Not really sure of your ground sharing arrangements and logistics but who holds sway with power between the football and rugby teams?

Obviously at Wigan the football team are the main priority and I just wondered with some potential home play off games on the horizon for you could you ever find yourselves in the position of being kicked out for the day??

No, much to the chagrin of the footy fans (or at least a vocal minority) the AFC dont hold the keys to the stadium, Ken Davey does.

KD owns 60% and Kirklees 40%. Town own 0%

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.


If Town stick at £5 throughout the season then that's fantastic and I would be right behind them...something tells me they won't.

They have done nothing wrong IMO, I'm with LF13 on this.






If London is Athens, Yorkshire is Sparta, a tougher community and proud of it.

Me too.

Mind you, can't say I'd follow them at all at any price and if they were at Wembley and we had a game at home I'd be at the Pharm if they charged 5.00, 16.50 or 18.50.

Infact if the misses said I need to cut the lawn that's where I'd be with joy, PS I still reckon that Town Terrier has flees!

I'd go watch Town at Wembley. I had a ST for HTFC in the past. I don't find the games as enthralling as the rugby but I do follow them. I'd support any team representing the Town. Tiddlywinks, yodelling, bog snorkelling, the lot.

If you remember many of our town folk went to Wembley to support Emley in the 80's, thinking it'd be a fair few years till they went again with another Huddersfield team. This time around though many think Town'll be there soon enough. Though saying that I met a fair few Town fans nearly all Davy haters down at Wembley just as suprised to see me there as I was to see them. I asked why they had come down and the overall saying was we wanted to see the new wembley, not actually support the Giants.
I was suprised to see the attendance at the Town match though it didn't look like such a large crowd apparently, and the attendance wasn't expected to be so high as a third of consessions were closed!

I think that sums it all up, the only positive will be the financial reward for the club...but I can't stand day trippers. Even the fans who went along but supported other teams are better in my eyes, at least they actually LOVE rugby league.
