To be fair I suspect most people who want to go to Wembley will either have already bought their tickets or will buy them anyway. I suspect this nove is more to compensate for the people who would have gone to the match and are going to Wembley and try to get people who wouldn't normally have gone to the match to turn up in order to swell the attendance. After all the Challenge Cup final at Wembley or Yeovil, it's a no-brainer unless you have absolutely zero interest in Rugby League.






Somewhere in the dust of time rest the bones of the Galilean
He who was spat upon. He whose face was marred beyond all human likeness
Somewhere buried among the lies of the past rests the tomb of Yeshua
Of he who was made God in a world without Hope.
And when this son of Joseph is found. What then will the Church of Rome say?
Prepare yourself for the day is coming. And men will say
"Blessed are the wasted lives who perished in the flames of the holy war"

I went to the game last night for the first time in about 5 years... (and even then i only went about once a year), as we had free tickets. The first 20 mins were absolutely awful, however town did look alot abetter as they grew in confidence.

The thing that struck me is the differnt attitude between football and rugby fans. Alot of the town fans appeared to clap and applaud every play, even if the cross / shot / pass was dreadful. I think in rugby, you get applause / credit for doing something good, but wouldn't get applauded for knocking on / throwing a forward pass....

Anyway as it was free it was definatley value for money, however still don't think i'll be buying my blue and white stripes just yet.

Awesome result and it could have been more - and on the back of a great performance against Southampton on Saturday!

It's a great time to be a sport fan in Huddersfield at the moment, long may it continue!

Erm, what about it? Are you suggesting this is a not a great time to be a Giants fan because of one lost league game? Of course it is, we've got the best Huddersfield RL side for decades! Yes, it's good to be a Huddersfield supporter right now.

I work with a big Town fan but he has already got his ticket for Wembley. He's just chuffed a Huddersfield team is playing there. I'm not a Town fan but I would be happy if they were to play there, and would probably go to Wembley to support them. Glory hunters eh? :lol:

i for one think town are taking the mick by selling tickets for a fiver on cup final day, to me it shows a complete lack of respect to the giants wembley apperance they are only bothered about town, i find it hard to believe that the giants would have done the same if the role was reveresed, in fact i seem to remember when town got in play offs the giants moved the game forward a day.

Town's fixture list is very clogged up at the moment, moving the game forward a day wasn't really a viable option if they want to perform at their best.






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