| Quote: GIANT DAZ "Last 30 years you say ?
Well 30 years ago Huddersfield played in front of their lowest ever crowd - 303, in a ramshackled falling apart not fit for purpose ground with half it's main stand cordoned off and without two ha'penny's to rub together.
In the following 10 years they we're almost closed down due to financial difficulties twice, only saved late on by people who genuinely had a love for the club, left their ground without a proper goodbye or anything.
We we're thrown in to Super League probably before we were ready, thus resulting in us finishing bottom 4 years running and not being allowed to go down and rebuild the club as we wanted to - therefore losing most of the fanbase we had managed to build up in the pretty stable mid 90's.
Cajoled into a merger no one on either side wanted, losing us more fans and even to this day having to suffer jibes about it.
We are slowly making progress on and off the field, even now we are a club to ridiculed because of our crowds (how many other clubs have had to build from 303 ?), the way we always seem to 'bottle it' etc, but let's remember, while most sets of fans have enjoyed relative stability in 30 years and some lucky sets of fans have never had to endure seeing their club outside the top division struggling for their life,and indeed in some cases not winning a trophy for a couple of years is seen as a dark period for some clubs not one club has had to come from as deep down as Huddersfield, it's been bloody hard supporting this club in the last 30 years but for some of us it will hopefully be worth the wait soon !!
So i'll say my club, Huddersfield
I appreciate where Huddersfield have come from & gone though over the said period, however surely the fundamental point of supporting any team is to witness them winning stuff?
In the last few years you’ve seen your club lift the L.L.S, participate in a C.C. final & be just eighty minutes from a G.F, as opposed to Wakefield who have managed just one C.C. semi in all that time, close but no cigar.

If you don't think that a few relegations and promotions constitute up and down then I'm not the one in cloud cuckoo land. KR were in the third division in the late 90s (was it 96/97? Might be wrong) so you weren't relegated to get into that division which is DOWN and then promoted which is UP? Duh!

Did you get rid of all the voices in your head? Do you now miss them and the things that they said?: |

I agree. So should Bradford/Leeds, Wigan/Leigh, Cas/Wakefield/Featherstone, Warrington/Widnes etc. FWIW Hull were merged......................................with Gateshead Thunder!
