It's a sports entertainment business.

this season hasn't been entertaining.

So why bother turning up for a rearranged match which meant nothing. Especially at £29 for a seat.

I will be going to the middle 8's because it's a bit different. But many won't bother because they can get better entertainment elsewhere and good luck to them.

Play better get more support. Simples.

For once Jool's we agree but its easier to just sling mud for some we have a good core away support when we all get there but every year the first two weeks of the school holidays yield reduced attendances.

Let's see where our first qualifier is then let people carp if it's a bad following I suspect it won't be, Batley away would do nicely.

Did I read somewhere our first game is away, something to do with Town, or did I dream that.

Wired To Fail sounds like the ideal band for the Giant at the moment.
Are they free most Sunday afternoons?

I think you underestimate the quality of a few teams in the championship.
They are good enough to challenge us for sure.

In their favourthey have nothing to lose and less pressure.

They have been winning the majority of the season whereas we have been losing.

Leigh, arguably the strongest team in the championship are another year wiser whereas this is new territory for us.

We will be massively targeted and need to give every side 100% respect.
Anything less or a wrong mentality and we will lose.

I have a bad feeling the new system of the 8's will be proved a success the second year in and a new team will be in SL next year. I desperately hope it isn't us.

i agree but just saying what others will say ....

as for the stay away fans im not on about the saturday game at warrington..

anyone who is a giants fan at heart,.. we need you now to back the lads!

(a)beat the champ sides and its because they are part timers and rubbish

Cant agree !Though preferring (a)- if its (a) or (b) against any of our opponents -- I`ll take it gladly at this stage after how we`ve performed even if I lose some hair en route!
I DO care about the club -and I couldnt really give a fig - either `ll do me thanks!

I'm pretty sure we will be away due to the fact we have 4 away games and there's a few rumours that Salford will play Leigh first weekend so that leaves us away to either KR or Batley?

I was there on Saturday but you cannot knock the fans who weren't. I can only realistically make Saturday and Sunday games and home Friday night games as I work away. Therefore I have missed three home games despite having a season ticket and only made away games at Wakey, Widnes and Warrington. It becomes harder for me every year to follow my team but I hope to get to most games in the play off's.

Not knocking anyone, i know most posters on here are the regulars and go when they can, i have no problem with anyone not attending, i was just saying that it appears most fans have decided enough is enough, their choice.

Actually meast, I wouldn't be surprised to see our crowds rise in these playoff's, at home anyway. Lot's of fans are fed up as you suggest, but offsetting that is the fact that we are fighting for survival, and in that sense these games are more important than any we have played this season.

I have the feeling the fans will want to give them as much help as they can, even though many think they don't deserve it. They know what relegation will mean as well as the players, The thing is that if they do turn up in decent numbers and get let down by poor shows, then it doesn't bear thinking about.

The club is so badly run off the field that I have a notion to only go to the away matches and sack off the home ones altogether.

I've not been to LSV yet, so that would be one off the list. And it's been too long since I've been up to Mount Pleasant, one of my favourite grounds.
