Huddersfield Average Gates- SL Regular Rounds:
2003 - 4,750
2004 - 4,362
2005 - 5,373
2006 - 6,407
2007 - 7,083
2008 - 7,827
2009 - 7,908
2010 - 7,386
2011 - 7,091
2012 - 7,709
There was some momentum but it appeared to stall around 2008. So far in 2013 - early days but it's fallen to 6,971 after facing London, Wigan and Bradford and two of those should represent above average attendances at the John Smiths.
Quote farawayfartown="farawayfartown"but thankfully we have a coach who will instil some bottle in the team and =#FF0000players play in the correct positions. Would be nice to challenge the so called big 4 at the business end of the season not just hammer them in Feb/march.'"
Radical approach. I wish Leeds had a forward thinking coach prepared to think outside the box. I bet Anderson expects his bench to come on and contribute to the team effort as well. Personally I think it's the future direction of coaching.

| Quote farawayfartown="farawayfartown"No foreign nationals in any other places then, just Leeds. And let's not kid ourselves, the disaster that is LUFC are just as pathetic gate wise seeing as both your tinpot clubs gain support from all over Yorkshire. Warrington no other sports ?? Are you for real ? Look at a map, the 2nd and 3rd biggest cities in Britain are a short hop away. Wake up and smell the coffee you deluded fool. End of story'"
Birmingham and Leeds are not near Warrington, HTH.

| Quote farawayfartown="farawayfartown"To be fair it's nice to visit an old fashioned antiquated stadium like headingley, especially when you win. And please don't bleat on about gates, yours are a disgrace for the size of he city compared to Warrington, Wigan, saints and even Huddersfield. Especially with the success you have had. I think you have hit your ceiling, whether Hudds have we will see. Huddersfield have doubled there gates in 10 years, brought back 2 full generations of lost fans and all we get is mocking. Only wire have really been this successful at doing this. I'm not bothered by it to be honest it's quite funny that every time we beat one of the so called bigger teams its the same tired story but hey ho clutching at straws. I really hope our season doesn't go down the tubes again but thankfully we have a coach who will instil some bottle in the team and players play in the correct positions. Would be nice to challenge the so called big 4 at the business end of the season not just hammer them in Feb/march.'"
Nobody clutching at so and so straw's.You have beaten Leeds quite a few times in recent seasons after 50 years without a win well done.So why on earth do you feel the need to hang around for weeks and troll?even your mods are at it too,and I am now annoyed at myself for biting too.If you cant have a proper discussion about the game dont come on here

| Quote ollie35="ollie35"Can't believe how many grown men get involved in 'My dad's bigger than your dad' posts, it's totally pointless, and goes nowhere. I used to do it at 11 in the playground when it seemed slightly amusing.
As a Hudds fan it was great to beat you again in your own back yard, beating the champions in their own back yard is far more satisfying than beating say London at home, so we are going to enjoy it. But a wins a win and not a season defining moment, so I will enjoy the win and move on.
Good luck for the season and hope we meet you in something when it really matters.'"
Well said mate.Thankyou

It annoys me how many kids are here these days. There's a reason RLFans has gone down the sh*tter in the last couple of years.

Grow up and stop being an ar[is[/ie.
There are literally 5 or 6 people who actually know about the game and can hold a decent discussion on Southstander. The rest, like yourself, are childlike morons who embarrass me, posting mindless rubbish, thinking because they have a keyboard, their opinion actually means a damn.
Sadly, the club needs idiots like you through the doors to make money, which is fair enough. There should really be some type of entry level criteria before you are allowed to open your mouth though because at present, you drive the decent posters away and even though you are in the minority (although the minority seem to be the majority on here) make the rest of the Leeds fans look bad. It's like all the "know-nowts" who go to the Rhinos games have managed to work how out to create an account on RLFans. I bet you are a member of the Rhinos supporters facebook page too. That's not a cross section of society in Leeds. It's full of pondlife, "an ppl who tlk lik dis" because sadly, (a word i'm not allowed to use) breed.

| I think we should concentrate entirely on just beating Huddersfield, Castleford, Bradford and Wakefield in a season. None of this Melbourne Storm, Challenge Cup final, Grand Final nonsnense. We lost to Melbourne but I can't remember seeing a single actual Storm fan trolling this board afterwards, wheras we lose to Huddersfield and the usual suspects spend weeks hurling their feaces at us like monkeys at the zoo.
The message needs to get out to BMD, Kevin Sinfield, the Leeds team and GH that enough is enough! We don't give a f*** about 6 Championships or your "World Club Challenge", get the priorities of this club sorted out NOW! No more losses to the local shoite.

As you would kind of hope coming from such a low base with such a noncompetitive team. Also a big thank you to the depth of Ken Davy's pockets to help maintain and grow supporter numbers. I imagine there will be lots of supporters of other clubs including my own who would have appreciated such generosity at a time of financial belt-tightening.
To clarify the point of the attendance figures it was in response to this statement:
Quote brearley84="farawayfartown"I think you have hit your ceiling, whether Hudds have we will see. Huddersfield have doubled there gates in 10 years, brought back 2 full generations of lost fans and all we get is mocking.'"
I obviously shortened it too much in the original reply so I apologise for that.
While I can agree that Leeds have plateaued I see little to suggest that Huddersfield (for now) haven't also done likewise. The worry for both and the majority of SL should be which direction they turn next.
The product is becoming less exciting to watch - moves such as banning the shoulder charge and sending players off for the merest flare up will do nothing to reverse that trend, IMO - the removal of quality overseas players coupled with the loss of some of our own, the overblown play-off format leading to a downgrading in importance of the regular rounds causing fans to realise Friday (either last or next) doesn't really matter to the top teams anymore - they'll still be there when it matters and momentum counts more than finishing position so almost anywhere in the eight will do.
