You shouldnt have a go at folks for leaving early...its their choice and they have their own reasons for doing so.

My mother in law is 80 and after the week we have had with my father in law being rushed into hospital and having surgery it was a miracle we made the game at all and only went in the end because he insisted! We left early because we were shattered and were left feeling very disappointed as were many other supporters.

In addition to that I had the most foul mouthed idiot sat behind me who insisted on using the "F" word in every comment he made, sometimes more than once - not to mention several other choice words. After being asked politely to stop he got worse! All this and he was a dozen rows in front of a steward who when spoken to said he would "keep his eye on him"!!

It has been a good season I agree but there is much improvement still to come if we want to have an equally good if not better season next year.

I think our problem is that the other clubs after 3/4 of the season finally worked out how to beat us and stop us playing our game, and we didnt change our game plan, nor did we step up to the next level for the big games - Catalans did.

Still, its been a good season all in all and I will be there again next year.

For me we seemed to stop playing as expansively in our last few games. We definitely missed Kev Brown and we seemed very unsure of ourselves. We were also bullied IMO and did not really stand up to that.

is KP still on your coachig staff

If you mean Keiron Purtill he is now back at Saints.

cheers, why did he leave?

IIRC it was a difference of opinion on how the team should be conditioned.

Again IIRC he wanted lithe, faster players, everyone else wanted stronger, tougher players.

You're thinking of Geoff Evans there C13.

Ok, ta.

The football team get a lot of support from the 'Heavy Woolen' area consisting of Batley, Dewsbury, Mirfield, Liversedge, Cleckheaton, Heckmodwike, Robertown, Birstall, Earlsheaton etc. A lot of these people wouldn't dream of supporting the Giants because they are :-
1. Batley or Dewsbury fans.
2. Hate the Giants because Ken took their stadium off them.
3. Hate the Giants because they were given sqillions to keep them in Super League and even then when they finished bottom 4 years on the trot weren't relegated.
4. Would rather support Bradford / Wakey / Leeds or any combination of these 4.

I'm not giving an opinion as the whether this is right, wrong or indifferent.
It's just an observation based on conversations with Town fans from this area.

My view is that Kirklees (Hudds + Heavy Woolen area) is definately a Huddersfield Town football area rather than a Giants rugby area. When it comes to Huddersfield itself the spread will not be as bad from a Giants point of view but will still be in the football clubs favour.
