Quote ="GIANT DAZ"Because we haven't won a major trophy for 50 years, in that time we spent 3 decades in the doldrums with crowds regularly under 1,500 and for a few years under 1,000 in a ground that was literally a crumbling dump
We lost 3 generations of fans - 3 generations who didnt even know there was a Rugby League team in Huddersfield, i wouldn't have known if it wasn't for an ex player introducing me to it - and those that did know about it had no interest in it.
Obviously, over the years we've started to wake up and make strides towards becoming a succesful club again and a whole new generation of fans have been introduced to the club and are slowly starting to bring friends/family members to the games and get them hooked like most.
Dont forget most SL clubs have a tradition of being Rugby League hotbeds where generations of fans naturally introduce the next generation of fans to the club by taking them to games when they were younger etc, we haven't been able to do that because there was nobody around to take the kids to the games.
We're proud of how far our club and indeed our crowds have come from in the last 20 year, people forget that only a couple of decades ago we struggled to get 1000 fans to our games while most of the clubs getting good crowds now were getting them back then too !.'"
Again ,as i wrote above, thanks for your honest reply, you will get there, success will bring them back, times where hard, We're ALL proud of our clubs, been there seen it bought the t'shirt
Hope to see you there in your thousands on Sunday, enjoy your day at the KC
