Sat on halfway with some family from huddersfield and was so proud to be a
wire with our atmosphere. You could see the wire players' faces as they were
greeted with some amazing singing - from the halfway line it was incredible.
I think our support gave the platform and passion for our side to 'give it some'
compared to Hudds fans who were poor vocally- their players were looking for
some inspiration but were overwhelmed by our singing.
Probably the most comprehensive wire victory i've ever seen considering that Hudds were:- at home, virtually full strength, up for revenge (Brown rested some forwards agains't Wigan last week), Hudds 2nd best defence and a host of quality players backing up their 4th position in a close super league top 4.
AMAZING. COME ON WIRE !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Dont know what it looked like because the cameras never swayed to the huddersfield fans untill they were all walking out with 20 mins to go, but it sounded to me like there were more Wire fans there than Hudds.

Now I know not to take anything the BBC says as being close to the truth when it comes to rugby league, but they are saying the attendance was 6641. If that's true it's pretty poor, although obviously it was on TV. I bet there weren't many more Hudds fans than Wire fans if the BBC is right.

3500 in the away stand or very close to that, fantastic support just like last weeks turnout in Scotland

A Hudds fan said on another post that the away end held c.5000 fans -
virtually full of wire fans. I was sat in the adjacent stand and reckon that the combined number of Hudds fans in my stand and in the one opposite were equal to our fans in the away bit, at least 8k. Really can't understand how the attendance was offically that low.

i think 3500 if allocated seats.. 2600 ish if unreserved seats...for whatever reasons

excellent performance from you guys, was a pleasure to watch, fast, freeflowing rugby (something F.C know F**k all about lol). well played, can see you going all the way!!!

top drawer for atmosphere today.Thats how the Hj should be every home game.

To be fair it was live on TV and compared to Leeds 5300 and Bradford 4200 on Friday night and no other matches on TV. It stands up quite well.

Great atmosthere in one quarter of the ground. I arrived about 1.10pm and the only people around were Wire fans. The Huddersfield turnout was a disgrace, even allowing for the leeds United match.

You can't compare it. It was fourth v second in SL, it was your chance to get revenge for the Cup Final, the tickets were only £12.00, Leeds played Blackpool and Bradford played Leigh, where were your fans? We brought arond 3000, surely Hudds could have managed a few more than 3,600?

totally agree fella.. twickers was poor in 2006, but last year was worse as it was wembley..we dont have a strong fanbase due toprevious 40 years of crapness

well played..you reminded me of us in 2006.....excellent performance.

Totaly agree, but there are various reasons,:-Hudds Town,Leeds Utd, Leeds RL, Bradford Bulls all within 14 miles plus the fact that we have been in the RL wilderness for 40 odd years, If you look at our average support for the last 5 years we have achieved year on year increases,it will take time and having better consistency would help.
Remember you are talking to the supporters not the people who do not turn up.

fantastic performance , can see us beating leeds next week but a different kettle of fish

shocked by the attendance absolutley poor 6k plus if that

First of all that was a fantastic result for the Wire and was awesome in that away end today, well done to Wire and our fans



As for the attendance, I know CC cup attendances are generally lower than league games but for the tie of the round with two top four sdes who were both desparate to return to Wembley, 6000 was a poor turn out. I'm sure the Hudds club will be dissapointed with their home support, can't fault those who did turn up though.

Your fact about other teams being within 14 miles, the same could be said about the Wire, we have 4 premiership teams and 3other super league teams with 20 mins drive. Plus according to the many of the know it all RL fanners the Wire have done nothing for 35 years so in that case we compare well with yourselves



Unfortunately for the Giants you caught the Wire on top form today, everything went well for us, some lucky calls.

I do think selecting Hodgson was a mistake for you guys though, will todays game be a set back for him? , he certainly didn't look fit.

Hope you get back to winning ways next week.


See you guys in a couple of weeks

In 30yrs of watching the Wire(not continuously may i add)that must go down as 1 of the best ever performances i've seen.It was a joy to be there + what an atmosphere.No question about it that the fans were like an extra man.Really glad i decided to goicon_smile.gif

Best I've seen in 44 years at the House of Pain (and at times it's been very painful)..

best supports in the league imo over 3k hopefully this will persuade alot more to go leeds...up the wire

the last time I saw us take a team apart like that away from home was v leeds..Andy greg was passing to Mark Roberts!

it doesn't get much better than today...99%

54-16 I believe?

my memory isn't that good!!!



I just remember it being one of those games where every pass stuck and we ran them ragged!
just like today!

Cheers 4 that mate & gutted that u lost last week in ed thought u were defo goin 2 win after ur 1st half perform but had 2 leave at half time due the vast temp drop!! Good luck 2 the rest of the season mate

we've been saying for a lot of the season that sometime we were going to click and give someone an absolute shoeing.

There it was.

Been watching the Wire for the best part of 30 years,what a performance.
Best i've seen from a warrington side in many a year.
Tony Smith take a bow.
