| First I found at short notice
I take it you want a copy of the gate receipts and ticket sales on RFL headed paper?
Since you dont take a public statement from a Managing Director as official.

Proof that it is a 'throwaway comment'?
Evidence that Thewlis has been making innaccurate comments in the past on matters of detail?
Your objective verifiable evidence of the number of Giants fans in attendance.
Cheers.

| How long before a SL club offers Brad Fittler a contract?
He is a far better tactician than Nathan Brown and his set players are the best I have ever seen.

No, the burden of evidence is on [iyou[/i for casting doubt on that figure in the first place.
Edit - whoops, you didn't do that at all. My apologies.

to be fair Halifax had thousands of bulls fans to swell their gate we didnt!!
we had the pleasure of 800 ![Shocked icon_eek.gif](//www.rlfans.com/images/smilies//icon_eek.gif) of you ,i would hazard a guess that the last time Fax got 8,000 against you they probably made up less than half the crowd themselves

No answers to my questions? No surprise there
I love your 'burden of evidence' comment. Like something out of a low brow courtroom drama.
You pick a Giants crowd number that makes you happy. Go ahead......feel better now?......Super.

He didn't mention how many the club sold in this initial article though. Just how many went.
Why are you so concerned about our attendances - surely it should be a concern of the club and the RFL?
If we 1500 fans turn up at Wembley I am sure the atmosphere will be just as good as if we 15,000. After all I'm certainly not going to be looking at the crowd during the game.

No figures, I see. 200 less than 'x', how illuminating.

| wow what a dumb debate.
huddersfield are one of the english clubs that offer promise for the future.
if SL is ever to become like the NRL then its clubs like hudds and warrington that are going to do it.

I am reliably informed by a Huddersfield fan I know that the Giants sold 6k for Twickenham. Further I think we would remember if Giants had sold out their allocation in 2006 and had to request 3/4k more. So where's Thewlis getting his figures from?

Wire, maybe. For Huddersfield, under 8k for their one home fixture between making the final and Wembley itself would suggest otherwise. For comparison, the last time Bulls went to Wembley, the week before they got 15k for the visit of... now who was it? Ah yes, Sheffield. Whatever happened to them?
