our crowds aren't bad, people just like to think they are because 10 years ago they were and some people just will not see further than what happened before.

It's the same every time, isn't it. They win, the trolls come and gloat. They lose, the trolls come and moan about something else instead. Cheats, dirty, poor crowd etc blah.

Transparent. And like all trolls the toys go flying when they get a bit back.

I think you are right. People cannot accept the Giants are no longer whipping boys with a low crowd, no hope of winning, etc. etc. It is hard for them to understand, especially the "big four", when we win...it is still considered a shock when we beat them...they cannot understand it...I mean its ONLY Huddersfield...well its about time they all woke up and realised we are on our way up and things are going to get better and better...we have a great coach, a great team (which can and will get even better I am sure) and things are looking rosey...no I am wrong, things are looking Claret and Gold

they should but that is the problem, people will never be willing to accept Huddersfield are a decent side with decent support because for years we were a poor side with crap support and that gave people ammunition to have a go at us and rightly so at the time.
but some of them still think we are like that - its ignorance really,they'd rather think averaging 8 and a half thousand is poor and being 4th in the league and a cup semi final is the sign of a poor team.
If Salford or Quins for example were in our position they would be praised to high heaven for what they have achieved
at the end of the day some people just dont like us and will never give our club credit for the progress its making.

You just either don't get the whole thing about your gates being massively inflated by away support or you are just continuing to ignore it. Pointless.

having praised the good nature and honesty of KR fans on your boards im afraid you are a big letdown.

so as your average crowd is lower than ours how stupid does that make you look?

where did you get 6000 from?? we took over 12000 down to twickenham (when did you last get to a challenge cup final or semi !)

another deluded fan jumping on the support band wagon when they lose to us..

think you will find we are 5th on the average gates at the moment

Yes but people pay to get into our ground.

As they do at ours.

Same lines, over and over. Accuracy doesn't come into it, does it!

Ban 'em all!

It wasn't funny the first time, never mind the 1,052,684,546,854th.
