Players bar after the game and watching the game on sky+ when I got home

Scousers made Hudds look good last night

Huddersfield certainly did a job on a very understrength Saints side last night, as they also did on us at HQ

They are certainly a club on the ascendance, but sadly they haven't yet produced the goods when it matters in the play-offs and to actually win owt have they?

Neither did we till 2004.

No but we subsequently have produced title winning sides in 04/07/08/09

Giants are now like we were in 2004, but they now need to kick on and actually win something, they've certainly got the team to do it

I know, that's my point. You have to start somewhere.
I think it's now much harder to establish a dynasty than it was even as recently as 2004.
The same is also true of the Wolves & to a lesser extent Wigan.

I would disagree. More like 2003 Rhinos

Seems a few folk changing their opinions on the Giants lately, beat Leeds and apparently you are no longer a little club

You’ll always be a little club, even if you win every game from now to the end of the century, your poor fans base will see to that.

That's the thing! players tell you when the chips are down in the big games the fans lift them to another level. Hudds fans are few in numbers and arnt the most vocal bunch! I would say one of the least vocal. they are always out number and or outsang.

A lot of fans have respected the giants for a bit now! It's just pratts like you who put people off!

Are you having a laugh? We outsang you on your own ground the other week

did they have megaphones?

No mine's just a normal Nokia

It's disappointing more fans arn't getting themselves down to 'the Pharm.' The team are holding up their end of the bargain and surely worthy of a five figure average attendance.

Living in Dewsbury i'm not sure how the club promote themselves around town. We once had great crowds but all the years of having a poor team has taken it's toll and will take some pulling back. Our crowds are increasing steadily but like you say, we should be attracting 5 figure crowds even though we've not won any real silverware for quite a few years. Maybe a Wembley win or a Grand Final appearance may kick start that. I live in hope though.

No offence here but even the infamous "free game" the other year didn't get the punters in

I thought 12,127 was quite good actually against Catalans.

The figures did improve from when Huddersfield first returned to SL but appear fairly static recently between the 7K and 8K mark. The coalition government inspired austerity measures couldn't have come at a worse time for clubs looking to build both on and off the field.

2003 ….. 4,750
2004 ….. 4,362
2005 ….. 5,373
2006 ….. 6,407
2007 ….. 7,083
2008 ….. 7,827
2009 ….. 7,908
2010 ….. 7,386
2011 ….. 7,831 (after 7 home fixtures)

I think because we have become one of the better sides in SL, SKY are showing us more which hits our average attendance. Too many of our fans stay at home to watch the game. When we aren't on SKY then our attendances are better. That's my reason for the average crowd staying at around the same level and i'm sticking to it

It got me in. I thought it was a good game too.

I like Hudds. I backed them to come close last year and this year I said a GF beckoned. We're halfway through now and I've not seen anything to change my mind. Hudds vs an other at the mo in my eyes.

Isn't it nice when we can have a decent discussion

Ah but you aint won anything yet... And Crabtree has got a funny name...And Nathan has got a big mouth.....

Seriously Huddersfield look very impressive this season from what I have seen with the added ability now to be devastating in attack from deep. Some fabulous tries last Saturday.

They seem to have Warringtons number too so I hope that's one of the semi's with us bs Wigan/Saints the other

Wrestling isn't as popular as it once was.
