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!!)

I was there in 70-86-92.
The NL1 GF we took over 10,000 i think that tells it's own story.

And back in the day, Huddersfield took thousands and thousands too and made a ton of noise! (I know from my Dad's and Granddad's reports!) I'm talking about today. How does anyone know how their fans will react today, until they actually get there?

Oh dear a very sorry experience this is turning out to be - gees if other teams fans are cheering on more than our own what does that say.......thanks to all CAS, SAINTS AND WAKEY fans for trying to wake the dead amongst the Fartown fans!!

I was sat in Block 549 and I will never sit there again if I go again. I was sat in front of some Halifax fans and whilst getting quite vocal on a few occassions they were getting stuck into me for doing so - gees PASSION ANYONE.
