Are you sure you are not new to RL and being a Hudds fan?
The quantity of you attendences has always been ridiculed.

and all I said to my wife was 'That piece of halibut was good enough for Jehovah

I've said it before and I'll say it again.

There's a very good reason for Huddersfields poor crowds, (and to be fair, they've been building steadily until this season when everone's crowds are down, they averaged more than us last year) a champion team in the fifties and then awfully run, going bankrupt several times and nearly out of existence for the next thirty five years.

They lost at least two generations of new fans during that period and were virtually starting from scratch in the early nineties.

Most of us were either around in the early eighties or have parents that were there. I'm not from an RL family but was taken with my Mum, Dad and Sister from about the age of seven as we were a successful club. Huddersfield didn't have that.

These things take time to build, sure they're not moving as quickly as they'd like but they've probably got a decent solid following of at least four and a half thousand.

I think one thing that works against them is the size of their stadium, you don't really need a season ticket if you know you can just rock up and be guaranteed a decent seat. I'd think twice about geting a season ticket if the East Stand held six thousand and I knew I could just pick and choose my games and get in.

Also, haven't their season ticket prices reverted to normal this season?

In the past when they were heavily discounted I personally know of a previously non RL person who bought one for him and son because it was something to do together on a Sunday afternoon. That was about four seasons ago and they've renewed ever since, including this year at full price.

It's easy to sit on the sidelines and point and laugh.

Does anyone know if the kids are on again before the main event?

Really enjoyed watching them the last couple of home games and I'll probably come over a bit earlier if they're on.

Yeah, 5:15pm, something like that.

5:45

Well you've let yourself down there Sandra. You can't be a real Hull KR fan as we are all workshy and visit the dole office every other week.

Number nnnnnn nineteen is a certain Paul Hardcastle

Does the h at the end of your name stand for Hardcastle, Dave?

good post...

its right we have lost a generation of fans, the 18-30 age, mainly due to those awful years of finishing bottom every year then being relegated. But we are building slowly now, and every clubs attendances are struggling this season.

anyway ill be there tonight as always!! come on you Giants, those moaning about the view can go side on stop moaning and support your team.

With respect, you finished bottom of SL, we went down to the third tier and have managed to regenerate a greater amount of support for our period of mediocrity in SL so that cannot be the sole reason

Hello Brearley, see you there lad.

I agree with some of this but that wasn't the point I was making. Hudds have always had the rise taken out if them over their fan numbers so saying it is only because they are now good means you are either blinkered or new to RL surely.

I will say however that Huddersfield Giants are second and pushing for top spot and Huddersfield Town are hardly pulling up tree's so if not now then when?
Huddersfield always comes across as a dreary place (As does Hull to folks from elsewhere no doubt) and the Giants are a brilliant good news story in that local area and still only get 5,200 for a Monday night game?
