Yea, TBH, I thought there would be 10k at least today.

Well done Huddersfield it sounded like a cracking little game

Full time whistle goes. 26-20 Giants.

Leeds unable to build any real pressure in the Huddersfield half in that second half. Let the Giants off the hook a few times with penalties

You were only 2000 out never mind.

Im just quoting the attendance given by the Yorkshire radio commentary thanks

Yorkshire Radio did also say it was a decent crowd today, and then announced the actual attendance and I spat my drink out laughing



Fair credit to the Fart Owners though. Beating Leeds puts them on a par with Wakey and Cas.

radio Leeds said 10,116

8,106 Radio Leeds said.

That may well have been the case, But I was listening to Yorkshire radio and they announced 8116.

I myself was a tad surprised. I was confident a fixture like this one would have drawn 10k+, and I am glad it has!

Huddersfield are playing some great rugby at the moment, and I hope for their sake, the people of Huddersfield keep turning out in force!

After all, Its great for the game eh!

Aye I thought I heard them say that too

Yea, im pretty certain they did announce that figure, but I hope that it was in fact wrong, and their were more there today!

Am I right in saying that the same fixture last year pulled a crowd of 10k+ ?

10K attendance according to the SL website.

10,116 announced at the game.

Best away following of the season today.

I know about 6 regulars who didn't go today .... Myself included, for various reasons.

It's Mother's Day for starters.

Glad to hear it. The Giants performances have warranted 5 figure crowds!

Think the Yorkshire radio commentary team need their ears cleaning!

The attendance was clearly posted on the scoreboard. They must need glasses too.

Got beat again by the better side. Turning point was at 20-18 when McGuire dropped the ball trying to score. They picked the ball up, went 40 metres, won a penalty and scored from the next set.

when the 'our crowd is bigger than your crowd' thing kicks off please minus two off the Leeds attendance as my Brother In Law and nephew sat move to the away end as they are Leeds fans / Giants ST holders. I claim them on the Giants
figures!

what???

Bugger

That*s what heard said too mate,thought it seemed a bit low but like has been said Mother*s Day....My answer is Take them to the game

Very Very clever Sherbert mi old dip, mock the attendance to take the thoughts away from how the Rhino's were beaten by a far better team on the day, The Rhino's scored two tries on the back of harsh penalties from Silverwood for holding down, which the Rhino's did exactly the same all game.

When we have a league table for attendance rather than on pitch performance we will struggle due to all the glory hunters leaving us in days gone by, as it is the league is not about the folks sat in the stands!!

Other teams have strengthened quite a bit and the Rhino's will have to be on top form to win games, The Giants defence was awesome today and with a little more clinical finishing and no intervention from the fool with the whistle and we would have been out of sight by halftime.

It's great to turn up and see the Giants beat teams like Leeds and it's just another 2 points not a massive acheivement, the way we are playing these are the games we should be winning if we are to push on from last season.

Well done Giants on a very complete performance

Your both quite right, I misheard the announcement and wasn't able to put it right until after the hooter when someone corrected me.

>Inserts holding hand up to take the blame smiley<

Don't worry about it pal, most people concentrate on the score, not the attendance.

Didn't hear the commentary - do you do it on podcasts so I can listen to it later on?

Not a bad game. Edge of the seat stuff up until the hooter. Just about a fair result. Hudders looked good in the first quarter and played some inventive stuff. Also Andy Raleigh picking a fight with Ali was the funniest thing I've seen since Rob Burrow attacked Jamie Thackray!

You could see the grimace on his mush as they landed. Even his own players were peeing themselves laughing at him. Onwards and upwards!

Don't worry about it - Sporting Life had the full time (Result) score at 22-20 to Leeds even when there was still 15 minutes to play
