| Quote: halifaxgiant "I think this is a concern there is no way the chairman would do this if sales were good, I suspect we are on half of last year ie 3 k. As I said last year it is a huge gamble in any business to give your product away. ALot bought last year on back of a cheap deal if we had backed up all the promise with success we would have had something to build on. As it is all our loyal fans will renew but many floaters no.Add to that constant moving of ko by sky and now towns success it makes giants a hard sell.People I know are sort of interested but town will always come first and that means we just cannot get what ken needs so he isn't having to keep throwing in. It makes you wonder how many more seasons he will there is a lot riding on this season.'"
Town`s success does not make much difference in Huddersfield as more supporters come from out of the town area.
I live in Dewsbury and there are a lot more town supporters here than Giants fans, and I know quite a lot come from the Wakefield area.
Also is it success when they are lying 9th in the league. The Giants would not be happy with 9th position.

| Actually it is 29th in the league system, but looking at it another way 29th out of 92 full time professional clubs rather than 7th out of 14, we need to be top 4 to match Town's current relative performance.

Somewhere in the dust of time rest the bones of the Galilean
He who was spat upon. He whose face was marred beyond all human likeness
Somewhere buried among the lies of the past rests the tomb of Yeshua
Of he who was made God in a world without Hope.
And when this son of Joseph is found. What then will the Church of Rome say?
Prepare yourself for the day is coming. And men will say
"Blessed are the wasted lives who perished in the flames of the holy war": |

Can't imagine anyone held a gun to his head.

| No gun I agree --but the present situation alas!
Afraid though that most on here who can afford it WILL have renewed - its the doubting Thomas`s he`ll have to hope come good!
They`re out there somewhere!

| I think its just the way the club are starting to do things, Eorl did a similar message a month or so ago and probably no point reading too much into it.
I think we need to embrace anything that might sell the extra season ticket or two as we are never going to be a club who put season tickets (or even big match tickets) on sale and thousands get snapped up in the first few days but if we slowly build to a workable figure then that is as good as we are probably going to get.
Some obviously see it as reeking of desperation (and perhaps it is) but the club have been getting the discount and deadline out there by a variety of different medias and hopefully come Friday night their efforts will have been rewarded....time will tell.

| There are some right miserable, pessimistic buggers on this forum
Thank Christ the percentage of giants fans that lurk here and elsewhere is pitifully small in comparison to our attendences
Club chairman tries a new way to sell the club to a wider audience and all you lot can do is shout WE'RE DOOOOOOOOOOOMED
Maybe ticket sales are down, we don't know - maybe they are on target, again we don't know...but if folk on here keep shouting we are in the mire to all and sundry then it starts to turn into the truth.
Reading the words coming from the club is all positive, were gonna have a massive pack, we've got some truly outstanding backs and the best halfback in the country. It's a squad that desperately knows it under performed last season and almost certainly knows why - that says to me they are hungry to prove themselves
I can't wait for the season to start - remember our last home game?

| When does positive spin cross over to become self-delusion.
Think it's for each individual to decide for themselves what the tone of KD's vid was, without automatically being labelled a cathode.
