What an absolute joke Huddersfield fans are (not aimed at the die hards), all we here is how they are improving attendances and working so hard off the field and yet their supporters won't even turn up for a last 16 challenge cup match. What's the matter, wasn't it included in Ken Davy's giveaway?

It happens to most teams. Wigan got 4,423 and 3,814 for ties against Pia and Whitehaven respectively last season at JJB.

11.30 am kick off on a sunday against a 3rd tier team with half our reserve side out !!
i'm sure every other club's fans would turn out in their thousands given that scenario

All the more reason to support the game, a chance to aid the lower leagues.

i agree ,but the people paying their money may not see it like that. we were expected to win quite big (well done Rochdale in keeping it respectable) so i can understand why people decided to give this a miss. in all fairness i wasnt expecting more than 2500 if i'm honest.
dont think the half 11 kick off would have helped either with a lot of people unable to attend due to their kids playing etc.

why did it kick off so early?

Disgraceful

Kick em out

I believe it was done so supporters could watch our game then head home to listen to Ray French orgasm over Saints.

think it was so it didnt clash with the televised game.
ie people could watch the giants game then go and watch the TV game or have the rest of sunday to do other things ??

i dont think there would have been many more if it was 3 o clock either

Cas got 5'500. And we were playing a Championship side. I'd have thought the Wigan and Wakey game would have attracted more.

with a decent following !!.
what would cas have got without the fax fans?
not sure how many Rochdale fans were there today but i doubt it was anything to write home about.
