what £20 to sit in an open temporary stand with very little facilities with a less than great view of the pitch ?no

we charge £18.50 or £16.50 if you pre-book for a covered seat in a modern stadium with excellent facilities and a good view of the pitch.

i wasnt just referring to the away fans i meant the prices full stop considering what your getting for your money at craven park - would you be happy to pay £17 to stand behind the goal in that .....gutter ?

I don't think anyone would dispute that the facilities at Craven Park are not all they could be (although Wakefield's supporters didn't use that as an excuse in atrocious weather conditions).
Last season at the Galpharm I was discussing the shortcomings of CP with one of our disabled fans. He had time for a chat as being stuck in his wheelchair at the back of the stand, he wasn't seeing much rugby. We were both impressed with the viewing facilities made available to Huddersfield's own disabled supporters.
Good work.

True - bit like your club up to 2 years ago then

That's funny - 3 years ago many Widnes fans were left disappointed at being unable to get NL1 Grand Final tickets because we'd sold 7000 (approx half the Halliwell Jones Stadium) ourselves before they went on sale to Vikings fans.

Actually, I'm pretty sure that we had more there for that game then another club had for a Challenge Cup Final at Twickenham that very same year.

You never provided a link bro!

Re your 2nd point, I beg to differ:

Quins
Cats
Celtic
Toulouse

Just to name a few.

It was Huddersfield's first appearance in the final of rugby league's most prestigious knockout competition for 44 years and attracted a crowd of 65,187.

Unfortunately, it was to end in bitter disappointment for the 12,000 Giants fans who made the trip to the capital, with red-hot favourites Saints securing a 42-12 triumph

Okay I was wrong, in that it was reported that Hudds had 12,000 there. However ( ), I'm also certain that I read 6000 in RLE (a more objective paper ), around the same time, so might have to conduct a little research if I have some spare time at some point.
