Totally different situations though A-G

Salford have been in danger of going to the wall for years, little investment, pretty stagnant crowds and sat in Salford where the changing demographic just doesn't have the populace to support a sports team (I suspect of any kind). Add to that the fact the club lost revenue streams when they left the Willows that needed 4000 more fans a season to turn up to their new ground says to me it was inevitable

As for our benefactor, yes we know the situation we live on (kinda like every other club almost and definately every other soccer club) but again even if Mr Davey were to call it a day the financial situation of our region is much stronger than that of Salford.

very good point, we have done very well with the afro carribean players that have come through over the years and the current crop.. worth targetting

could of fooled me you were a fan, only ever come on here to start a topic thats putting the giants down or paul anderson.

buy a season ticket, thats the best thing you can do to help the club.

will be very interesting wont it........we shall wait and see, they have set a precendence now

No they haven't

Not even remotely have they "set a precedent"

The situation between Salford and Bradford couldn't be more different

I'm not going to pretend I know the full ins and outs of Salford's situation in situ or in comparison with Bradford's, I just feel for the fans as it must be a horrible sinking feeling to watch a club you follow end up in such a dire situation.

Now that I agree with

^ This - the lifeblood of the club,and don't take my word for it just ask Ken Davy.

Even if you always take the budgie for it's annual shampoo and set without fail every last Sunday in June of every year,and so have to miss a home fixture,still buy a season ticket.

I think when Ken calls it a day we will be in a pretty bad way yes, the question is how long have we got till then and can we make enough progress to appeal to someone else or indeed get by without a 'sugar daddy'.

I've seen this club nearly fold 2 or 3 times now so it isn't new territory should it get that bad again but not somewhere i want to go again.

As fan who has already bought ST. it seems to me that all the exhortations to follow giants and all things done to promote attendance is aimed at people who are already fans and not enough done to publicise outside existing fan base. I know advertising costs money, but as the saying goes you've got to speculate to accumalate.

As a PS to my previous post. The only indication of the Giants I can think of is the shop down in town which sells the merchandise. Other wise I can think of no other sign of the Giants in or around Huddersfield.

Agree with this, its almost as if its a case of 'oh well, if they come they come' from the club at times.

Yeah, I've said this before but the shop is in the wrong place - where it would be best to place it is a matter of opinion though...

There was a copy of the twah-uwag splash screen on a huge plateglass window Kirkgate end of packhorse.Also large plastic sign on rails outside George hotel,and posters outside founders bar.Not to mention loads of copies of st papers in railway station foyer.

Suppose the club are always open to suggestions from fans about how things could be done better.

just missing the billboards now on the main roads...
