Hudds worth their win today. Read our team play well , closed down Jeffries and withstood a battering from our forwards.
You may be worthy of going on to win titles this year and I wish you all the best.

That says a lot more about them as people and fans than it does about our club.

Even in defeat Aussies never lose that infamous sense of humour.

Brough's performance was the best I've seen at Odsal for a long while

Quite pleased with that considering all the injuries and suspensions (Putell's out now aswell).

Put it this way take out Robinson, Brough, Brown, Grix, Eden and the Giants would perform as well as we have without our key players.

Judging from the absolute crap spouted by both sets of fans on here, occasionally correct, mainly petty and mostly inaccurate, I'd say Hudderfield/Bradford is a proper local derby.

No, not in the slightest, and hasn't been for a very long time.

The only Giants fans who seem to take a personal and rather sniffy interest in it are the touchy souls who wander onto this forum after a win, either for some schadenfreude or to convince us not only did they win, but they are great.

But to even qualify as any sort of derby, it has to mean something to the fans, in numbers, and Huddersfield fans, to their continuing shame, simply can't even be arrsed to travel the few miles down to road.

In the last days of top flight Fax they brought next to no one to Valley parade. It looked like 20 people. Even taking into account that we were in our pomp and they were dire, this genuine derby attracted no interest from Fax fans. It doesn't mean it wasn't a real derby does it?

I think a minority of Fax fans took it all [ivery[/i personally, though. There was a kind of genuine hatred from these people, which I don't think was ever reciprocated from our end, and which I certainly don't detect from the shudders fans.

There's plenty of banter though, some of it pretty silly (heigh ho) and from both sides. I think it is a proper derby but the one thing missing is the fact that whilst both sides have had dominant periods, there has never been a time (in my memory, anyway) when both sides were at the top the game at the same time. That's when the derby atmosphere really crackles; when one side is top and the other second or when you meet in a cup semi.....bring it on!!

I do concede that the media museum withdrew the zoetrope highlights reel after they'd only brought five people over to watch it.

There's a really natty cave painting up on the moors of Hudderfield lifting the cup. Hang on, you've lured me into it.

As poor as our away support has been over the years of constant smashings by the likes of yourselves,leeds saints et, it is certainly improving, much the same as when you were good your away support was fantastic, unfortunately now you are down to the hardcore. Bit silly to mock our away following when you haven't brought a decent following to us for years now.
As for the derby thing, no chance,salfordd is our real derby game!

You're paranoid mate. I'm talking about museum visitor numbers now.

Are you talking about the Giants or Sheffield Wednesday now?

deary me
see you all at the galpharm
