Well, I sort of look ahead of me.
Quote ="jools"For one due to the weather most people had their shirts covered so from my view in the stand you couldn't tell who was who'"
Didn't you notice that they tend to clap and jump up and down and stuff at directly opposing things?
Quote ="jools"-the other thing is unlike many others we don't go in what you class as the "away" end when we come to odsal- we tend to spread out all over. '"
Well, if any were hiding behind cars or buildings, I'll concede I couldn't see them.
Quote ="jools"You sent us just 500 tickets- people had to be turned away from our ticket office because we sold out of them -FACT. '"
Except that f you'd asked, you could've had another 10,000 or more. FACT. You got what you asked for. FACT. You didn't ask for any more. FACT. This was because you asked for the number you presumed you could sell. FACT.
=#0080FF[size=85Rule 724.1b: Whenever people say "FACT", they are invariably either taking the p., or losing an argument - FACT[/size.
Quote ="jools"I think 700-800 is a very reasonable following. '"
I expect you probably do. That seems to be the trouble, if you think about it. And I am not disrespecting those who attended in any way. The only point in all this is the delusion many Shudds posters seem to have that they are a well-supported visiting team at Odsal, in the face of plain reality. Compared to most teams- you really aren't. Compared to the top teams, you really, really, really aren't.
Quote ="jools"No we don't have the best following in the league'"
Hallelujah.
Quote ="jools"Given Bradford has double the population of Huddersfield either you are doing badly or we are doing well!'"
So, you either didn't read the attendance stats I posted (which are "FACT" as you would say ) or else you chose to ignore them and post more drivel. Interesting tactic.
Quote ="Adeybull"And, like Halibut, maybe counting is not his forté which is why he became a lawyer not an accountant...? '"
It was my 29th birthday yesterday and my counting faculties are still as keen as they were when I was XXI.

| the 2 end blocks of terracing at the side were mostly giants fans......either you chose to ignore them or your view was obscured.
And before you say anything a Bulls supporting friend told me it was mainly giants due to the fact that he was behind the goals and saw us all clapping our team off after the bulls had left !!

Well I sit directly opposite those two blocks, in the stand. IMO it was around 50/50 at the most, judging by whose umbrellas flew up in the air at various times in response to what. Couple of tight-knit groups, most round the edges were Bulls.
But who gives a toss anyway about a pìssing contest about whose supporters are the most "true", and how many turn up? There are no bonus points for how many speccies your team has in the ground. Just as well, since if you did HKR would be runaway leaders every year, with the competition already sewn up by early March...

As does Hallibut's tackle count, which given your reference to five (euros) was rather more what I had in mind!

From where I was sat I definitely coudn't see more Giants fans than Bulls in that area.

| The solution may be for Uncle Alibert to count Huddersfield attendees, then everybody will be happy.

Not many, though we regularly get 'em. There is a difference though between a ing contest, which invariably consists of wildly exaggerrated claims which the exaggerees (I just made that up) claim as FACT, and the rare opportunity for anally retentive saddos, who compulsively note such facts and figures, getting a chance to use them to shoot such claims down

| The only ones making it into a peeing contest are you lot- you are the ones that bring it up every year. I'm just giving the facts. You stick to your fiction if it makes you feel more secure.
Like most other giants fans I'm really not bothered how many turn up- id be happy if it was just me and Daz as long as the business is being done on the field. Crowds don't win points .

| To Hindle Xiii, sorry for the confusion in your name being mentioned in a reply to one of my posts. This is what they were meaning:
[Hi this will possibly sound very harsh, but it is meant as a polite word of warning or a suggestion, cougar fans - quite a few on here, who are very vocal at games have already said that they really wont be nice to a bucket collection being held at cougars for bulls. Your other charity would be welcome, but not bulls, not to help them with money, no way, we feel sorry for players, its not their fault who they are employed by but Cougar fans can't stand bulls, infact most wont even say the name. Our chairman might of said its ok, but as you as a bulls fan will know by the way your current chairman is, chairmen dont always understand fans or the the feelings they have. This will only end up as a negative experience for you. I wish you luck in your walk, quite a few cougar fans once walked from Keighley to Dewsbury in aid of a young fan who died. I will not and won't be putting any money into the bulls fund - your other charity fine, but not a penny to help save the bulls. I really do feel you would be made welcome for the other charity, but not for the bulls fund, if any fans want to donate to it, they know to ring your club directly. like I said I wish you luck in the walk, but I feel I must make you aware that any bucket collection for helping to save the Bulls will not be received well by alot of cougar fans.)
I may of just done that wrong above but I don't usually post in this format. I do believe that the above reply was meant as a friendly piece of advice, not meant to upset you, in fact trying to pre-warn you about what might of happened that day. There was a thread on the Cougar forum taking about bucket collections before you posted yours. I do believe you were at the game and did the collection and raised a bit of money, so well done to you for that.
My point all along was just to say how amazing it is that a thread was posted about this subject and that it was over 18 pages long.
In response to the question about how was the cougars v sheffield game on the radio, we have a local station which gives live coverage of the games. It is done by 2 fans and is a volunteer station.
The times people had commented about not going to games include the warrington game, wigan game in the CC last season, or maybe the season before, infact quite a few times people have posted about not going to games. It is there choice, not a problem I just think that no-one else can have a go at other fans for not turning up to a game, which is what this thread turned into from about page 2.
Hope this had cleared up a few of my points that I made. I like to read alot of forums, I am a rugby league fan, and a few members of my family go to the Bulls but don't have the internet so I use your part to keep them informed on certain things connected with your club. That is why I comment on these too, I never get personal though to other people and start having ago about peoples spelling, punctuation or grammar, its a shame that not everyone else on here can say the same.

Fair enough. Everything that was said regarding my walk was cautionary and important. I'm still none the wiser why this was brought up on this thread but I've not been following it closely, it probably makes perfect sense within context. Anyhoo, if everyone can just get back to bickering and leave me well out of it - that would be grand. And how previous posters can compare me to Alibert is beyond me, his counting ability is much better than mine...
