Desperately need to pick up some points from home games. Crowd against Giants was just over 4,000.
Giants don't take many so home support has dipped below the 4,000. Was always going to drop from the heady start, but unless they pick up some home wins the numbers will keep going down.
I hope they can find some form and have a good second half of the season.

If that's tue, then crusaders have a real worry........they must keep their foot on the marketing pedal......ease off and you'll end up worse than us in London.

A thousand is a bit of an exaggeration - at most 750 and probably nearer 500, certainly not as many as Hull. However the point about gates is well made, although the lack of home games so far (commented on in the programme) means that the locals haven't got into the habit of going on a regular basis. I suspect that the club's going to struggle to get much above 3000 for the televised Cup tie against the Catalans.

Disappointing crowd but they've got Saints, Wigan, Warrington still to come so we'll see how it goes.

I would go with the same they play at home and then away for x amounts of week.

Then of course they have a couple of games down south.

Just under a 1000 was what the man in the red ticket booth said. That wasn't counting those that bought from the club.

The average crowd is currently 6,842! That's higher than Castleford, higher than Wakefield and higher than Salford. With Wigan, Warrington and St Helens (their three nearest clubs) still to visit Wrexham thats very encouraging in my view.

would've said 500 at most, what is a little more concerning is that we had about 2k less than Catalans. Mind you Hudds was our lowest crowd last year with just under 2k so we've doubled it at least.
