Crowds back : Wed May 19, 2021 5:00 pm  

Just to say that it was great to see crowds back on the TV on Monday. Made a world of difference.

Since the pandemic, I have been watching the NRL more. Firstly, because it was the only thing that was on. Secondly, they got the crowds back earlier.

Now the crowds are back, even on a limited basis, it makes a huge difference to the enjoyment of the game. I really enjoyed the Wire and Giants game, and a large part, or even the whole part, was the presence of the crowd.

How many were there at the Wire v Shudds game, please??

Can’t beat a good crowd cheering your team on and baying for blood at the opposition all at the same time , certainly will be strange on Sunday . What I’ve always loved about the sport is the banter from home fans as well as opposing fans ,it’s what set our game apart . Can vaguely remember as a youngster going to the boulevard and it getting a bit tasty but those days were few and far between and long may it continue . Football can only dream about supporters from both clubs been stood together and having a good crack ,amazing .

I think it was restricted to 4,000, but it still made a difference.

Hudds took their usual amount .....

When Shudds are at home, that will be like full crowd!

Think you should remember that your club have tickets on sale to the public for the 1st game back - Hudds or no one else for that matter need to do that as they are all taken by season ticket holders before you take the mick

That's a fair point, but in Huddersfield's case Davey subsidises the cost so much they'd have to sell 150% more tickets than us to make the same money.
So not as cool as it sounds.

fact remains you guys couldn't give your tickets away to your own fans let alone sell, just be careful when thrwoing stones eh?

So every SL club has over 4K season ticket holder’s? How come HKR fans were at cas if that was the case
