after all the debate about the poor crowds for the play offs so far, i was wondering what people's thoughts on tonights crowd is?
what would you consider a good/bad crowd etc?

personally i think anything over 5,000 will be a good crowd when you take into account:
its a friday night game
its live on sky
away support will be almost non existant
its all pay, fair enough the club have reduced ticket prices and good on them for that.
considering we struggled to get 5,000 for a cup quarter final on a roasting sunday afternoon with a decent away following.

whatever the attendance tonight im damn sure we'll get some grief over it.

I can't see it being much above 5k either, TBH.

I shall be attending but getting the ST has, in a way, kind of left me unprepared for these games at the end. Bit of a grey way of explaining it like, but I hadn't considered the cost of these games until it's just round the corner.

It's the credit crunch I'm afraid.

Other teams can hardly moan.

6K at Sts with a big giants following was shocking

Is it all credit crunch or is it partially people not buying into the concept?

I think the recession has certainly exaggerated the figures but the play off earlier stages generally haven't been as well attended as league fixtures.

I remember our game at Hull the other year was down on the league game attendance wise.

It's also the time of year to renew season tickets so that doesn't help either!

Aye, it's turning into an expensive time of year is this!

To be honest i'll be well pleased if we get 5,000 if the other playoff attendances from last week are anything to go by. If we win another expensive weekend next week and if we win that more expense at old Trafford. It's been a very expensive last couple of months following the Giants, challenge cup semi and final together with holidays etc, and still haven't got my season ticket yet. My wallet will be glad when the season,s over, i just hope it isn't over untill after the grand final. I can understand why supporters are more inclined to watch the playoffs on tv with a few beers rather than having to shell out what has been a very expensive few months, but i'm not complaining and hoping for more of the same next season.

Good luck for tonight, you better win cos ive got money on you to win the GF.

4.5k

4,467

That's the downside to following a seccessful team though

i think around 4500 but anything over 5k will be good

Strange if the play-offs doesn't attract a bigger than normal attendance. Giants first ever home play-off game. Whenever Town have had a play-off game there has been much more interest and bigger crowds than regular league games, I'd be disapointed if this wasn't the case for the Giants too. Anyone with even a passing interest in the Giants should be wanting to go to this game.

got to agree with digger on this, first home play off game decent weather, not overly expensive to get in, hopefully we can get 6-7000 tonight.

Yep the price of success



All 4 of us will be down the pharm tonight, but reckon 4.5K

4,200

Gee i have seen biggers crowds at local footy in NZ

Shocking.

your support is a joke.
first the wembely debacle then this tonight, you dont deserve a top flight rugby league team.
i bet widnes fans are shaking ther heads in disbeliefe at the way super league slammed the door shut on them for your shower

75,000 for Parra vs Doggies today - credit crunch not affecting them

Was shocked to be honest.

Was even more shocked by the amount leaving before the end, not even willing to congratulate the team on a succesful season.

Disgraceful attendance. Your new "final" fans didn't stay long did they?

Oh, the irony....

At least they are consistent....
Poor attendance
Poor atmosphere
Poor performance.......

None of that matters as long as the RL have their heads turned by the idea of Hudds have to be in SL because they are the 'Birthplace of RL'.
It very apparent that the people of Hudds are not interested what so ever even when they are practically giving away season tickets.

where were hull kr supporters less than 5 years ago!!

ffs wish dobbins would stop moaning about hudds attendence, yes was poor, but so was every other match last week!

no doubt you will all claim that you are the sports saviours come you're match tomorrow, which btw, hasn't sold out yet has it?
