Al, can't believe only 6k in total, Pink Link must have been 3/4 full.

Yeah i've seen that on the giants board.

Thats why i questioned it, it looked that way on the telly and looked like 3 plus, either way great support.

i'd of said 3200 cas fans easy!



hudds support was terrible and certainly not worthy of a semi final side!

tough poo - we beat you ,worthy or not !!

i'd be highly embarrassed had i been a hudds fan/official

why ? we won and got into the semi final - thats what the idea of yesterday was about wasn't it ?

arguably one of the biggest game sof the saeason cut price tickets and about 3k maybe 3.5k fans bother showing up.

and......?

its what happens on the field that matters, we won on the field and i'm sure some of the fans that stayed away would have wished they had gone now after watching that !

Very interesting that Huddersfield announce much high gates when trying to impress the SL authorities and when they don't have to share gate money

please - you make yourself look silly - the attendance was over stated if anything has 3200 or so cas fans well out numbered the home fans - you only had to look around the streets n bars before the game to see that!

I don't think there was anything close to 3200 Cas fans to be honest, maybe 2400 at a push IMO.



Huddersfield probably had a couple of thousand fans in each stand. Still pretty poor, but I think they know that.

yep, 2300 Cas fans - and i dont think you will find one Giants fan on these boards saying our turn out wasn't anything but poor for the importance of the game, I and most of the others that post on here went ,we cant do anything about the people that dont.

tell me if i'm (genuinely dont know)



at a guess i'd say West Stand holds 9000

East stand 7000

north stand 4500

south stand 4000

total capacity is 24,500



so the south stand hold circa 4000 you can not say is was only over half full the middle 4 gangways were full 15 ins before KO no seats left which leaves the end two. now i know for a fact the end bloack of seats was 90% full i was sat there and as for the opposite end block (next to east stand i think was only half full at best. overall i'd say 3200 cas fans easy!!!

there was under 2,400 Cas fans i was told that approx half an hour after the match ended.

the capacity of the stand was reduced because there was netting on some of the seats so the capacity of the stand on sunday was under 3,500 and none of the blocks were totally full

If that stand we were in holds 4000, then maybe I'd say 2500-2700 Cas fans. There were quite a few empty seats in each front corner, the netted off areas and there were a fair few empty seats scattered amongst the crowd. I know this because there were 4 empty seats behind me and 2 in front of me.



As Daz said though, the Huddersfield fans and club will know their turnout was poor whether they had 3000 or 4000 (which is essentially the argument here) at the game.



Let's not turn this into a pointless debate. The fact remains, we took a lot of very vocal supporters to a game that many would have chosen not to bother with due to TV coverage and we should be proud of that. We sang our hearts out for 80 minutes. Let's think positive.

spot on mate ,well said - instead of picking fault with our support some Cas fans need to be praising there's - i have - and looking forward to the rest of the season

I've only just realised that all 3 of the coaches in your sig pic were at the game yesterday.

and not one of them moaned about us

cracking support yesterday from you lot, was disappointed with our turnout if i'm honest, im damn sure they'd turn out for the final should we get there







however your support will be totally eclipsed on friday night when hull kr will fill 3 out of the 4 stands.... no honestly they will..... stop laughing

I hope you have a big screen set up outside for the ones that can't get in.

It looked brilliant on tv, thats what it should be like every game, from what I have seen this season of Cas fans at our place, hudds and Hull, they can surely be up there with Wigan, Saints, Leeds, Hull KR, Hull FC, Warrington for good numbers of away fans.

I hope the Huddersfield tourism board are prepared for the sheer bulk of visitors. I reckon there'll be more Rovers fans in Huddersfield than Brits in Benidorm.

were even opening up Mirfield to accomodate them all - there will be 100 big screens set up between Huddersfield and Mirfield for them

Just about spot on there mate. When we looked across to the Cas stand we could see plenty of empty seats among the crowd, but anyone in that stand would think it was pretty full. But the attendance was pretty much how it is for the cup at present, take Wigan they had less than 10000 for theirs which is way down.



That`s the problem with BBC having it live plus the fact it was a great day weather wise and a lot of wives and kids probably went off for the day.



But the Cas support was the best so far this season beating Saints Leeds Hull. Well done Cas.
