Absolutely embarrassing. That was the biggest game we have played at the HJ and our biggest league fixture in many a year yet the only people who seemed interested were Huddersfield fans. Okay they didn't fill the West Stand (or anywhere near it - I was in there and we had plenty of room) but by comparison to their usual away attendance it was a good two or three times the normal amount.

Why could we not fill our ground tonight?

I'm not even talking about the Wembley 30,000 here as we all know half of them are interested in finals and nothing else, but what about the regulars who have packed the ground out with bigger crowds than that all season? I appreciate it was short notice scheduling and some people might not have been able to organise time off work or whatever, but anyone moaning about the ticket prices (how DARE the club charge the same as they have for every other game this season - scandalous eh?!) or saving their money for week three (good plan eh?!) should be embarrassed to call themselves a Wire tonight.

Before anyone who really couldn't attend starts whinging - pack it in, I'm not talking about you. Any regular match goers who COULD have gone tonight but CHOSE not to though - hang your heads in shame because you let your team down.

People on here talk about expanding the ground? Pfft - try turning up when it matters first.

What was the attendance tonight. I said it would be about 8k.

8,050 I think...

A complete embarrassment.

edit - double post

Not a bad guess then.

very poor crowd that and i toatally agree about wanting to extend the stadium whats the point when in a big game like this you cant even fill the current size

the same reason it was at wigan last night, it`s not a local derby, it`s live on telly and you have to pay to go.

3 crap reasons, but people have the choice to go or not.

It felt like the lowest attendance of the season with only about half of the usuals sat around us in the east and rows of empty seats.

True, but any of them who would have chosen to go next week or the week after but chose not to go tonight should be ashamed of themselves.

If they had chosen to go when it mattered then maybe, just maybe, it still might.

I'm not normally one to waffle on about the difference the crowd makes but that attendance must have been very deflating for our players and an inspiration for theirs.

Must have been at least 3,000 Hudds fans in that lot as well.

Poor turn out from Wire

Great game though. Nearly had a heart attack at the end.

3k. Not even close.

Where were you?

More like 1500-2000 I think...

Still looks bad if only 10 Hudds fans had turned up.... Very poor...

2011... Year of the Wolf.

At home, not a true fan.

Agree it was a poor attendance, although Giants had a decent following around 1500 or so, never 3000 but still a good turn out.

I think it is now time for the RFL looked at the ticket prices of the playoffs or is it up to the home team to specify the pricing. I believe all gate receipts from the playoffs are shared by Sl clubs rather than between the two teams playing on the day so what was stopping the Wire dropping prices for these games, no hardship to us I suppose.

Not everyone has the spare cash these days to pay out for the extra games. Price it right and you may get more fans turning up. Apart from the two local derbies last weekend the playoff crowds have been poor.

Exactly. Now take your fake Liverpool season ticket (as if) and your East Stand/North Stand (which is it this week?) season ticket and f*** off.

Probably a taste of what to expect next year with the price increases for 2011. How many people will not renew their season tickets?

The smaller Premiership clubs have reduced their prices to a lower level than the Wire (and that is for 19 games too!)

Perhaps the club needs to have a rethink!

couldn`t agree more

Christ. Wasn't expecting that. Whats up with you? I will await your apology.

You'll be waiting a long time then you f***ing biff.

Oh I say. Kids and beer eh.

back to back challenge cup wins highest in the super league so far last game of season and some of "the fans" walk out early shame on you.

At least the ones who left early (no I wasn't one of them) turned up in the first place, unlike about 2-3000 others.
