We have never suggested it but Leeds have!! We often have 1k but never get credit for it!! Leeds have always suggested upto 7K but I think we've only ever had that many once and certainly not tonight!!

Had it been a Sunday 3pm k.o and not on Sky it would be 15,000 IMO

Now I'm no Huddersfield fan but to come on here and criticise Huddersfield for a crowd of 11,500+ when the cameras are at the ground is extremely rude. Having built the support up this was agreat crowd it may well have been bigger on another day and without cameras but but Leeds are the champions and have a fair share of glory fans its only 12 years when headingley was hosting 5,000 fans.

Yeah no doubt!! Our attendance was nothing to do with freebies neither like last season! People genuinely wanted to pay for the experience quite a big walk up tonight! Many from other teams were here tonight saw many other club shirts scatted around all wanting a Giants success which unfortunatley didn't come!

I thought this thread was about crowd numbers. You were expectng a big crowd weren't you but it was 4,000 down on last years fixture.

leeds support was shocking, 2,000-2,500 max.

last years game was the first game of a new season with the university buying a whole stand which it gave to schools,etc and leeds filled their end last year,were not worried anyway,it was 5,000 up on 3/4 years ago so grounds for optimism i reckon

and as for the original post, would leeds fans make any noise if they were 22-0 at HT? only time they make any noise is when then circus band starts up

a few saints fans made the trip to tonight also saw a few bully's, couple dewsbury and even a fev fan!
its typical of some ppl on ere, that for years we get slated for having poor crowds, "why cant hudds get more fans" etc etc then when we do we get slated for ONLY having 11,500, you gotta laugh at some saddo's
