The left edge wasn't too shabby on Sunday neither,obviously not as naturally gifted as the right side,but efficient,which is what we really need from them.

Our centres were our best players I thought. Both Connor and cudjoe looked dangerous.

Cudjoe & McGillvary have got to be two of the greatest players ever to be produced from Huddersfield rugby league.

I wouldn't if I were you. Much as I wanted you to lose for the simple reason that I want the bottom four sorted as quick as possible I thought you played some fantastic expansive RL. Saints are not what they used to be but still take some beating. Some of your outside play was brilliant to watch, sure it was clearly your day and everything came off but great all the same. It was particularily ironic against Saints for whom that kind of thing used to be the norm.

SL really has evened up a lot.

Aye. I think it's safe to say we out entertained the entertainers.

Re: magic weekend : Wed May 25, 2016 5:35 pm  

you was correct in your column ivor about the giants fans being spread out all over the ground, we dont like to sit together do we or maybe its just the age demographic of our fanbase.

also that the club/hgsa didnt help get a section together, one time they did at etihad the other year and it worked, should have learned the lesson

Re: magic weekend : Thu May 26, 2016 2:22 pm  

One reason we don`t all sit together is that we go for different price options. Personally I prefer to sit side-on rather than behind the sticks.
Also we got in before the start of the games on Sunday, and if other Giants supporters come in at different times, other clubs supporters fill up the vacant spaces.
We were side on upper tier unreserved and we could have got 2000 Giants fans around us to start with, but it filled up round about the begining of our game with various supporters from various clubs, and even 3 unattached Geordies.
I think the answer is to mail shot all Giants supporters as soon as portions of the ground are apportioned to clubs. But some might want to go for reserved seats, but my advice would be to go for unreserved, because if you go early enough just before the start of the games, there is loads of space, you can always go out and come back in again and if the bulk of the space is taken up with our fans, others would probably not bother sitting there, and you could come back in to your seats when you want and they would most likely be vacant when you come back. If not you will still be able to sit near the bulk of the Giants fans.
Wigan, Saints, Hull, and Warrington fans seem to manage it ok.

neither is it just hudds who's fans don't sit together- it's just other teams bring more....

I was impressed by our support, we had loads walking about the town, and inside the stadium there were plenty, (although we were all over the place). The only stand I didn`t any in was the end stand where the Saints were, and they didn`t bring as many as usual (glory supporters).

Part of the problem is people seemed to think they were ltd to where they came in they had to sit.

I came in at gate 33 in the leases end and just walked straight around and sat in the middle behind the Giants cheerleaders.

As for the singers performance

Singing 10/10

Common sense 0/10

Why get together to sing and then sit as. Far away from the pitch as you can so you have no impact
