Do Huddersfield deserve a Rugby League team ?? : Sat May 07, 2016 5:29 am
I stood looking around the ground last night and was disappointed by what I saw. Far more Leeds fans than the week before far less Huddersfield fans than the week before. 2,500 people less on the night to a non televised match and the difference was the number of fans from Huddersfield.
After two consecutive home wins against arguably the best team in the league and last years treble winners and a controversial defeat at Wigan it was the night we had our last realistic chance of silverware and a derby with our local neighbours.
Yes our squad is light, we need a couple of new signings, our coach makes some strange decisions at times and we have had injuries, retirement and Ferresgate but last night was a big match in so many ways.
£15 for season ticket holders and boy in the area where I sit there were a lot missing. Yes there's an argument that challenge cup attendances are dwindling.
However last nights effort by the people of Huddersfield was the polar opposite to that of the team it was appalling and for those that didn't turn up you missed one of the best tries I have seen in my many years of following the club made by Leroy, Gerry and the blinding pace of our new 'star' full back Ryan Brierley.
The club has deserved some of the 'criticism' it has copped this year but last nights turn out of Huddersfield 'fans' was nothing short of appalling on a night when the team deserved as much support as it could get but I'll bet my bottom dollar should we get to Wembley the missing 2,500 will be there along with many more shame on you !!!!
