pink Link stand on a Friday night. I remember the stewards having to remove the pink link signs at either side of the stand that covered the seats so we could all sit down.
We did get stuffed that night, but hey there were plenty of us there! |
