I posted this on the VT.
=#FF0000You are having a Giraffe arent you.
Official club statistics show that fri night games 40% of Season Ticket holders do not attend
Out of our group of 10. 4 cannot attend this game so some personal experience backs it up
If our ST sales are 5000 then that means that 2000 Giants fans will not be attending.
If Wigan bring 1500 then i reckon the attendance will be about 7000 to 7500. Tops.
I know of a lot of regular fans who have to travel who cannot attend fri night fixtures, with it being on Sky they will not attend.
Friday night games are disastrous for the Giants attendances regardless of whether they are on Sky or not.
Wigan would need to bring over 3500 for us to be anywhere near 10,000 |

Some wont be able to make it, some will. Some will choose not to because it's on the box but some who perhaps aren't regulars may choose to come because potentially it's a cracking game. We'll just have to wait and see. There's no point kicking off about the crowd before the game has even started, let the haters do that if it proves to be a disappointing crowd.
I'm a bit perplexed at the moment with some attitudes on here. Things are going pretty well yet people search for reasons to complain, be that about players or crowds or whatever. Fair enough don't go crazy Hull KR style at this stage of the season but there's no value in actively searching for negatives either.

| Quote ="ShelleyGiant"If as you say 40% of our season ticket holders can't be bothered turning up for this match then I really despair (do we really deserve a competetive SL team
), if the regulars (season ticket holders) can't be bothered getting down to the ground to give the lads the support they deserve in a match like this then we might as well give up. I'll be really gutted for Ken Davey and Co if we don't get a 5 figure crowd on Friday, we'd around 8,000 Fartown fans there on Sunday and I'd expect them and a few more to turn up to watch a top clash with the current SL champions.
For what it's worth 1 of our regular gang is away on holiday but 4 more non regulars are coming to the game.
'"
it is not that they cannot be bothered it is about Demographics.
A lot of our season ticket holders are women and children and families..
Smaller kids cannot stay up that late.. If i kept my kids up until 9.30 pm they would be going spare. By the time i get home it is nearly midnight so they do not go.
If parents are not taking their kids then they are less likely to go themselves. If they go they have to sort out a baby sitter it is not worth the hassle.
A lot of women dont want to be out that late on a friday night.
Lots of our fans also travel a long way to games. If you have a 250 mile round trip to a game doing that in a rush on a fidaynight in rush hour and then driving back late again puts people off.
we go through this every year and it is not the fault of the fans. It is a sad fact of life that Sky call the shots and it has a negative effect on our crowds.
Giants fans like sundays or saturday evenings and hate fridays. |

Spot on Danril, FWIW if we beat Wigan on Friday, I think this will tease out a few more for the Wakey game as we'll start to bring in the glory hunters, sad but true.

Yes, derogatory garbage:
"Overall, we have to do what Hull did to us last Sunday. Frustrate the hell of out Huddersfield. We don't need to play dirty because if we do I think they could bully us, they like that type of game. But we shouldn't be afraid to just find touch on the last tackle. Keep turning them round, make the pace of the game slow and that will help us to compete. Doing that will keep the already sp Huddersfield crowd quiet and that lack of atmosphere so often rubs off on the team playing at home."
We like to play dirty do we? Garbage. Sp Huddersfield crowd? We get more at home than half the league, just because we don't get gates as high as Wigan doesn't automatically make our crowds sp. Lack of atmosphere? I've been having a hoot, ta. Garbage.

In a match review it includes:

What a dick. Combining ill informed comment with 'pychology for dummies' insights.
Does the moron who writes that bilge comment on the crowds of every opposition team?
he/ she can't even get the rugby bits right.Included in those not playing for the Giants are : McGilvray / Patrick / Ferguson. All 3 are in the England Knights squad and are very capable players. Though apparently only Andy raleigh is missing |

It's pretty ironic to infer that Huddersfield are the dirty side and then dismiss every coach in the league who has complained about Wigan's 'Melbournisms' as a whiner.

ATEOTD why slag off Huddersfields style of play, crowds and supposed lack of atmosphere? Why does it finish off slagging off Leeds fans? =#FF0000Completely unnecessary. Arrogant piffle and ridiculously one eyed to boot.
Wigan as a club have lots of things that other clubs would like to emulate. That doesn't give low brow egotists the right to slag off others with baseless arrogant rubbish.
Nail on head. But ATEOTD lots of Wigan fans enjoy this and i would guess McGuire feeds into it to miotivate the players no one likes us and we dont care.. This thread says it all.
viewtopic.php?f=28&t=486635
and that was from a moderator who tend to be in my experience reasonable fair and modest
Do not get drawn into feeding their fantasies, keep cool everyone and do not feed the trolls. Concentrate on the Giants and what we are doing, forget the inferiority complexes and righteous anger THEY ARE NOT WORTH IT.
Winning on the pitch is all that matters. Enjoy it when we win and look forward to the next game. Let it be a lesson that when we do win things we are gracious in victory and magnanimous in defeat. WE ARE BETTER THAN THEM as fans, let us hope our team turns out to be better than theirs. |

Maybe some of the people whinging etc weren't around in the dark days so they have only seen the positive, happy side to being a Fartowner!!
20 years ago i would have laughed at anyone who would have said Huddersfield RLFc would be in the position we find ourselves, with the quality of player we have , with the crowds were getting but is happening before our eyes.
Not saying anything bad about any of our fans but those who have only been along for the recent ride haven't seen anything negative whatsoever yet so i guess the things people whinge about are negative to them !!
Anyway, i reckon Wigan will bring 2,000 + on friday so i'm damn sure we can get 7-8000 home fans for this one - i think the club have missed a marketing trick here too - The current leaders v the current champions should have been marketed more ! |

what aa laod of crap - its not like they are putting out a team of kids, as far as i can see they are all Super League players anyway and it is a sorry fact of our game if our current champions couldnt put out a 'competitive side' after losing a few players !!
Its like going back 15 years is this - Wigan suddenly find themselves having a good season and lo and behold the cockiness and arrongance that EVERY RL fan in the 90's hated is back !!!!  |

We like to play dirty, umm which side is missing 2 key players because they can't keep their fists to themselves.
