I don't think it's the number that's the issue to be fair. It's the quality of the support that upsets me.

The way fans are spread out at Wembley and the all-seated factor makes it difficult to get anything going so don't be too hard on yopur fellow fans. It doesn't help when you are behind either.



The ones I met yesterday were great.

We were chacing the game from the first min. What was there to shout about? Also, i bet we were so quiet before hand as we were all nervous we might throw it down the pan like we usually do in front of TV cameras, just like we did!



From the state of the game, to take nothing away from wire who were the better side on the day, they didnt win it! We lost it!!! 2 very soft trys in the first 10 mins, and very little idea when attacking. Which this season has been pretty good!



At least we didnt do the Wigan Walk!

You know I wouldn't take issue with what you are saying but the problem here is not the fans but the ticket allocation.



If there was more time to pre-plan tickets and to get the singers all together they would make enough noise to get the other people singing. Bearing in mind we were overlooking you we were not able to hear you at all.



Whilst you complain that these people have chosen Wembley as their first game and come out for the day trip you fail to see that these people are the future. Get them all to games at the Galpharm and we have 14,000+ average attendances and they will learn the songs over time.



They way you are talking you sound like you want the dark days at Fartown to return with 500 fans watching us lose to Nottingham. We need these fans to come week in week out and learn our songs.

Wadski, i understand what your saying but the point is i dont think it would have mattered how many singers were sat together as 95% of the people supporting us had no intention of making any noise yesterday ,and even 500 of us together wouldn't have made a difference as around us there were plenty of people trying to get some encouragement goingbut no one responded at all !!

As a neutral i wanted huddesfield to win.

When i ordered my tickets from the RFL i got ask which set of fans do i want to sit with,i said huddersfield.....i honestly thought your fans would get into the spirit of the CC and i was expecting a great atmospher



I was amazed at the empty seats around me, i was in block L section 544.

It was like a morgue, as a neutral i think i was shouting your team on more than your own fans.



Maybe the extra 12,000 fans in the hudds end were made up of neutral or huddersfield town fans who cant get up for a rugby game...i dont know.

Its hard to get the noise going at Wembley its a very open stadium seating wise I shaked hands with a few of your fans after who were good sports an said best team won I wish them well for them playoffs I wouldnt be so hard on your fans you have alot of good ones.

How many more would Castleford or Wakey have brought to Wembley, had they got there? Do you think Catalans brought thousands over when they made the final? Pretty much the whole of the RL world became Dragons fans for the day that year!



I don't think the point on here is about numbers; it's about the vocal enthusiasm of the fans who went. If as has been suggested some of the fans were there for the first time then they will have been inhibited by their ignorance but they will have still caught the atmosphere because it's undeniable at Wembley. It's a shame that Hudds fans who do sing couldn't have been seated together but then both teams had such a short time to get ready for the final that it was probably impossible for the work to be done. The RFL needs to sort that out for next year because having such a short gap between the semi and final will have put pressure on Hudds when a longer time spell would have given them chance to get interest going on a local basis and make proper plans.

Sorry for butting in here on your forum, guys. But, FWIW, I think that Daz is right. I was in the huddersfield end myself, cheering for you guys, and I got asked by some huddrsfield fans to sit down and try to be quiet!!! I was trying to get some support for your team!!! As was my Dad, and father in law!! All to no avail, so ended up enjoying how the Warrington supporters got behind their side, and cheering on the Giants on my own, In a Cas top!!! Doenst quiet seem right does it??

Anyway, I enjoyed my day out down there, hope all you guys did too. Unlucky on the day. The bounce of the ball never went for you I'm affraid. Hope to see you in the play offs.

Whats cas and wakey or catalans got to do with it.

I know for a fact if cas got there, there would have been as much noise as the warrington fans made. Anyhow it's not about what other clubs 'would' have brought. It's about why the hudderfield fans just didnt for some reason be up for the game. As the other cas fan as said most where just happy to sit with there arms folded in nice quiet surroundings.

Would they? How do you know?



I'm just not sure it's right for other teams' fans to be critical of Hudds' fans. No-one knows how their own fans would react to Wembley until they got there themselves.

I was there in '86 and '92!! And we made loads more noise on both occassions!! (just a shame I have to go so far back for us being there!!)
