When I first started reading this article.. it seemed like a fairly accurate write-up, giving credit where credit is due.
However, this Colin Young fella just couldn’t resist including the usual bullsh*t regarding our away following.
“…it might have made life interesting for the visitors and a travelling contingent who would be lucky to fill one row at Wembley”
They just can’t resist.
And not to forget the “…Callum Woods’ cross lifted the 12,000-plus home fans” line.
The “Match Facts” section of the article states that the official attendance was 12,117..
This means that we must only have taken a MAXIMUM of 117 fans.
Incredible.
Journalists taking the piss with factually incorrect information?
Football experts and my colleagues tipping us for relegation ?
Looks like its business as usual for us starting with 3 points v Reading B)

Those football experts and colleagues of your Salford sound like a right bunch of Kevin Websters.
The first bit is probably right lolBut he’s included that line for one reason – to make out like our following was p*ss poor.
Is 2600/2700 away fans at Huddersfield really a poor following, considering it was also televised?
Was it really necessary to include that comment?
If we’d took a couple hundred, then fair enough – but even then, what does it matter?The first bit is probably right lolP.S. I’d love to know how much 1 row at Wembley actually holds..
Nothing wrong with that away following.
TV commentator praised the away support and said “2000+ of them and they’ve made a decent din”.
Looked a good following when the camera panned right down the pitch. 2 and half-3000 I reckon.

Also, there was an amazing topic on Huddersfield’s forum after the game, hailing us as the “worst set of fans [he had] ever seen”.
He went on to write that we DIDN’T make ANY noise until after we scored our 3rd goal? (Pretty sure when I watched it back, I could hear us singing before the first whistle, all the way through to the end – and loud too).
We then apparently went silent again when they scored, but did make a “little bit” of noise when our 4th went in.
Hilarious how bitter & deluded certain folk become after a good ol’ tonking!
From a friend of mine whose family are big noises at Huddersfield, there were 1750 visiting supporters.
The journo is a RL Journo……………….now i know i bang on about the whole RL bitterness toward us, but……..yet more instances of this nature , back my claim up even more.
Maybe he’s bitter about the fact over 4k more turned up to watch our 2nd string (when on itv1) in a cup game , than what turned up to watch a top flight rl game between 2 unbeaten sides (at the time) at the “birthplace of rugby league”……………He didn’t mention the rl crowd did he,just a thought like :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:
good day folks x
From a friend of mine whose family are big noises at Huddersfield, there were 1750 visiting supporters.I’m gonna stick my neck out and say they’re wrong..
I’m not having that there was less than 2000 there.
I reckon it was somewhere around the 2300-2500 mark.each block in that away end holds 900…….2 where full the 3rd half full and then a scattering on the end, where i was sat…………this 1700 ish figure is being banded about on rl chubby.communist………

I don’t think the noise travels very well tbh. I commented on the Saturday that there was more atmosphere in space but some Hudds fans said they were real loud.

I don’t agree with the figure but it must be right.
