      Hudds vs Wigan – Match Report

      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.

            But 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?

              P.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.

                  Easily!

                  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

                      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.

                        You can stick your neck wherever you want, but that’s the right number, believe me. I have absolutely nothing to gain by making it up. ;)

                          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.
