Well Kens aim was to be Yorkshires top team and its up for grabs Friday night its currently 2-2 one win apiece one 4th place one challenge cup final and the decider is a play off game which is sudden death.

Can we find from somewhere a decent performance? In order to beat Leeds we need to set off on the mark and play to it for 80 minutes....

Will the public of Huddersfield turn out in numbers to support us or we will be out numbered by the Leeds support as its 'pay on the gate.' £15 for such an important match is 'peanuts' there should be 15,000 but there'll be less than the Leeds super league match mainly missing from our ranks I would guess. Before any one complains look at the Cas match and the Catalans matches our last home play offs and our home challenge cups where we didn't turn out in droves because its pay on the day !!

It will be a very bitter pill to swallow if we don't turn up and 'bust our guts' for 80 minutes beacuse in truth we will have failed every objective for this season falling from the heights of the early season to the depths of Friday night.....

I will be there cheering and hoping for the best...just hope we produce it even if we lose its heads up time and go for it.... as they say 'lets go up or down with all guns blazing all flags flying' !!!!!!

After Friday night win or lose the current squad and Nathan Brown have to face judgement time..... and it can't be good if we get thrashed or don't perform...

We went fully intending to perform, we know where we went wrong, just not acceptable, we're all hurting. Good talkers, sure. We don't want to hear the talk though, do we.

Aye,it's time for the players to walk the talk.

Big of the big man to come out and apologise though,and promise to do much better.

Maybe this line should have read :-

“If [uS.Ganson[/u let’s such a fantastic side as Warrington play, they’re going to hurt you,”



---

Can't see the fan turn out from ours being huge 'fraid to say.I don't think we are alone on that though when it comes to play off games,was a bit surprised how [irelatively[/i empty the Wigan popular side was yest.

It's about what happens on the field,not on the terraces though.

its on sky that automatically rules most of the public of this town out ...although town centre pubs with it on will makes some money ! hope i'm wrong but we look miles away at the moment from competing with anyone let alone an in form leeds team. hope the players decide this is the week they decide to show us what they can do !

The Somerset Arms on Wakey road always has the big sign in the window advertising Giants home games shown live on telly there.A bit annoying,but suppose he has to try and make a living too.Don't mind them showing the away games.

Tickets are priced at £15 for adults, £10 for concessions, Children aged 12-16 £5, Under 12's FREE OF CHARGE

A family ticket is also available to purchase from the Galpharm Stadium Ticket Office and priced at £30 for 2 adults and 2 children.

Quite a discount on the league prices though the north stand lower is closed for this one, so even though the club are trying to get a crowd I doubt they will albeit apart from the south end of the ground!

A friend tells me Leeds are taking £10 deposits on tickets for Friday and have already had pledges for 5,000

For me it's all good,the more who come the merrier.Makes for a better atmosphere.
For the SL game I was well impressed with the Leeds turn out,can't recall that south stand being as full any time previous.

With it being a local derby I'm hoping a few more of ours might be tempted away from the telly & £15 is nowt too exorbitant these days really is it?

no i agree but i see many empty seats where season ticket holders sit at these type of games.... and the danger here is that with no season ticket holder reserved seats the side stands will be part filled by Leeds supporters as well.... something that would never happen at headingly

Hope these £10 offers to Leeds are for the south stand.We all remember why they decided to open the south stand in the first place a few years back.

Just had a quick shufty,4,263 was the attendance for the 2009 PSF at ours vs Catalans,so I reckon then approx 5k of ours might turn out this Friday for a local derby and hopefully a few more.

2011 Season Ticket holders can sit in their own reserved seats as long as they bring their booklets as proof.

I doubt these seats will be taken by Leeds fans unless they ignore the instructions of stewards or don't read whats on the seat!

5000 eh? impressive so that'll be the south stand full and part of the Kilner bank taken at the south end!

You'll just have to sort them all out if they disobey nic

My mate Phil's off on his jollies so don't know where to sit.Might go a bit further back.5000,if they bring that many it will be some achievement.

I think 4/5 thousand is about right for us maybe a few more as its a big game and leeds.... and i have my last years season ticket book and have bought next years so I will be in the kilner bank in my usual seat hoping for some 'lift off'

there are eight of us die hard fartowners , home and away fans , but this friday we are waiting to see who the ref is going to be before parting with ticket money , we all believe that ganson destroyed the giants will to play last friday , making them afraid to put a foot wrong , childs is a similar ref , if either of them are involved in this weeks game then we are not parting with our money , realy sickened for our lads and the fans who travelled in that weather last week and had to put up with that rubbish reffing ,

well silverwood and Alibert didn't ref this weekend so logic says......

We've been decent all season at home so why all the depression? I'll be there, we all should be there.

i'll be there ordered me ticket by post as i live in barnsley these days but the only depression is if we go out with a whimper on Friday

Since when did logic or common sense ever appear in the RFL's dictionary?

not often but interestingly lot of posts on other clubs agree Ganson was bad on friday but now is the hour for nathan and his boys underdogs nowt to lose its go for one last big push time...

We just need to go out and give it some. No heads down if we concede early. No slow start to either half. Some mongrel, some desire.

If there's one thing we need to sort for next season it is the recruitment of a leader of men on the pitch.

he was sat next to nathan brown on friday with his gammy leg.... don't look like hes had the op yet...LOD...

He's had the op and he's not a leader of men IMO. He's an enforcer but no leader of men.

Sinfield is a leader of men. O'Loughlin is too. We need a player who gives the side focus when the boobs start heading northward.

point taken.... but the enforcer would help against leeds friday night I suggested taking Rob Purdham loose forward and a good player leader and captain.... and he wants a club in yorkshire or lancs..

I'll be there as usual, i just hope that we turn up and put something in this week......i'd hate to see another promising season fizzle out without so much as a fart !

Looking forward to a good partisan atmosphere on Friday night.
After the disappointing lows of the last two months, followed by Nathans andthe players claims that lessons have been learnt and the next game will be better etc etc, there is a final chance on Friday to send most supporterts home with a big grin on their face, and the beginning of a good weekend.
One last big effort lads, please for the galpharm faithful.
