Very interesting that Huddersfield announce much high gates when trying to impress the SL authorities and when they don't have to share gate money

please - you make yourself look silly - the attendance was over stated if anything has 3200 or so cas fans well out numbered the home fans - you only had to look around the streets n bars before the game to see that!

I don't think there was anything close to 3200 Cas fans to be honest, maybe 2400 at a push IMO.

Huddersfield probably had a couple of thousand fans in each stand. Still pretty poor, but I think they know that.

yep, 2300 Cas fans - and i dont think you will find one Giants fan on these boards saying our turn out wasn't anything but poor for the importance of the game, I and most of the others that post on here went ,we cant do anything about the people that dont.

tell me if i'm (genuinely dont know)

at a guess i'd say West Stand holds 9000
East stand 7000
north stand 4500
south stand 4000
total capacity is 24,500

so the south stand hold circa 4000 you can not say is was only over half full the middle 4 gangways were full 15 ins before KO no seats left which leaves the end two. now i know for a fact the end bloack of seats was 90% full i was sat there and as for the opposite end block (next to east stand i think was only half full at best. overall i'd say 3200 cas fans easy!!!

there was under 2,400 Cas fans i was told that approx half an hour after the match ended.
the capacity of the stand was reduced because there was netting on some of the seats so the capacity of the stand on sunday was under 3,500 and none of the blocks were totally full

If that stand we were in holds 4000, then maybe I'd say 2500-2700 Cas fans. There were quite a few empty seats in each front corner, the netted off areas and there were a fair few empty seats scattered amongst the crowd. I know this because there were 4 empty seats behind me and 2 in front of me.

As Daz said though, the Huddersfield fans and club will know their turnout was poor whether they had 3000 or 4000 (which is essentially the argument here) at the game.

Let's not turn this into a pointless debate. The fact remains, we took a lot of very vocal supporters to a game that many would have chosen not to bother with due to TV coverage and we should be proud of that. We sang our hearts out for 80 minutes. Let's think positive.
