1300 tickets already bought by Rovers fans for the headingly game Fri night. Should be another bumper crowd.

What’s the capacity of the western terrace these days?

About 3.5k I think.

Shame it’s a Friday night game as you’d expect over 2k robins following on a Saturday or Sunday.

Yeh we’ll take 1500 or so. Wish other clubs would bring that many to craven park! We have an away allocation of 800 and it’s rarely more than half filled.

Should see a crowd of 15.5k-16k easily.

Disappointing but to be expected poor away following from Huddersfield .

a few years back when both the rhinos and giants were genuine top4 sides this clash would have easily seen 17k-18k.

Huddy seem to be dying a death. Thier owner Ken Davy is a billionaire and does all he can (I think £100 season tickets!) ....but being in there stadium isn't fun....23000 capacity with 4000 in...depressing

Think he's moving them to the more appropriately sized Halifax stadium ...then talk if him building a 10,000 seater in Huddersfield next year

NRL Europe will scupper this I guess...they'll be a goner

Yeah, even when the giants were regularly finishing in the top 4 and took out the LLS a decade ago I don’t think they got many 10k+ crowds at the John smith’s stadium.

sad really especially when you factor in its the birthplace of the sport.

To be honest anyone who loves league in Huddy still has lots of options if Giants go......most will become Rhinos fans!

Long way to Hull. Not much to see when you get there.

And find yourself in an episode of Triangle.

I know you are joking but Hull actually has loads to do! My kids always love the massive bridge and loads of museums etc..great little historical places nearby called Beverley that is an amazing break away too (1100 year old Cathedral)

What's your thoughts on the Aussies playing in superleague these days ?

What's your thoughts on the Aussies playing in superleague these days ?

Some really add to the league like Luke Yates, Cooper Jenkins, Palesia and French.....some are just Thier for a final pay check.....Paul Vaughan for example

Think it has always been this way

Very happy with our ex NRL players at HKR.
Sue, Martin. May, Hiku, Whitbred JWH and Tanganoa are all playing very well. We've had some plodders in our time from NRL but this would have to be one of the best batches we've had.
