you just need to attract some extra supporters now to give visiting teams that big game feel , and see where it gets you when it matters later in the season

I can only apologise from those of us who are not that interested in oneupmanship.

Wigan have one of he largest home season ticket sales - they also have the poorest home form. Maybe that 'big game' atmosphere raises their opponents game or the pressure of the home support on the teams back gets to them?

I must admit that it is still a disapponting feature of Huddersfield's improvement, that they have failed to ignite much interest in their town, and with this I actually have massive sympathy for their loyal supporters, who deserve better.

Compare the atmosphere when the top 2 clashed at Wigan a fortnight ago, to last night's clash of the top2?....Last night's atmosphere resembled a pre season knockabout, whereas at the DW stadium it was something that is a fantastic advert for our domestic game.

maybe in the stand where most of the Wire fans were it was but the atmosphere in my stand was pretty damn good by our usual standards !

It must be a tad dreary then, most of the time?...

give me a full stadium with atmosphere any day of the week win or lose

Never went to Wilderspool then ?

You have changed.



You seem to be judging us on about two posters ( who are embarrassing most Huddersfield fans) who have being overcome by the elixir of winning a few games.

However if we ever win a trophy be ready for me to shout it from the rooftops. Until then most of us are keeping our feet firmly on the ground. You beat us 3 times last season but lost in the playoffs. Us winning yesterday was nice but in reality only wins in knock out competitions mean anything.

it takes a lot to get the majority of our fans to do anything but moan at times so yeah..............

Agree 100% it was a cracking atmosphere Friday night

brought up at wilderspool been watching the wire for 35 years plus but times change dont they

We, like yourselves, come from the 22 disaffected rugby clubs who signed a document to form the Northern Rugby Football Union in 1895. However, our history can be traced back to 1864 whereas your earliest mentions are 1875.

Battered by a pack that was more aggressive, powerful and intelligent with the ball.

Forget about the backs, Myler and Bridge had no chance because nothing was going on up front. Monaghan has been dodgy for a couple of weeks, Harrison and Carvell are far better players than they showed last night.

McGillvary is a real talent but the way he runs head on without any attempt to evade the man is going to lead to him getting a serious injury. Even if Morley had stayed perfectly still McGillvary's head would still have run straight into his shoulder, despite Eddie's bleating.

First cup final we, in my opinion, were out of our depth - but we made it there.
Second cup final, agree we choked on the day as we didn't have enough big game players.

Our squad has grown and changed dramatically since that 2009 defeat, which for me was epitomised when we beat you in the play offs last year. So I ask the question again and hope for a more intelligent comment than:



Because I am interested to know how anyone, after only 9 games of a season, is prepared to make a comment like that?

no, in reality your club was reformed as a merger with another yorkshire club, the eagles so your history being the pedant that i am started only a few years ago! bit like the other new boys the gatesheadhullsharks! it must be pants only having such a new club with no history

Agree with all that. I would add that we also massively assisted our own downfall by the amount of ball we spilled. The similarities between the two games against the Giants this season are scary.

Although we did contribute to our own downfall, and played poorly, that's not to suggest that this was the only reason we lost. Huddersfield played well (in parts) and were by far the better team. No complaints - just dissappointing that in two games against them we haven't shown up properly. We'll see them again though - at least once, probably more - before the season is out.

no kicking game,no playmaker ,no idea,maybe we are a one man team after all.on the subject of clarke not good enough,but not on his own,bridge should not be selling programmes never mind playing.TS needs take along hard look at team selection,Evans not a winger,Bridge(already mentioned),Atkins cant pass,etc.etc. not a lot of pace in side either so we drop our quickest player, Riley,and play a centre instead.logic lost on me somewhere?also seem to have five steam rollers in our pack and not much creativity.Apart from that we are sound.

i would imagine most non RL supporters would think warrington wirewolves were a new club judging by all the loyal fans who have supported them through thick and thin sudenly showing up after a 30 year trophy drought was ended


as for humility YED i think its a bit harsh judging us all by a couple of giddy posters,let us enjoy it as we let you enjoy your cup final victory,and on that point, wakefield beat us once in a cup final, but has ultimately proved irrelevent to whats happened the last few years in the league

never mind, slim had already made the same post.

what do i care about fair weather fans, i have been watching the wire for over 35 years, never observed my team involved in any mergers or absorbtion of other clubs in my lifetime, had a look through the history books, nowt there. fought strongly against the merger talks in the 90's when a fat bookie conspired to mess with my club, where as your team rolled over so uncle mo and his legacy could tickle your belly and consign sheffield to the rubbish pile (which would have happened if not for mark aston!) at that time, correct me if i'm wrong huddersfield became huddersfield sheffield and changed the company name as such and in my opinion took a big dump on both clubs history.
now i'm also aware that you were in big financial turmoil at the time and needed the money from sky due to sheffield but it still must leave a bitter taste in your mouth?

What 30 year trophy drought
Try telling that, to those players with winners medals in Premiership, JPS/Regal trophy, Lancs Cup winning sides.

Yes, we've had a couple of cup final victories recently, but a few of your posters on here need to change their sticky underwear, after an early season (where nowt's won) victory.

and Cas are top of the league. Cas must be better than them, that's how it works isn't it?

We have a better attack than Huddersfield and a better defence. We've played Saints, Wigan and Leeds and they've played us and Wigan. Let's see where they are after a tough run of teams.

A slight increase of 131 people, hardly a hord of glory hunting fans. We were already there.

Wire avg attendance 2008 = 10,607

Wire avg attendance 2010 = 10,738


I love it when clueless folk come on here and start posting . It gives me a chance to do this.

Couldn't agree more.

We were very poor, lucky to score 10 in my view.
