Opposite for me, in the grand scheme of things, I want as less Hudds fans their as possible. When(if) they score I want it to be silent. Aslong as the North Stand does their bit, we know how good we are at home. If them bringing 400 less fans gives any kind of an edge I'd take it straight away.

Aren't we getting ahead of ourselves, it is HKR next?

Well, there'll be more than 200 of them there! I wonder how many we'll take? More than 200, for sure, even though it's on the telly.

I Would too, our away support is pretty poor but the few that do go, do get behind the team, it's just we have a large amount of armchair fans, some can't make it but others will choose not to.
Saying that, we've taken good numbers to both Salford and Batley so we might scrape 400 after all.

And your backing might well be large, but it won't be noisy once we start rattling the points up

Good evening, Meast. Couldn't help but notice your signature. Mrs Bongser is from near Bladdersveldt and I recall her saying that her primary school teacher, when teaching the points of the compass, taught her Never Ever Support Wednesday! If that's not enough to prove that your support is divided, said Mrs B has seen the light, been absorbed by the
Leythe Borg and will be cheering for The Cherry & Whites come the day.

If you are struggling for a lift a week or so on, Lynda may just be passing HD on the way back from KR - don't pack a large suitcase.

At least [i1,000[/i

No pressure Leythers, make it happen.

Touche!

Looking forward to seeing young Ryan standing behind his posts, in front of the North stand. Bet he gets a rousing welcome!

BaB, are you related to Stanley Unwin .Lol.

200 .......



Wow when was the last time you took so many to a Sky game, id divide that by 8...

Fingers crossed the said gentlemen gets selected...

If it's anything like the rousing reception i used to receive at Hilton Park I'm sure he can't wait

probably last year's semi final at Wigan if I'm being honest!

We'll at least you have a sense of humour.

I don't think I have heard a noise anywhere near like that for Leigh v Salford on TV, 4,500 made a proper racket compared with 10, 000 + crowds for the likes of Wigan v Saints etc.

Hope you lot can raise at least a half decent following but if not your team won't have much other than pride to spur them on.

Regardless of what may transpire away at Hull Kingston Rovers, the Huddersfield game at home is huge. Huge either way.....

To be fair, most SL grounds are silent apart from the odd chant here and there, we might not have many fans but we like to be noisy when we can and have a decent variety of songs, unlike our friends and your neighbours "ovur thur"

Following a re-read, I see your point. Some evenings, Charles, when the muse is with me (last night in the form of eight bottles of Abbot Reserve), I have been known to stretch the bootyful girdle of our Mother tongue beyond its knicker-elastic limit. Deep joy, messmate.

I'm sure you were probably going to be at them anyway Frank, but give the lads an extra cheer for me. I will be yelling at the tele as usual but despite what my wife says I doubt it will be quite loud enough to be heard on the pitch

Agreed, and I'm sure the lads are focused on winning this weekend and making it 4 from 4 before we beat Hudds

Wish that I had your confidence, VL. This fortnight break has been a killer. Roll on Saturday, after which we'll be better placed to judge where we stand. Then and only then can the topic of Hudds be discussed with any real zeal. First things first. KR will be a real tester.

We have 3 possibly 4 million pound games. Hopefully we will be well rested and ready to go this weekend and deliver the goods.

Have to agree with that.

In truth I'm not confident that we will beat HKR or Hudds, but I am confident that the lads/coaches and club are aiming for nothing less than that. As a fan I can ask no more.

There are some fans who just don't bother and others who genuinely cannot attend away games. Myself, I cannot wait for this game now and really want to visit the LSV but I may fall into the latter category next week. Going into hospital at 7am next Saturday for a knee clean up op and will be in a queue to have the op done. If I can possibly get the op done and out of hospital I will be getting a lift there so fingers crossed my op is early!! May the best team triumph and not have any ref decisions have an affect on the score line.

Surely we can't have that useless prat child three games in a row!!

That was kind of my point, some people genuinely can't go and others, much as they want to go, can't because of other commitments. I have no axe to grind with people who don't go, apart from the ones who then complain the club don't sign top players/coaches/spend XX amount, but it would be good for the players and fellow supporters to have a good turnout of fans.
Perfect example, last night, i asked 3 regulars how they are getting to Leigh, "we're not going, we're gonna watch it in the pub" when i asked why surely your money would be better spent buying a ticket through the club and going to support the team, "ah but it's man utd v man city as well"


Hope it all goes well and you make it, sounds like it's gonna be like a scene from '300' with 150,000 lobbygobblers baying for blood
