Quote GIANT DAZ="GIANT DAZ"As were the fans at the time too but the point i was making was even now we still get people having a go at our club saying stuff like we only get fans cos we give season tickets away for next to nothing and ridiculed for attempting to get more fans to our matches - Bradford, a club who only a few short years ago were attracting 15,000 fans, do it too because their 'glory hunters' have buggered off and get applauded and praised to high heaven for doing something positive to bring their crowds up.
my point was how come Bradford doing it is a positive thing on thw whole and good for the game etc but when Huddersfield did it it was a joke and an embarrasment to our sport ?
Btw before anyone feels the need to attack me i will applaud any club at any level that attracts fans to our game. This isn't a complain at the Bulls, just wanting to understand why people didn't have this much positivity when the Giants did it !!'"
Daz, can you remember back a few years? To when Bulls had a policy of spreading the word by issuing cut-price and even FREE (indeed...) matchday tickets? And the fans of the likes of Halifax and Hudds and Leeds played merry hell and called us all sorts of things? And accused us of PRECISELY what you are now saying YOU should have had more recognition for?
I recall, at the time, both applauding the initiative - and Davy's generosity - and observing that now YOU were doing it no doubt it would be fine, whereas when WE did it we were the Antichrists personified - not least from a section of Huddersfield fans. There was a great deal of hypocrisy and double-standards on display around that time.
