I'm not from Huddersfield so dont know what the politics are but a smaller ground would mean tickets (for good seats at least) are in demand. I went to Hudds for the CC quarter final and the atmosphere was shocking, hard to attract fans to sit in silence like that. Ithink the John Smiths is a good stadium its just too big.

I tend to agree with you, I once had a chat with one of Hull FC’s directors just before super league, he said that a terrestrial tv deal if showing games that sky did would bring in more money through sponsorship than Sky brought. Admittedly at this time there were mainly part time players (except Wigan).

Once IMG take over I hope they don’t listen to false stadium promises or allow takeovers to avoid relegation.
Licensing is the way to go and there are championship clubs who will get much higher attendances in SL. This is important if we want the game of rugby league to grow in this country.'"
Only Bradford are really capable of drawing a crowd any better than the lower end SL clubs but, not the current mid table version. Although, they did great in the cup game v Leeds a few years back.
As for franchising. Although it was excellent as far as clubs bringing young players through, it wasn't exactly successful.

What is not good for the sport is hordes of supporters fighting amongst themselves, bricking coaches, or those saints fans letting off flares or chucking stuff at players on the pitch eh wolfie.......
you can have a go at the numbers at huddersfield but one thing you cant do is have a go at the behaviour of our fans. wakey and salford have fewer fans than huddersfield and still cant behave so you cant argue its because there are fewer.'"
Huddersfield's crowds are completely fake and propped up by super-cheap tickets and an old man pumping £2.5m per year into the club to keep it going.
That's a shame because they play nice rugby at the moment.

At least they have an owner willing to put money in. That’s why they are 3rd whilst your team flirts with relegation whilst playing in a decrepit stadium that you can catch the plague from

Can I check - are you are Warrington fan?
Warrington who spend full cap + marquee players, who are 1 win above Wakey?
Warrington who were gifted a lovely stadium in a supermarket deal?
That Warrington?

I'm not going to argue your entitled to your opinion but with a little success I see us and Wakey dwarfing your support, thing is jools kens wallet is or should get you to some big games, one thing is for sure whatever final you get to will see an almost empty stand and that won't improve, kens wallet doesn't buy that.

He’s a troll from the small town up the road. Probably works and or lives in Warrington (a lot of them do, understandably).

And so what????? Why do you care? What is this obsession with other teams fans like it’s some sort of bonus ball. If the team can finance themselves then it really doesn’t matter.
Sky don’t give a crap because if they did they wouldn’t keep playing around with the fixtures and putting games on Wednesdays nights or whenever they feel like it. The RFL don’t care because they can’t organise the proverbial as far as international games go, and keep messing about with the rules and tinkering all the time and the ridiculous stuff with the disciplinary this year has been a joke. and superleague doesn’t care because they keep messing about with the league structure and system and can’t seem to stick to one thing or another.
It seems the only time fans is important is as a stick for fans to beat other teams who are better than them on the field with.
I guess you are going to ignore the 1200 we brought to your place last week then- how convenient for you- that’s almost half your crowd.
Salford got to two finals last year- what exactly has that done for your support? Crack all!

Because you said this [i"wakey and salford have fewer fans than huddersfield" [/i that's why I care, I also see your highly acclaimed 1,000 to our game has jumped to 1,200 .
As for us getting to two finals last year has dementia kicked in ?
