Quote: meast "merely a whine
what was more disappointing was the crap excuses for supporters leaving with 5 minutes left of a very very good season for us

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.

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.

Quote: meast "well the football team regularly pull in over 10,000 crowds despite been in the 3rd tier so you tell us?

sadly it seems people will only watch us if we are doing extremely well, i think the mentality within the town is still seen as your wasting your time supporting the rugby team, yet despite how poor the football team are they still seem to pull the crowds in.very frustrating for ken davy and for us long standing supporters'"


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.
