| Quote: meast "bit long winded but bear with it.
as others have said fans of other teams don't see it from a fartown fans point of view.winning the league might not mean anything to fans of other clubs as their clubs have always been regarded as big clubs fighting for the trophies,these fans EXPECT to reach and win major finals, we don't! we hope, not so long ago we could only dream of being where leeds,wigan,bradford,saints, even warrington and hull,as raaaay says success for us was drawing one of these clubs in a cup competition. 81 years have gone by without us winning the league, 60 years without a major trophy, of course it matters to us!
fans of successful clubs should remember where Huddersfield have come from, the very bottom! we used to watch cup finals,grand finals, premiership finals and could only imagine ever being there.we used to watch the big clubs on scrumdown. sky big league etc and could only ever dream of playing teams like leeds,wigan saints never mind beating them convincingly at their own grounds!
bear in mind that if or hopefully when we win the LLS we will become the only team to have played in the 2nd and 3rd divisions to top super league, the only team to finish bottom and top of super league,the first non traditional top flight team to top super league
so of course it matters of course its important to a club like ours, its like swinton winning the LLS in 15 years time, sounds unbelievable doesn't it?? would we tell swinton fans it means nothing unless they win the grand final?
our club has risen from the very bottom to the very top in less than 25 years, would leeds or wigan fans think it means nothing if that was their club? we were whipping boys of the league 10 years ago, would wigan and leeds fans think it means nothing if that was their club?
heck,even 4 or 5 years ago we were still happy to see our club compete with the best teams and stay in super league, things have changed and have changed quickly for us, yes we would all like to go on and win the grand final, but winning the LLS is as good as that for us right now.
let us enjoy our very rare moment of glory should we win it, yes others might dismiss it as unimportant in the grand scheme of things when all they have known is their club competing in finals all their lives, but winning ANYTHING is a massive achievement for our club and something none of us have the experience of!
I still cant quite believe what is happening to us,and I intend to enjoy it despite how important glory laden fans of other teams see it.
Perfect.

| I think he meant re-write our clubs own history, as in never having won anything in the SL era, not finishing top of the league for 80 + years etc....

The Communist Cap - dragging down success and aspiration to the levels of those who cba.: |

| Quote: pies-r-us "I don’t think that’s the kind of history rewriting the post meant. That’s just plain lying! Huddersfield has confounded the pundits by not blowing out (well not yet, there’s still the play-offs) in the closing stages of the season, like hopefully we won’t do as well, and they have held it all together. I for one would like the league winners to be called the Champions, and have a guaranteed place in the GF which would put more meaning into the weekly rounds again, but I think I’m just whistling in the dark. Well done Hudds, and good luck for the future.
Agreed.
We might see a very different league table then too.
Then again they would need to ensure the team finishing top was not penalised by sitting around waiting for the other clubs to get to the GF. Maybe compress the playoffs into 2 weeks?
Oh hang on.......Sky.......... ![Smile icon_smile.gif](images/smilies//icon_smile.gif)

| Under the proposed 2x12 then 3x8 system, the top 8 from SL1 would carry forward their points into their play-off competition.

67329_1392756525.jpg Well you may throw your rock and hide your hand
Workin' in the dark against your fellow man
But as sure as God made black and white

| 1. If we win, we have won our first major trophy in donkeys years.
2. I've seen us win the NFP GF etc..., but nothing in the top flight, if we win I will remember it forever.
3. We've been written off all season, so if we win answering the critics will make all the more sweet.
Come on Saints, but lets not expect them to help us out, be prepared for the game of our lives against Wakey. Leave no stone unturned in readiness of the biggest game in our clubs modern history.
