I wonder if anyone who flicked over by accident enjoyed a good comeback in the second half and an close finish, or sat counting the crowd?

Exactly! The Crusaders fans made loads of noise and the action was firmly focused on the pitch.

the crowd is already forgotten the result will be all anyone remembers.

ill have to remember these replies when somebody starts spouting about giants crowds then

So given how long Huddersfield have had to grow the game compared to Crusaders you only got 1800 more for a game only available on subscription TV rather than free to air, well done numpty

I was there, hugely enjoyable afternoon and a really good atmosphere that I hope came across well on the telly. Whoever decided that there were 1,800 there must have left their glasses at home as the stand under the gantry was very well populated (central two blocks didn't have an empty seat between them, and plenty more besides) while it was reasonably busy where we were sat opposite the cameras; would have said at least 2,500 there if not more.



Was great to speak to some locals who were hugely enthusiastic about our game and my mate and I enjoyed the trip so much that we're planning on going to their next game as well - the club shop and ticketing set up etc is pretty impressive, the ground itself is far better than I imagined and all in all it was a pleasant experience that I will certainly be looking to repeat, well done (Cru Cru) Crusaders.

Erm, no.



They got 4,800 more and their game was also on the BBC and free to air.

on the first point the comparison is home fans

on the second point

Honestly right, who cares? Who is actually interested in this other than you and some other weirdos who seem desperate to put the game down at every opportunity?

A crowd of 1,800 is appalling.



We also must bear in mind that the Crusaders have won a few games this season and haven't been doing so bad. So how low would the crowds go, if they were as bad as they were last season in South Wales ?



That doesn't bear thinking about !

I agree, the fact that they get this sort of attendance every week and no other Super League clubs have seen drastic drops in crowd figures for this round of the Challenge Cup clearly shows there's something seriously wrong there.

wow some of the people on here are so jealous.



crusaders are in SL and it looks like theyll be there for a long time yet
