The game and performance aside today I honestly could not have been more proud of our supporters today. We showed up in numbers and outsung the Saints from beggining to end. Although I could not bring myself to believe we were going to win until the 79th minute you could kind of sense the giants fans had an idea of what was to come as much as the relative lack of noise from the saints indicated they knew the same.

A magical day and a cracking crowd to be a part of, lets hope we have an even bigger and noisier turnout at Wembley!

Well done the Claret and gold!

You serious!

10,600 for a semi final is dire - and well over half from saints.

shocking turnout tbh, let's hope a few more can be ar5ed to dust off the cobwebs for a final, eh!

FU asshole

seconded!!

to be perfectly honest im glad you lot won and was there in the west stand cheering you on, but i thought the turn out off your fans was average, probably the least fans of the four semi finalists, you would expect more for a semi, but it was a good turnout when compared to huddersfields away travelling over the years, just hope you take much more to the final to make a good atmosphere.


see you at wembley

Yet those twice as many Saints fans made half the noise.

The fans were fantastic and the atmosphere great. But starting the wembley song with half an hour left was a bit much for me. I could hardly watch the last quarter of the game i was so nervous and only when Wild got his second was i convinced the game was won.

The atmosphere was great
Us giants fans didn't stop singing all match and harldy heard the saints fan tbh

But due to the lack of atmospheric mics around the stadium that was not conveyed onto the TV. The BBC stuck mics on the gantry above the saints fans so all that was heard was them.

Watching it back, there were plenty of times when the Giants fans could be heard in full voice, which makes it even better if that was through mics in the saints fans end

Can anyone send me a DVD of the game. I forgot to tape it ( as well as forgetting my match ticket and having to pay again

)

Try the BBC iplayer, think its still on there.

and your purple wigs.

Dont get me started on the Purple wigs. My sister put hers on saturday night to try it out. Had it on for 60 seconds. The dye ran onto her forehead and left her with pinky stripes all down her forehead. Could not get it off even with dilute bleach.

She wore so much foundation to cover it up yesterday she looked like an extra from Star Trek.

I have a really funny picture of the stripey forehead. I will email it if anyone wants to put it on here ( she would be mortified)

we might have had the least numbers from all 4 semi finalists, but we are not just a quick bus ride from our front doors to the venue as the other 3 sets of fans were.

and considering that just over 20 years ago we struggled to get even 4 figure crowds at home i thought it was worth all those barren years at fartown and the first few years weekly super league drubbings to see even 3,000 fartowners!

great sight on sunday as seven coaches filled with giant fans went down the motorway in convoy , officialy just over 4,000 giants at the match , i thought there were a lot more as we outshouted saints , one of the best giants games ive been to

I cannot watch it on BBc i player as it is too slow and i cannot seem to download either.

IF anyone can do a DVD it would be appreciated.

You do realise that you were winning for the whole of the match, don't you, and that we were losing for the whole of the match? If the situation had been reversed, we would have outsung you for virtually the whole of the match but as it was we saw the writing on the wall, were disappointed and so found it hard to sing.

Enjoy your moment, but there's no need to criticise the fans. Both sets turned up in numbers and turned out well, supporting the best we could given the circumstances.

Ive just tried it and it works ok. The only thing i can suggest is try a torrent site such as btjunkie tomorrow. Wire game is on there today so yours may be tomorrow. Good luck.

I've never downloaded anything to play iPlayer and I get it straight away on [url=http://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/episode/b00m52tn/Rugby_League_Challenge_Cup_2009_Semifinal_St_Helens_v_Huddersfield_Giants/This[/url

i couldnt care less how many giants fans were there yesterday, the fact is the ones that were there made it a great atmosphere which is what pharmer gibbs was saying, besides that fact there was over 4000 giants there it dont say much for saints then, because only 6000 saints made the short trip from st helens, which only couple thousand more, same with wigan and wire with a crowd of only 12000, begs the question is that all the rfl expect for a semi final i think it is and they are right.
