I know a few people who couldn't go due to working evenings, but would have gone on Sunday or Saturday.

Thought it was a decent turnout, last weekend in the sun, BBC camera's, Sunday afternoon and 2300 Cas fans and we had less in the home end than last night.

Thought it was a decent turnout.

You can add another 1000 onto that number.

Not according to this quote from Wishy and he should know.

The stand holds 4054!! 30 spots are for disabled in wheelchairs which also in the total!! The two front rows netted off thats another 400 seat knocked off the back 4 rows also netted so another 400.So the actual official capacity for that stand is a little over 3200!! Blocks 1 and 6 nowhere near half full each so another 500 and loads of seats empty dotted about elsewhere!! I really wish these fans would not just look from the back of that stand as the front is never full!!

Official total 2281 as of 10 mins before ko!! So where did the other 1k come from?? and where did they sit?? Still a good turn out though!!

The usual Huddersfield post match courtesy I'm not preaching to anyone, I thought I was just discussing the attendance, I know people who couldn't be there lastnight due to work. I don't think the weather would have affected the number of Rovers fans who travelled over. It just seems a shame that you've got such a nice stadium yet it is only a fraction full. There's no doubt your board are doing their best to get bums on seats by doing cut price deals, but at the end of the day maybe that has an adverse affect with people thinking ah well it's raining, if I don't go I've not lost much.

No, you're preaching. Don't do it.

I did not attend as i was delayed at work .

because i did not go, neither did the three kids although i would have only taken one of them.

The problem is that we have a very high percantage of our tickets which go to families. ( i would be interested to know the percentage compared to other clubs)

BUT


we are a SUNDAY afternoon team. Games on Fridays are not for us and that shows with the crowds. Even a saturday 6 pm kick off is better but Friday night is f@@king uselesss for us. It is fine for 20 year old blokes who link it in with a Friday night p1ss up but not for women, kids, elderly etc.

I make no apologies for the crowd but SKY are helping to damage the game from attendances point of view with late changes and bad KO times

A sunday afternoon team lol! Yeah i see what you mean you were out in force for the quarter final against us wern't you?

I am buddy we lost a good tight game and at the end of the day just were not good enough to beat you.

Just pulling somebody up on a comment that you guys were a sunday afternoon team when clearly that wasnt the case last week.

Which shows you also know nothing at all about us.

but how many fans turn up doesn't affect how the team plays

Who said it did or didnt. I posted on here because somebody said that you were a sunday afternoon team suggesting that the reason your attendance was so poor last night was because it was played on friday night.

With this i responded by making refferance in a slightly sarcastic way to your poor crowd against us last week which was played on a sunday afternoon.

I was then told that the only reason I had posted this was because my team lost last sunday and i should get over it. So I explained that I was over it.

Hope this helps .
