I would rather give the cash to the talentbuilder (where I know the money will be well spent) than give it to a club on the brink of collapse all because of their own bad management. I bet they've had more money from the RFL since the beginning of SL than both Crusaders and Quins combined! And they've done nothing but waste it.
Is it correct that the only reason you cannot pre-buy tickets is because they cannot afford the paper to print them on?
And any truth to the persistant rumours that there will be a number of player rudundancies by the end of the month?'"
I would also suggest it will be easier for them to fudge the attendance and avoid the taxman and paying the Giants their 50% of the gate without tickets. Will we ever see the money anyway if they are about to go breasts vertical?

| Quote: Durham Giant "I hope a lot of Giants fans make the journey to Belle Vue.
For me it is a great ground steeped in RL history. I first went there in about 1978 and have visited many times in the past.
Whatever rivalry exists between teams no one likes to see another RL team in trouble. The problems there lay with poor running of the club for a long time and being stitched up by local politicians and whatever happens there fans do not deserve the crap they have gone through. We all know what it was like when the future of Huddersfield was in danger and i would not wish that on any true RL fan.
So get to Belle Vue support RL, support the giants and lets hope we do the talking on the pitch.'"
I always want Giants fans to go to games. Though PBG makes a very good point re where the money goes.
I will not get too dewy eyed about wakey. the ground is atrocious, a terrible way to treat rugby fans. Small suppliers were shafted when the club entered a cva and players had to go to court to get their contracts honoured and there is much more that besmirches TGG. Now that could be put down to 'management'.
But it is more than that. There are the 'fans' who have spend a decade tugging their forelocks whenever Ted is about / still needing to shout 'teapot' at England international Griffin (plus foul mouthed abuse) / insult Ken Davy at the drop of a hat / claim the giants are tenants at the Galpharm / disclose ex players personal financial details etc. Some of this vile lot have gone quiet given the dire position of wakey, But notice how they crept out of the woodwork and were crowing when opp was granted. So i think some fans do 'deserve' the crap they are going through.
I'll be there supporting the Giants U20s.

Ironic really when their ground is owned by Cala Homes.

| dont think i'll bother this weekend, i've seen us humiliate them enough there to last a lifetime
another point on the rivalry part - i wont ever forget the hatred and bitterness towards our club from some Wakey fans on here so as harsh as it sounds i hope those fans - and they know who they are - end up having no club to support as a punishment for some of the things that were said and suggested against our club and our clubs people !!

Do you also remember when you were at your wits end through being unemployed and crying into your keyboard, funny how you don't seem to remember those same Wakey fans on here giving you some encouragement for your predicament, is that what they call selective memory?

I am guessing, just guessing, that's probably why he said "some Wakey fans".

He said 'some wakey fans' not all wakey fans. Do try and read the post before you criticise it. The tone of your post is typical of certain wakey posters.
On the game itself. It is mainly your first team our reserves. How many should you win by?

| Then again --if you persist in close examination of Daz`s wording --if some snidey fans lost a team to support --wouldnt the decent ones suffer too .?
Regretably whilst I fully understand the point he`s making --and indeed why -such an outcome to their sorry plight affects ALL their fans surely?
Just a thought!

If you want to start an anti Wakefield thread and the mods are daft enough to encourage you, thats between you and them. Personally I'm sick to death of reading all your filth on the VT about us which resulted in a ban for you, read the post for what was said and please try not to bring in your own agenda.
On the game itself. It is mainly your first team our reserves. How many should you win by?
If you know what sides both clubs are putting out,then why ask me, its supposed to be a friendly not the Challenge Cup Final so long as both coaches learn from the game what does it matter? why does everything have to be confrontational with you against Waky fans?'"

In the papers Brown said it would be a mix and refered to Lunt and Kirmond getting a game + a few first team props. The rest will be reserve players a la Batley.
