Think most people would settle for scraping into 3rd position any way they can. As for laughing, something to even smile about this season would be a rarity.

Yep as I said in another post 5 x 1pt wins will do me

Yep! I'll admit to being a bit disgruntled and made a conscious decision on Saturday not to go to Warrington. It was a hard decision as I'm usually there home and away when work and family commitments allow and hate to miss out.
Some regular fans may well be a bit fed up, possibly a bit short of cash or have family or holiday commitments - I made an easy choice to spend the day with my son on his birthday and to watch him headline a music festival in Halifax. Check out the up and coming indie band; 'Wired To Fail' - bookings taken for parties, weddings, wakes etc.

Forget the Cowbell Army.
Wired To Fail sounds like the ideal band for the Giant at the moment.
Are they free most Sunday afternoons?

I'm looking forward to attending all the middle 8's.

Especially Leigh as I've never been to the LSV.

I was there on Saturday but you cannot knock the fans who weren't. I can only realistically make Saturday and Sunday games and home Friday night games as I work away. Therefore I have missed three home games despite having a season ticket and only made away games at Wakey, Widnes and Warrington. It becomes harder for me every year to follow my team but I hope to get to most games in the play off's.

I think you underestimate the quality of a few teams in the championship.
They are good enough to challenge us for sure.

In their favourthey have nothing to lose and less pressure.

They have been winning the majority of the season whereas we have been losing.

Leigh, arguably the strongest team in the championship are another year wiser whereas this is new territory for us.

We will be massively targeted and need to give every side 100% respect.
Anything less or a wrong mentality and we will lose.

I have a bad feeling the new system of the 8's will be proved a success the second year in and a new team will be in SL next year. I desperately hope it isn't us.

A dead rubber for a game who's fixture had changed. Some people clearly have no lives - others do - For instance a coach load had booked to go to the races on the Saturday.
Jibes like that dont help.

For once Jool's we agree but its easier to just sling mud for some we have a good core away support when we all get there but every year the first two weeks of the school holidays yield reduced attendances.

Let's see where our first qualifier is then let people carp if it's a bad following I suspect it won't be, Batley away would do nicely.

It's a sports entertainment business.

this season hasn't been entertaining.

So why bother turning up for a rearranged match which meant nothing. Especially at £29 for a seat.

I will be going to the middle 8's because it's a bit different. But many won't bother because they can get better entertainment elsewhere and good luck to them.

Play better get more support. Simples.

Did I read somewhere our first game is away, something to do with Town, or did I dream that.

Change their name to Wire to Fail for this weekend please

i agree but just saying what others will say ....

as for the stay away fans im not on about the saturday game at warrington..

anyone who is a giants fan at heart,.. we need you now to back the lads!

Cant agree !Though preferring (a)- if its (a) or (b) against any of our opponents -- I`ll take it gladly at this stage after how we`ve performed even if I lose some hair en route!
I DO care about the club -and I couldnt really give a fig - either `ll do me thanks!

we willl see what is said after the results

I'm pretty sure we will be away due to the fact we have 4 away games and there's a few rumours that Salford will play Leigh first weekend so that leaves us away to either KR or Batley?

Not knocking anyone, i know most posters on here are the regulars and go when they can, i have no problem with anyone not attending, i was just saying that it appears most fans have decided enough is enough, their choice.

Actually meast, I wouldn't be surprised to see our crowds rise in these playoff's, at home anyway. Lot's of fans are fed up as you suggest, but offsetting that is the fact that we are fighting for survival, and in that sense these games are more important than any we have played this season.

I have the feeling the fans will want to give them as much help as they can, even though many think they don't deserve it. They know what relegation will mean as well as the players, The thing is that if they do turn up in decent numbers and get let down by poor shows, then it doesn't bear thinking about.

The club is so badly run off the field that I have a notion to only go to the away matches and sack off the home ones altogether.

I've not been to LSV yet, so that would be one off the list. And it's been too long since I've been up to Mount Pleasant, one of my favourite grounds.

Seems an odd choice.

deal on the 3 home games for fans interested

works out about £17 for adults.

What's the point of coughing up for season tickets any more if the club are going to keep on offering promotional special deals every season? Can't blame the club for trying to attract people but there's no incentive for long term fans to buy ST's any more particularly if you have to miss the odd home game!
It might be argued that you get a percentage off a new shirt (who buys a new cr@p quality and naff shirt every year?!) or 50% off Magic (cheap tickets widespread anyway!). Priority tickets for Wembley assuming we don't bottle it as usual, maybe? (strange - when we've only a hard core fan base of 4 - 5 thousand at most anyway!).
The only advantage I can see is having a reserved seat. I've enjoyed sitting with the same gang on the front row for years now but if the crowd gets any smaller we'll all have the choice of about 10 seats each anyway!
Still feeling a lot disgruntled & cheesed off but will be there for the final games where and when I can and hoping for the best.

Damned if they do, damned if they don't it seems. The club get blasted on here for not doing enough- yet when they do folk find fault. If doesn't bother me that others can get in for the same price I have all season- or even slightly cheaper if it gets bums on seats.

The season tickets are a thorny issue as they only give value if you get to very game. But for working people and people with families, bearing in mind the school holidays and the fines you can get clash with the SL season now the game is primarily summer based so some people won't buy a season ticket as they can miss up to four games due to holidays and changed fixtures.

For example my son gets married Sat 13th of August and we are staying the Friday night before as well, so had the 'Fev' game been any day but the Sunday I couldn't have gone.

The club should pitch season tickets at a minimum price say £17 per game with a minimum purchase of say 9 matches and anyone who purchases 11 get it at £16 and all 13/14 at £15.

Also they should follow the other 9 super league clubs whose concession age is 60 not 65 or at least introduce a two tier pricing system at 60 and. 65 as many people particulary women still retire early and in every household reduced income means something goes and more leisure time means more things to do that clash with RL with less income to spend.

Not blasting the club - fully appreciate that the club's got to come up with ways of raising interest and getting people to come down.
What happened to inviting all the school kids along? Are the Giants school liaison officers still getting involved? For every class of 30 who come, surely you're going to get few of them coming back with mum, dad, granddad or whoever!
