Because I am proud of Huddersfield and the success of anyone from here.
Whether it is Town, Anita Lonsborough, Harold Wilson , Roy castle or wilf lunn.

Martians selling Smash and laughing about Huddersfield or books about Martians landing in Huddersfield.

It brings publicity and money to the town and people have heard of where I come from.

Apparently the publicity for Town has raised it,s profile and more students are now coming to the Poly. That brings money.

If you are struggling with jealousy go on the Wakey board like some of our other posters and argue with wakey fans about which of us is the crappiest team

Probably because Town weren’t expected to survive and were favourites for the drop. They battled hard to the very end, never gave up, beat some genuinely big teams, and have great - and very obvious - team spirit.

Whereas Fartown had finished first, third, third - were established as a top team challenging for silverware - and then fell apart, bickering amongst themselves, putting drinking ahead of training, showing all the fight and spirit of a deflated whoopee cushion, and limped over the line. .

One side was visibly proud to wear the blue and white stripes, the other was an embarrassment to the claret and gold hoops.

See the difference?

Tiny minds?

Grow up. We all know a lot of people who support Town who are friends or family. My dad was a Town season ticket holder for forty years, he’d have been utterly thrilled by this season. And he certainly didn’t have a tiny mind.

You could buy a Town season pass for £250. That’s pretty amazing for 19 games of Premiership football. It’s about thirteen quid a game. It compares pretty well with £125 for 14 Superleague games.

There’s a hell of a lot that Fartown can learn from their stadium-mates on engaging with the Town’s public.

Last point in this little rant!

You might not like football, nor do I really, but Niobe can deny that it’s a very high profile business. And Rugby league isn’t.

I'm a HTFC fan and I think they are doing magnificently. They have created an identity and a way of doing things, instilled pride in the shirt and gotten everyone pulling in the same direction. Managing expectations will be the biggest challenge for HTFC but in terms of maximising performances, playing smart, improving attendances and so on they have nailed it. Fartown could learn a lot from the way Wagner & Hoyle have gone about their business. Sean Jarvis too.

If they can keep hold of Kongolo that will be a massive bonus but I doubt it'll happen unfortunately.

Never happen.

I love both clubs so posts like that one from Jools does my head in. There needs to be more unity between the two clubs and a line drawn under everything that previously happened. The Giants would benefit massively from trying to ride the coat tails of HTFC. But alas... Grudges be grudges, and yes it works both ways.

least we benefit from a fresh lick of paint at the stadium!

Here. here Durham.

Don't forget Sir Patrick and it's the Uni now.

Agree with everything Durham, Steve May etc, etc say. I was brought up watching, Town and Fartown by my late father and brought my 2 sons up the same, my grand daughter also has the bug. My eldest who lives in Scotland has a Town season ticket and get's down to watch Town/Fartown whenever he can and the youngest son and grand daughter both have season tickets for both clubs. We're all born, bred and very proud of Huddersfield's illustrious history, both on and off the sports fields.
Here's to the future success of all things Huddersfield.

I'm not a soccer fan at all but i was rooting for town to stay up. People who compare the two clubs have really got no idea, Yes there is massive amounts of money involved in soccer, but for a team to just hold there own in the top league is a massive achievment, I'm the only League fan in my family, all the rest are Town mad, and good luck to them

Rugby league in comparison to Soccer is just nowhere, and anyone belittling Town for just surviving is just indulging in sour grapes, Have they forgotten we survived by a lick of paint, and just last season we lost in the CC to some part timers. The very best opposition in League pales in comparison to the opposition Town face in most of their games.
