Nobody is infallible. Even I will eventually make a mistake at some point.

i posted this on a discussion the VT about crwods which i think has contributed to our less than dramatic increase. I am not sure if it has affected other teams as well. I think there are only 4 SL teams who have better home than away records.

Quote:I would saY that there are two main reasons for that .

Our home form has been DIRE PARTICULARLY AT THE BEGINING OF THE SEASON AND I THINK THE NEW SUPPORTERS AND SPECCIES WE BROUGHT IN HAVE GONE AND NOT BOTHERED COMING BACK.

SECONDLY I THINK WE HAVE BEEN ON sky FOR 50% OF OUR HOME GAMES THIS SEASON, WHICH HAS MEANT CHANGING kos AND TIMES TO SUIT. WHEN YOU ADVERTISE AS A SUNDAY TEAM AND PLAY HALF YOUR GAMES ON SAT OR FRI NIGHT IT AFFECTS ATTENDANCES. MY KIDS HAVE ONLY ATTENDED HALF OF OUR HOME GAMES AS GETTING HOME AT 11 OR 12 AT NIGHT IS TOO LATE FOR THEM. I KNOW THIS AFFECTS A LOT OF OUR FANS. iT ALSO WILL AFFECT THE NUMBER OF UNNATTACHED WALK UP FANS AS WELL AS HOME SUPPORT. UNFORTUNATELY BEING SUCCESSFUL MEANS THAT YOU BECOME SKYS WHORE .

NB will watch out for caps lock next time

Bradford's 2008 average: 10,287.

Looking through we have:

Saints up 10% (11,664 v 10,642)
Leeds down 10% (15,935 v 17,824)
Us up 4% (8,100 v 7,820)
Rovers down 2% (8,405 v 8,554)
Quins down 14% (3,369 v 4,378)
Wakey down 21% (5,496 v 6,578)
Wire down 7% (8,869 v 10,718)
Wigan down 4% (13,929 v 14,505)
Cas level (7,470 v 7,501)
Hull up 1% (13,509 v 13,432)
Bradford level (10,268 v 10,287)
Salford 4,134
Celtic 3,778

Where do teh percentages for Quins & Wolves come from. I reckon Quibs are down 23% and Wolves down 17%. That's assuming yourfigures are correct.

These figures I've pretty much plagiarised from Hull FC's RLFans page so I can't vouch for their accuracy!

If London is Athens, Yorkshire is Sparta, a tougher community and proud of it.

see the link in my Catalan one as that is where they are from. Wigan Mod Bilko is a stat hero.

Don't forget last season we had the game against Catalan with the free tickets, that will have had a bearing on the increased average last season. All in all we are fairing pretty well this season.

I think the away following at the Galpharm has dropped alarmingly this season . Hull and Hull kr only brought half the amount they usually do and Leeds possibly only a third

But to be fair that is not a bad thing. To survive as a club we have to rely on our fans. If there is a slight increase in our attendances at the same time as there is a big drop in away support shows that we are doing something right in attracting HUDDERSFIELD fans. I am sure that we are then seeing spin offs in us having better away support and we must be doing better in regard to merchandising.

i would rather have an 8000 game average with 7000 giants fans than 9000 with 3000 away fans.

But the club has missed out on ticket revenue and the magical 10,000 average

It most certainly has but as DG says what would you prefer more home fans or more away fans! let that be the away followings concerns not ours especially as now we haven't been the most expensive for many seasons now so that can't be an excuse! Our away support has increased a lot this year even if many other fans wouldn't agree. I for one have been to more away fixtures this season than ever before!
