To be fair, it's a very long journey for the taxi to make...

I find it hard to believe you know what a crowd is, unless you go to a lot of away games.

At a guess I'd say that we still had an average attendance of around 15,000
That is quite an achievement in this tough economic climate, also considering that we are currently watching a side that will almost certainly finish out of the top 5 in SL for the first time since 1997, and one which has lost 10 SL games thus far this season

I'd hazard a guess that your lot are pulling in around 7,000 fans
But you are watching a side that will finish in the top 4 four,
although only for the 2nd time during that same timeframe



I know which dwindling crowd i would prefer

Guess who's got the best average so far this season, and i'll give you a clue - it isn't Wigan

I'll give you one more, it is Wigan

Is the super league stats table wrong then ?

Bradford?

1. Wigan
2. Leeds
3. Bradford

10.Huddersfield

Where have you got your stats from mate?

yeh our average attendance is just shy of 15,000 upto now.

Our crowds are down 1.8%

Yours are down 3.5%.

I'd be more worried about your minute crowds being down so much.

7,131 average for a 'big team'. Behave. Only thing big about the Giants is their stadium. Too big infact...

Because Leeds haven't played Quins, Salford or Hudds away yet?

LOL seeing big time wannabes Huddersfield in such company.

Attendance-wise, Huddersfield are SL rabble.

Current form might suggest they could get pipped for a Top 4 spot and remain SL rabble full stop.

I just wish TVOC had put him money where his statistics are.

Leeds will win another SL title before Huddersfield win their first, however long it might take us to get back on course.

Well, if you take the average home attendence of those three and the average home attendence of Hull and Warrington (Wigan's last two away games) and add those into the numbers it does make a difference, but not quite enough to put Wigan ahead. The actual number after the games themselves may be different of course, but apparantly (according to one of the many bragging threads we had after their crushing defeat of us at the Piedome) they travel with a massed army the size of Xerxes Persian hoards, and our fans all travel in a the back of a Vauxhall Cavalier.

If only that had been the basis of the bet on offer at the time.

You could well have been 50p richer at some point in the distant future ..... I'm sure we'll both survive without it, albeit only just in my case.

I'm sure the bet I offered was equally as fair.

PS, is it OK to be dismissive of Huddersfield today?

Wouldn't it be nice if every SL club were formed in big a city with a population of around 5 million? Back in the real world......

Leeds is a massive city club with huge income streams that most clubs could only dream of.

In all fairness the Rhinos away support is pretty poor these days considering the size of our fanbase. 'Smaller' clubs should be applauded for trying to build their support as it isn't as easy for most in comparison to Leeds'.

Some of you guys have lost track of the reality of the situation.
