| Quote ="Wadski"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!

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.

| 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.

That is what i use. It takes 10 seconds to watch 1 second of play.
I have just run a diagnostics test and mt down load speeds are as follows
Down load speed 411 KBPS
Streaming speed 1 - 346
2 = 299
3 - 136
which gives me a download speed of 260 KBPS.
I do not know what this means except it is SH!T but it does not work.
Can anyone transfer it to DVD for me or Betamax

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!'"
Come on pal, Saints are 7 miles down the road from HJ stadium, and Huddersfield have to travel 60 miles. So therefore we have been more d than any other of the competing sides in the QFs.

Totally agree, tempting fate and not only that setting us up for one if we messed up.
TBH it wasn't until Brett converted his goal kick to put us 3 scores ahead I felt we'd done enough.

Not according to this, I do agree your fans did have the furthest to travel of all S/F fans one match should have been in Yorkshire.

43.2 miles on Google - but it does depend on which part of Huddersfield you are in.

Is it a race to see who can sell most now?
Im hoping it decided on the pitch, i cant remember the last time a final was won by who had the most supporters there, im sure someone will correct me
As for the rest, i personally wouldnt have bothered logging on to post that crap but each to their own

And of course not all our fans are in Huddersfield....my brother came Hull - Huddersfield - Wire. I also have a close friend who comes from Coventry so a little more than 43.2 miles on both counts.

From where I live it is 52 miles to HJ stadium if you want to be so precise. The odd 8 miles is neither here nor there when you are queuing in traffic for over half an hour.
