Personally I prefer to be standing, so in previous seasons being charged a bit more for a seat at The Galpharm hasn't enhanced by enjoyment!

We have a perfectly good car park at Richard Dunns, which is as good if not certainly better for getting away from than at Huddersfield. After all the talking up on here about the Giants being on the up and over taking the Bulls, we should see a good 2k from the Giants with it being so local.

I won't hold my breath though, anything over 1k will probably improve on previous seasons..

Cattle are more adapted for standing, its true.

And pigs are better adapted for sitting/laying down.

And humans best at adapting to the relevant surroundings.

How much more than £17 did you pay in previous seasons at the Galpharm?

I am sure your enjoyment as not been enhanced at the Galpharm in recent years.

Funny how you feel the need to have a pop about our travelling support but cannot take it when we point out that your facilities are dire. All those successful years and you seem to have put nothing back into the stadium.

Lets assume we can only muster 500. You are the mighty Bulls with a mighty following. So I assume there will be at least 15500 at the game. unless your home support is falling away?

I am under no illusions that the facilities at Odsal are outdated and no longer good enough for a side such as the Bulls. However I merely pointed out that we have several parking options available, and one which is literally across the road. So hardly a fair criticism of travelling to Odsal.

The Giants away following has been pretty disappointing in recent years, perhaps due to the inevitable spanking regularly handed out to your side by the Bulls put a few off. But it would appear that your side is improving and many on here feel that the Giants are close over-taking the Bulls, so I would expect perhaps that away support might improve?

As for your 15K, after playing Hull KR and attracting around 9800 Bulls (out of +12k fans).. I would expect the Giants game to reach somewhere between 10-11k.

I was referring to paying more to go to Huddersfield in comparison to the price at Odsal and some other standing grounds.

If you pre-booked you'd have been paying a quid or so more to get in, max.

Good value when you weigh up the facilities. Roof, toilets etc.
