Yes, the main sponsors have bought a load of tickets and are giving them away to their staff...who on earth would have seen that one coming, I have never heard of such a thing.

Well, they're free to me. That's what I meant.

Good for you

Let's hope they have more ticket turnstiles for this game. The Saints game queueing was a bit OTT. Change one of the money gates into ticket ones to alleviate congestion.

Should still be a good crowd against Hull. Hull brought over 3000 last year and the Uni have got literally 1000's of tickets as part of the sponsorship deal. The performance against Saints was good enough hopefully for a lot of the part timers and first timers to turn up again. Could be 13,000+

Would love it if it was but can't see it. If it's 11k again I'll be very pleasantly surprised.

Think positive Danril, "If you build it they will come."

Could be 2000+ from the Uni, 2500-3000 from Hull. There were 9000 Hudd fans there at the weekend, even the most fickle part timer would have to say that you did well against Saints and with a bit better finishing could have beaten them. I'd be very suprised if you don't have more there against Hull than against Saints.

Friday games on TV are generally less well attended by our lot though.

I think 11k would be a tremendous gate and still be a very positive one, so I'm not going to get too ambitious!

This is where the season ticket thing comes in now, with more tickets sold, we are more likely to get those people (or someone) coming to the game, after all it is now paid for.

Well, so long as the weather isnt cruddy.

Catalans at home last year on a friday night and Sky = 4000. That's the lowest we had. I'd say 8-9000. with the sponsor tickets.

Yeah but this year you've got 5500 season pass holders and Hull bring at least 2000, plus a couple of thousand from the Uni. Add maybe a couple of thousand walk up and you've got 11000+. Plus last year when you played Cats you were second bottom in the league, when you plyed them earlier in the season you had over 7000 in. You Giants fans are so negative

I know the club will be hoping for another good crowd.

1st game 4071

2nd game was the open house one 12,127


We've never had 7000 for cats at home

Anyway im hoping for 10000+

My mistake, don't know what I was thinking.

Good opening crowd, hopefully you'll bring plenty to Odsal on Fri for a change too.

Hopefully you'll bring a few to the Galpharm for a change too.

Our fans like good quality parking next to the stadium / seats under cover with unrestricted views / ability to bring under 12s for free and seat prices for locations like your main stand black/amber are comfortably below £20. If you can offer that at these tough financial times i am sure we will come on our droves.

good point MG,but lets face it,its just a dump and not safe!!

will [uNOT[/u be there

So you mean your a lazy, fairweather supporter?

No, he means bradford is a dump.

Well he claimed that all of your fans need those specific arrangements to be able to go to a game, that's obviously not true as you bring a fair crowd most times. I'll give Stuart Duffy a call and see if he can arrange Limos for all the Huddersfield fans and ask him to completely flatten Odsal so that you can all park up and watch from your cars. It's funny how Hull FC manage to bring one of the best crowds of the season from a lot further than Hudds' and they're also accustomed to an all-seater. Maybe he's just a lazy fairweather supporter?

Some of us don't mind slumming it now and again

I assume you are pretending to be this stupid.

I am pleased to learn that Hull allow u12s in for free - when did they start doing this?

Also delighted that they have side on, mid ground, adult seats for under £20 - when did they start doing this?

Can you point me to the website where this information is available or are you just a bit of a pratt?



I liked the bit where you had to resort to generalising to ALL fans.

Can you get Mr Duffy to sign up Gareth Gates's sister? I would love to see her race around and around on a go kart......I really would.

Most people would jump at the change of getting out of Hull even if it was just for a fews hours....

Besides, half the Bradford supporters are from Huddersfield anyway

I'll be there tomorrow anyway. I'm determined to see us win there one day after all the times I've watched us get beat. If I didn't go and we won then I'd be gutted, far more so than going and watching us get beat. After years of condescension I want to walk away with my nose stuck in the air for once!

And the only way I'll do that is to keep on going 'til we win. And on the plus side I still must have ~40 years left for them to do it!
