My fear is that when Ken steps aside then what - I really fear for our future as a Superleague club and no one can say we havent had a fair crack of the whip. ATEOTD if the people wont watch the team what can you do?.


I've often wondered the same thing, it sends shivers down my spine really because he is without doubt one of the best chairmen around....he isn't even from Hudds himself, so what chance of a wealthy local fan taking over from him?

I think that says more about the mentality of Town fans rather than yourself Mr Goodie.

Although I can understand the disappointment of some of you with others amongst your support for not being as vocal as you would have liked, I personnally would like to commend every one of you that made it to the game.
Lets be honest, wether you made a weekend of it or went for the day you would have made a substantial financial commitment so watch your team, that alone shows passion for your club!
Every Huddersfield fan we spoke to before and after the game were fantastic and we had great banter all weekend, especially with the Hudds fans on our our campsite (Ponner and his family) who didn't even mind us 'borrowing' their big Huddersfield flag from their tent at 3 in the morning!
I personnally think that maybe your fans were possibly a little subdued by the walk onto Wembley way and the shear volume of Primrose and Blue support. Giants fans we chatted to on the walk in were gob-smacked by the numbers of Wire support and seemed a bit shell shocked by it.
Also the events of the game early on certainly wouldn't have helped and coupled with loss of Brown it was understandable really. Like has been said earlier on this thread, our support went a bit flat before half time when when the Giants started to fight back!
Huddersfield are a team on the up and your support will start to grow if you maintain the on-field performances! Best of luck in the play-offs!

well said bacon i for one totally agree with you, must admit when we came up to wembley couldnt believe the amouint of wire fans, that not to say the numbers who followed the giants were poor for me it was an excellent turn out from the giants, maybe not vocal enough but still there hoping for a victory which wasnt to be fair play to wire and their support lets hope we become part of a new big 3 with hkr

How many of those would have gone to Wembley if the £5 offer wasn't on? Very few, if any, probably?

How many who don't go to Town games (or only attend a few select games) would not have gone to this game if the £5 offer wasn't on? A couple of thousand possibly?

Are HTFC not allowed to market the game to attract extra revenue, considering they may have lost some who attend both Giants & Town games plus Yeovil fans who would not make the journey at that time?

The Giants would not have lost any considerable support at Wembley due to this offer.

Mark, still keep laughing about your booby trapped flag!
Trying to undo safety pins is nearly impossible when:

a) It's pitch black
b) You have consumed copious amounts of beer
c) You are trying to stifle giggling fits!

My thumb still resembles a pin cushion!! :lol:

Hopefully see you next year at the Theobalds if Wires and Giants get there!

In this dog eat dog world I suppose so LF!!

But when as a keen Giants supporter I get an e-mail telling me about the
£5-00 offer and inviting me to "come down" -and the only way they could have got my e-mail is via the Giants database as Ive never contacted the "Town " regime in my life --it strikes me as a stab in the back for K.D
On Wembley day ?? One of the biggest days in the town of Huddersfield`s and a Giants supporters calendar??
Some cooperation between the two clubs !!
The bloody nerve of it !! :evil:
