Looking forward to the game. should be a good one with Huddersfield seeming a much better team this year. Hopeully there's a good crowd there too with the Giants ST offers and a good away following!

He be a big loss for them. Korkidas will replace him for Sunday.

explain.

the crowd looks better on tv if one side and one end are full. Clever editing makes it look full!

there's always one isnt there ?

well either your trying to troll by suggesting huddersfield STILL get poor crowds or you have had your head buried in ths sand and have failed to notice our average crowds rise up to just below 8,000 !

Jeez, that's twice as many as you took to Twickenham in 2006!!!!!!


A vast improvement.

i'd understand you suggesting that if i wrote it on the giants forum, but i didn't!

as a non-huddrsfield fan you don't have to have your head buried in sand to not know that the average gate at a giants match has increased from 5k to 7k - you might just not care! last time i was there, albeit a few years ago, neither end was used. and if your average attendance is less than 8k, that could still be the case.

and the 'better on tv' explanation, though understandable, doesn't work for games like tomorrow's, and the vast majority of your home games, which aren't on tv.

I think that what we are trying to say Rich is that you don't have to be a Giants fan to realise that we don't get 4000 average attendances anymore. We,ve had a massive drive on marketing and developing youngsters over recent years, hence 15 out of the 17 last week against Catalans were British and last year our average attendance was 8179. I'm not a Saints fan but I know your average last season was circa 10600. It's about following the game and all the teams that are shown on Sky these days. I've never known Saints fans fill the Pink Link stand but if you do tomorrow I will take my hat off and congratulate you. Anyway, come over tomorrow and enjoy the experience and have a good game.

How Saints fans can troll on attendances beggars belief.

Havent you got more important things to worry about than our attendances?

For example, a hooker who is more excited about his pending return in Noel's House Party than playing Rugby League.

A stand off who seems to have left the talented side of his personality back in Australia, Or at the very least one of the bars in King Street.

A prop forward/second rower who is so much of a journeyman he leaves his ruck sack at the side of the pitch?

I could go on.

To whom do you refer with this one?

No I'm old enough to make Cunningham, Long, Gidley and Gilmour youngsters, but wise enough to know that your end is nigh.



Fancy signing a forward who is older than Riddell.

Oh you already have.

Andy Coley, The man is dire beyond belief.

AJ has already had your backside on toast you really don't want me to start do you.

AJ also promised me, you'd be a better side this year, that doesn't seem to be going well so far does it?



If you wish to try defend any of the 3 players I've just mentiond please go ahead.

Have a safe journey over. Get some warm clothes on its a cold one outside!

The end is nigh, the end is nigh. It's all you lot ever have to say, when we lost Newlove, Sullivan, Martyn, Goulding e.t.c The end was nigh but guess what we still went on to win things.

Yeah maybe we have signed a forward that is slightly older, but Puletua can run and doesn't look like he's just been snatched from the local weight watchers meeting to play hooker.

You are getting increasingly tiresome on here. You seem to comment on a lot of Saints related activity.

Puletua will complement a young set of backrowers and offers considerable size and impact, which is an area we needed to improve on.

In terms of the end being nigh....hasn't the end been nigh since the year 2000? Saints will continue at the top end of SL, Wigan are yet to know what it takes to even compete at that level consistently.

hey we aren't all blessed with 20,000 glory hunting big game once a season fans you know !





and we took 12,000 to twickers which was over twice our average crowd at the time

Irony-tastic

Guess you got a bit of a surprise today.

What, the fact that we filled the Pink Lady stand? Good turn out from the S today. Don't know where they came up with a figure of 11,000 though. Didn't hear a peep out of the opposite end all match.

Exactly.



I can't wait to see him running at Tim Smith. He'll flatten him.

Fat Feka would be more of a spectacle to see flattened.
