Exactly



The issue is that people pay to see their rugby in Different ways these days, with most fans being season ticket holders so when we are called on to pay for a game then it's time to consider all the factors



Clubs would probably go along way to making CC fixtures part of the season ticket costs, if all clubs do it then no one loses out and gate money is still easily shared

But until then the cups, and the playoff games are going to be poorly supported

People have decisions to make about finances. A second home game not covered by a season ticket in the space of a fortnight is a lot to ask of people.

What that does mean is that there's one set of people you can blame for the low crowd yesterday: the Conservative party

Most of our fans have probably paid around £100 for their season ticket this season - thats 13 home games, works out about £8 a game - the problem with cup games is that that person is then expected to pay £15 to watch that one game - our 2 home cup games have been against much weaker opposition where,and quite rightly in the end, people expected walkover wins for us !!, if there's a family your talking £40 ish for each round of the cup.



You cant just say the Giants are playing at home therefore everyone should go to the game if you are a fan - it doesnt work like that. The people who were missing will be there on Friday because the game is already paid for and more attractive to the casual fan.

I used to think for some clubs CC attendances are an indication of support they might attract if they were in the championship or even performing poorly in SL and charging average season ticket prices. Now I'm not sure cos two and a half thousand looks on the high side for Hudds

Are you London in disguise!!!! Never will be a big club

500 more for Widnes-Saints and not a word spoken when that happened. Illuminating.

Alot of Huddersfield people follow both Football and Rugby, a fair few no doubt will have watched Town in the playoffs, away on Saturday and with a home tie tomorrow night. There's a high chance they will be forking out again to see them at Wembley. I don't follow Town, but I can understand a lot of folk who simply need to make some calls on finances, with the Giants being on TV, for some it's a no brainer.



Don't worry I think we'll travel in good numbers come the semi's, ateotd it's the team that wins the came not the crowd and those like me who was there yesterday throughly appreciated the efforts of the team.



Its the usual rubbish we get from opposition fans talking about the attendance as quite frankly they have little else to criticize now the team are performing to expectations and beyond, joint top and in the semi's.

I've mentioned it a couple of times. It's been odly ignored

When i mentioned that i was told it doesn't count because i was an earlier round and not as much at stake plus none of them teams were in the top 2 of super league so that didnt count either !!

so if town get to wembley will these fans go to watch giants too? may have an affect on our numbers going down with town going too...

this.

absolutely spot on! the hatred will never cease to amaze me

Yes, a lot of Town fans will go to Wembley with us regardless of Town getting there or not.
