I've been a Wire for 37 years now. Having also been to games as a neutral (Wigan, Leeds) I can say that we are far more passionate than either of those. The only ones I have seen with the same passion are Salford fans.



When things are going great, we are great. However when things are going bad we take it to the extreme, eg, Matt king, Matt Rodwell, Steve Anderson era. It seems that you can't have one without the other.

Like Fifi and Wuzz and Wadski we wre in the top tier with a good view -but it wouldnt have mattered if wed had Take That`s PA --you wouldnt have heard our 7 voices !!



My take on this is this

They scored -after what I still consider a dubious pick up



We then had a try disallowed that after watching the recording looks Ok and endorsed by Jonathan Davis on commentary

We then score to level --but we would have been in the lead

It would have been interesting to see what effect that would have had on the Warrington chant and noise !! - sadly we`ll never know!



One thing I do know is this

At Warrington we kicked off the scoring - never lost the lead - and frankly though outnumbered were noisier than Saints -- and it continued



I know sing when youre winning comes to mind -- but its fact --and its not a total criticism



Leeds Saints and Wigan supporters can be exceptionally quiet when playing catch-up rugby - as Saints were against our depleted team the other Friday

Yes Warrington outnumbered us

They hadnt the distractions in their town of a football team playing the same day and at a reduced price entry fee -(a "gesture" - which after all KD has done for them - I find absolutely despicable )

I am informed that they even announced it at the previous home game that it had been brought forward to accommodate another "sporting event" - If true (perhaps someone could confirm" )its childish to the extreme in my opinion and an absolute disgrace!!!

Nevertheless -- I still feel that "we didnt really turn up as a team and some players were far below the standard they set themselves in the semis - but thats sport



But I dont blame the fans /the coach / or the team

And whilst we can "lift" the team - if leading- it shouldnt be a necessary contribution



Do you shout for Boycott - who then scores a ton



Do you clap Higgins - who then scores a 147



or Tiger who then goes round in 6 under??



The pride determination and guts has to come from within as well !!

Once out there -- the coach has little influence on the team hes trained all week --or the fans either

and some times - for whatever reason - it doesnt happen

Thats sport - thats life Otherwise underdogs would never win when their "big" opponents have twice / three times the support - (vocal or otherwise!!)

( EG Hunslet v Hudds- ???)



After watching the rerun several times again --we werent that far away but with the two disallowed tries for instance we would have been looking at a much lesser differential and even had Warrington playing catch up - thats how close it really was

Fate,lady luck, and a visually impaired official werent on our side - and boy would we have needed some noise to counterract all that!!



So lets scrap this self criticism - accept it wasnt to be -- and, despite the injury problems, pick ourselves up for the matches we still have to play



The benefit for a season ticket boost by winning some silverware is temporary "on hold" - lets hope we get a second bite at the cherry



Then the fans might really start singing Daz!!

Couldn't agree more, I won't bother going to watch Town anymore after a stunt like that. £5 to watch a game of football, it worked though as they pulled in over 12,000.

I saw at least one town fan at Wembley, if that makes a difference?

Lol not really considering they were playing Yeovil!!!!!!!!!

I would say generally with the apathy they dont! If we cant get fans along now I doubt we ever will much as it hurts to say this. My fear is that when Ken steps aside then what - I really fear for our future as a Superleague club and no one can say we havent had a fair crack of the whip. ATEOTD if the people wont watch the team what can you do?.

I've often wondered the same thing, it sends shivers down my spine really because he is without doubt one of the best chairmen around....he isn't even from Hudds himself, so what chance of a wealthy local fan taking over from him?

unless i have a big lottery win none

be careful having a pop about towns reduced ticket prices crackerjack and anwar when i did this last week digger branded me a idiot for raising the issue.

I think that says more about the mentality of Town fans rather than yourself Mr Goodie.

Although I can understand the disappointment of some of you with others amongst your support for not being as vocal as you would have liked, I personnally would like to commend every one of you that made it to the game.

Lets be honest, wether you made a weekend of it or went for the day you would have made a substantial financial commitment so watch your team, that alone shows passion for your club!

Every Huddersfield fan we spoke to before and after the game were fantastic and we had great banter all weekend, especially with the Hudds fans on our our campsite (Ponner and his family) who didn't even mind us 'borrowing' their big Huddersfield flag from their tent at 3 in the morning!

I personnally think that maybe your fans were possibly a little subdued by the walk onto Wembley way and the shear volume of Primrose and Blue support. Giants fans we chatted to on the walk in were gob-smacked by the numbers of Wire support and seemed a bit shell shocked by it.

Also the events of the game early on certainly wouldn't have helped and coupled with loss of Brown it was understandable really. Like has been said earlier on this thread, our support went a bit flat before half time when when the Giants started to fight back!

Huddersfield are a team on the up and your support will start to grow if you maintain the on-field performances! Best of luck in the play-offs!

well said bacon i for one totally agree with you, must admit when we came up to wembley couldnt believe the amouint of wire fans, that not to say the numbers who followed the giants were poor for me it was an excellent turn out from the giants, maybe not vocal enough but still there hoping for a victory which wasnt to be fair play to wire and their support lets hope we become part of a new big 3 with hkr
