The Hudds board need to go away and give their heads a shake.... They will never have a better opportunity to sell their product with the team playing so well.... As it stands, the club will be derided, and rightly so.

| All this argument about it being an 'extra' game, additional to the season ticket - aren't Huddersfiled's season tickets only £50 anyway?

You weren't looking very hard then. There were a few away to my right.
Not that it's the visiting team's responsibility to bolster numbers anyway

True (well sort of true as about 1,500 have got £50 tickets most of the others went for £100 or so) and probably a factor in £15 for a Cup game not appealing but then again the club would not be budgeting on Cup games when they do they're pricing structures I am sure so at the end of the day whilst it would have been nice to have had more there I doubt the board will be having many sleepless nights over it.

| Suppose we go on and win the cup and kev brown is ready to lift the cup then someone says "oh hang on a minute,they only got 2500 for a quarter final they are a disgrace so they cant have the cup" unfortunately for you lot it dont work that way,
it doesn't matter how much you call us a disgrace and abuse us and slag us off,it wont change the fact that a lot of our fans chose not to attend a one sided game that was on tv on a sunday night!

Good. I wonder what sort of state the game would be in if fans of every club chose not to attend games that might be on TV and/or potentially one-sided.

Definitely. You could tell by the haunted look on their faces at every missed tackle.

Where is this league table published? I have no idea how my many my own club has sold, so I'd be interested in seeing this.

| So, i take it then that the club's that every fan thats knocking our crowd supports haven't got a crowd below there usual average in the cup ........presumably every other team has achieved this or there fans wouldnt be on here calling ours then ?
Apparently its only Huddersfield Giants that get low crowds in chllenge cup games !!
The other clubs that did dont count though because............erm, they just dont !!

| Funny how there are now Giants fans on here complaining about London fans not doing a minimum eight hour round trip on a Sunday night to see their team tonked when they can't be bothered spending a few minutes to cross town to see their table topping side.

Dont think anyone expected any to be honest - not at that time on a sunday , dont think no one's complaining as such just using it to point out that the other low crowds in the cup also included a sizeable
amount of away fans.
I saw 2 at half time BTW

There's below their average crowd and there's a disgraceful amount below, you ARE in the latter.
You will win fook all again this season then you'll be back to obscurity again in quick order, at least that way your so called fans have a ready made reason not to turn out for whatever pittance it is to get in for a game.
Also nobody can then have a pop at you regarding your poor attendances seeing as you'll be one of the lower teams again....

I'm not aware of too many SL clubs who have only managed to attract 2500 fans to a CC game. Particularly not a high-flying SL club playing in a quarter final they were expected to win handsomely. Whichever way you look at it, it's poor.

im not bagging london fans, they weren't expected to bring many,if any, and i understand why.if i had had met any i would have thanked them for coming.
my point is that i didnt see any and it wasn't surprising given that they wouldn't have got home until the early hours, no bagging here, try again

| Shoot me then .........and the other giants fans on here that are the ones that DO go to the games........i couldn't care less to be honest ........25, 250, 2500, or 25000 makes no difference to me........my club is 80 minutes away from Wembley.....THAT is all that matters with the Challenge cup.

| nice to see the animosity towards the giants is still going strong after all these years on here
by the way our team is doing well now, you'd better start thinknig of other reason to hate us once we start getting regular 10k crowds.
in all fairness,what can the club do? what can us supporters who do go do? if people dont want to come and watch us then what can we do? i doubt many on here have the anwer to that?

Speaking for myself bud I don`t hate Hudds,in fact I like the way they have come out of the doldrums.I wish the last four years for Hull had been as good,I would have been "over the moon."
