| Huddersfield.
no other club has spent decades out of the top flight like we did, playing in front of a few hundred die hards in a crumbling ground, not knowing if it would be the last time you'd ever watch them! Wondering if the club would go bust every morning,losing out 3 generations of supporters.
then finally we made it back, slowly but surely, then we were out of our depth for 4 years, getting walloped every week,finishing bottom every year, but not being demoted due to the ground grading regulations. again, losing a generation of fans.
the merger!
to put it simple, we could only dream about playing the top flight clubs, let alone competing and beating them.
how many other fans can say that playing against and losing games to the likes of Bramley, Chorley, Springfield/Trafford, Runcorn, Highfield et al became the norm.
so yes, Huddersfield  |

| Wakefield won the Yorkshire cup when we were a 3rd division side happy to just scrape through a preliminary game against Nottingham City!
Wakefield were a well regarded top flight club for the first 10 years i watched Huddersfield, all those years we were in the 2nd or 3rd division.
the biggest game i attended in the first 5 years of watching Huddersfield was a yorkshire cup tie against........Wakefield trinity, so big that the crowd was qaudruple what we usually attracted.
we also got smashed 9-52, but yeah Wakey have had it worse  |

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

If you want a bad time take a trip to our friends across the river. First cup final for 30 years and they get slaughtered 50-0, up and down relegation wise, not exactly the best ground (although it is getting better, I will give them that).'"
OBSESSED 
Please explain how we are 'up and down relegation wise' as that is quite simply the ramblings of a lunatic. |

Well my post was referring to a 30 year period (as the original poster asked for) since both of our teams were decent in the mid-80s as I said and in that time you lot were relegated in 89 was it? I think promoted the year after and went back down a couple years after that and then back up in 2006 so yeah up and down. We were as well but I didn't say we weren't so yeah I might be a lunatic but I don't just say stuff without any basis whatsoever.

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! |

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