Just got back from the game about an hour ago. Unlucky, seriously you have been playing well all season, let it go tonight though we were too good for you. But seriously where is your support for the team, you were at home right? Your mascot was banging the drum and our fans were louder than yours.

i know c'mon guys near top you should have a louder support than i heard tonight

although i suppose tonight you didn't have much to shout about

I thought this thread was about crowd numbers. You were expectng a big crowd weren't you but it was 4,000 down on last years fixture.

Who ever said we were expecting a big crowd? Anyway that inst the point, no matter how many fans we have, the fans that are there are there to support the team and encourage them, not just sit there moaning

They pay their money, they makes their choice. Fans don't have to encourage if they don't want.

And Sky and Huddersfield were expecting a big crowd, rather naively. 11,000 isn't a bad effort though, especially as Leeds didn't travel in their usual numbers.

Funny that never heard the Leeds contingent all game!! And yet I was at that end near by!! We were quiet granted but it was a surreal game in all honesty!

Also on crowd numbers not as many as previous seasons when you required an over flow into the Kilner bank! Not even 2K in the south stand!! And not that many in other stands!

Poor away following tonight from you guys. 2k max.

Sky match takes 5,000 off crowd?

Thought it was heading for a sell out? Obviously talked it up a bit much.
Poor crowd considering the teams involved. I imagine that the result will knock a few thousand home fans off the next gate.

And Huddersfield take 4k to every away game.

your grounds too big for you!! your grounds too big for you!!

We have never suggested it but Leeds have!! We often have 1k but never get credit for it!! Leeds have always suggested upto 7K but I think we've only ever had that many once and certainly not tonight!!

Had it been a Sunday 3pm k.o and not on Sky it would be 15,000 IMO

Nearer to 150,000 wih all those Leeds fans that come

Now I'm no Huddersfield fan but to come on here and criticise Huddersfield for a crowd of 11,500+ when the cameras are at the ground is extremely rude. Having built the support up this was agreat crowd it may well have been bigger on another day and without cameras but but Leeds are the champions and have a fair share of glory fans its only 12 years when headingley was hosting 5,000 fans.

Yeah no doubt!! Our attendance was nothing to do with freebies neither like last season! People genuinely wanted to pay for the experience quite a big walk up tonight! Many from other teams were here tonight saw many other club shirts scatted around all wanting a Giants success which unfortunatley didn't come!

leeds support was shocking, 2,000-2,500 max.

last years game was the first game of a new season with the university buying a whole stand which it gave to schools,etc and leeds filled their end last year,were not worried anyway,it was 5,000 up on 3/4 years ago so grounds for optimism i reckon

and as for the original post, would leeds fans make any noise if they were 22-0 at HT? only time they make any noise is when then circus band starts up

a few saints fans made the trip to tonight also saw a few bully's, couple dewsbury and even a fev fan!
its typical of some ppl on ere, that for years we get slated for having poor crowds, "why cant hudds get more fans" etc etc then when we do we get slated for ONLY having 11,500, you gotta laugh at some saddo's

So you rely on away crowds? That's a shock..

oh yes

thats why there was 10,000 home supporters there
your'e boring.

When calculating a crowd you have to add up the number of home supporters and the number of away supporters and the number of impartial supporters to get the total.

That's the rule. If you have a problem then complain to the RFL about calculations.

In fact when you do please ask why Wigan never officially announced the crowd figure published for the Saints game was actually 21,223 not 22,232.

Credit Crunch



No, our away support was poor yesturday. nice saturday evening, not as thow its far away, i expected us to fill the away stand, oh well. i didn't think the noise we made was that bad tbh, was loud at times but other times was average.

2003 Giants 30 - 24 Leeds att: 6,340
2004 Giants 10 - 42 Leeds att: 6,011


and thats with 3,000+ Leeds fans.

think its fair to say our support is there and doing just fine for our small unfashionable club !

your support is really on the up, hope to see many of you at headingly in june
