We've known for yonks that stadium is not fit for puroose but all they can do is keeping winning and hope for some momentum. It would be just the giants luck to get to a cup final and have the association football team end up at Wembley. Everyone else looks solid. Big game for Wakey now Sunday. Not sure how much the HTAFC game affected us, maybe some casual sports fans may have chosen to stay in, keep warm and watch Town on TV rather than come out into the cold to watch Fartown? We've had 5,000 home supporters every game this season, so it's disappointing in that respect that we fell 1500 short. It could also be that it was our first evening game too and it may not be suitable kick off time for everyone. Lots of factors, but the club are doing some good things, which, given the weather, it's either been freezing, heavy rain, snowing or all 3 for all our games so far, hopefully that will pay off with warmer, longer nights. 2 https://www.facebook.com/HuddersfieldSA Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They prefer a ground with a good "tv arc" lots of people visible where the cameras can pick them up. https://www.facebook.com/HuddersfieldSA Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its not every game, you have to get it off a member so its people who are already connected to those interested. Plus ancilliary spend. Plus targeted before a big derby. Noone put Sir Kev in charge of marketing. Edited April 2 by ShropshireBull 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Josef K Posted April 2 Share Posted April 2 Great crowd at Cas as well, it looks like Radford is getting the player jelling now. A mate sent me a photo of what a couple of Wire fans had put on Twitter aimed at Charnley, it wasn’t very nice. I know people will apologise and say “it was the heat of the moment”, but the best thing to do is take a step back and take a deep breath. i imagine they are loyal fans to travel all that way on a v cold Friday night but those type of comments shouldn’t be put on social media for everyone to see.

Hey Kev season ticket holders have reserved places whether they turn up or not but Craven Park was packed to the rafters apart from the away section and it was a quite brilliant atmosphere. But hey it's everyone pays full price for our next home Super League game and there's now just 400 tickets left. It can't be much fun watching Leeds Rhinoceros at the moment so why not grab yourself a ticket while they are still available. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GUBRATS Posted April 2 Share Posted April 2 Well done HKR , filling a stadium no matter how you do it can be self serving in creating an inviroment that people then want to go back to again , I'll get shot down for this , but that's why a decent vocal away following can work as well , create the atmosphere , a shared emotion 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
