| now is the time to come back and give the players and club your backing!
massive 7 games ahead of us
if we go down we may not even have a club anymore... we need a sea of claret & gold at all the games especially away and lift the players

I'm sure the fans will turn up that can but come on some people can't get to matches on Saturday afternoons or evening kick offs in Manchester, Lancashire and Cheshire as they have to work.
In truth we have been treading water for the last few weeks waiting for the middle 8's to come around.
Take a £22 ticket as the average price, £20 fuel and even with a meal deal its £50 a pop per person per away match.
But I would expect the backing wherever the first away match is because as you point out the stakes are high but it ain't all about being disgruntled.

I plan to be at the first away match, and to be honest , how they play will determine whether I go to any more. I think that will be what a lot of people do.
I don't really expect to end up in the MPG although I don't rule it out, If we do , then I wouldn't put a lot of money on us winning it, One thing in our favor in the 8s I think is that most of the other teams are targeting us for a win, I think the first game will be massive , It's absolutely vital we get off to a flyer, If we win the first, we are then on a 50/50 basis home and away with 2 points in the bag, that could be a huge boost.

Second week of the school holidays traditional Huddersfield holiday week and we get a dead rubber match at 2pm on a Saturday afternoon against a team we traditionally have an off day against at their place.
I got totally pilloried for moaning about home cup attendances and missing season ticket holders judge who comes and who doesn't at the next seven matches but as I was told everyone had a right to choose.

That's a bit unfair! I couldn't go Saturday due to a party, but usually go to all the games I can. I will go to all 7 games if possible but am on holiday 13th August to the 20th, so am praying for games on the 12th and 21st.
PS I am a club sponsor and put a lot of money into the Giants every year so don't tell me I've given up, or ever will do.

| only option of holiday I had was 1st or last week of school holidays so missed Saturday's game. Had hoped game may have been moved to Friday night. Not missed many this year despite having to take holiday for some Thursday & away Friday games. Will be there for rest of games.

scrape past them and we are a laughing stock for not putting 50 past them

I don't know why you felt you had to explain your absence on Saturday, we all make our own choices for our own reasons and find this high and mighty attitude from those who think they can pass judgement on others without knowing everybody's thoughts or situation to be offensive.
Surprised there isn't a register taken to keep a check....detention for those who miss games and no excuses

Think most people would settle for scraping into 3rd position any way they can. As for laughing, something to even smile about this season would be a rarity.

It's so easy to laugh! It's so easy to hate!
It takes strength to be gentle and kind!!: |
|
| Yep! I'll admit to being a bit disgruntled and made a conscious decision on Saturday not to go to Warrington. It was a hard decision as I'm usually there home and away when work and family commitments allow and hate to miss out.
Some regular fans may well be a bit fed up, possibly a bit short of cash or have family or holiday commitments - I made an easy choice to spend the day with my son on his birthday and to watch him headline a music festival in Halifax. Check out the up and coming indie band; 'Wired To Fail' - bookings taken for parties, weddings, wakes etc.

Forget the Cowbell Army.
Wired To Fail sounds like the ideal band for the Giant at the moment.
Are they free most Sunday afternoons?
