No it means theres 4000 supporters of other clubs getting information! I follow a few other clubs sites.

But the opposite of that is i know loads of regular fans,myself included, who don't use twitter ..fans aren't going to suddenly start going on twitter just to read what the club are saying ...there is also fans of other clubs and rugby league in general who follow every club i presume so its not just our fans or potential fans that follow it.

Do any of you follow Huddersfield's rugby union/basketball/american football clubs ? if you do/did and you saw a twitter or whatever from them would it make you want to go and watch them ?? simple question cos that's what expecting non fans of our club to do really.

The blueprint has already been laid, first by Cougers, improved on by Bulls, posters have covered just about all of it on here, its been said the Giants simply don,t have the people, therefore the problem is of the Giants making.
We should now be attacking the Bulls fanbase, we should be rolling our battle bus right up to their front door, the same with every town bordering us, Halifax Bradford Leeds Wakefield Barnsley Oldham Rochdale (lots of Yorkshire folk were sold off to the Lancs in 1974), Schools first, then town , posters etc. then industry, businesses.
If the giants carn,t be bothered the they must suffer the consequences. They must have spent 5K on posting ST info last week mostley to ST holders, do we need reminding? waste of money, better spent on general marketing to none ST holders.
l have long held the opinion that we don,t have the right peopke in the back office, needs sorting.

I was brainstorming a few ideas when I was bored and I pinged a few ideas to the club, the email I sent was long, dull and boring - here are a few points. Not all are probably viable, but some really are.

Totally agree ....get signed up to the HGSA and let's make things happen !!

l pushed HGSA with lvor many times on here in the last pre season l think lvor said we had 105 members, How many today lvor?, l miss a lot of meetings but when l can make it there,s usually about 20 - 30 there same old faces, and l don,t know if they are all members, its a quid for non members, that will put a lot of people off.
Maybe we should just face up to reality, the people of Huddersfield are not that interested, the back office staff arn,t that bothered, we have to wait for the next generation, and hope we still have a good club, sad but get over it.

l,ve said it before, there are some of the most boring, miserable, tight fisted people l have ever met in Huddersfield, this is going to be a very difficuilt job

I'd never been into rugby, never really heard much about it. But I started to go to the odd match (first game 2009) with my mates and I became hooked. So I don't want to just give up on it as I think it is possible to get more fans. Target markets are people with young families, what a way to spend some quality time with your son than at a game? Groups of young males who go to the pub on a Sunday - have a pint at the game instead. Just need to get this message across. There's a lot of ideas flying around, but we are missing those new, fresh ideas that could really work with a bit of a push.

Giants have over 14k followers on twitter, could be vastly improved upon.. with some initiative and ideas, its an avenue that needs to be used!! not many better ways of spreading the word

conorgiants fan spot on with the renaiming of the offiacial facebook page, its seems broken into two sections at the moment!

8831 likes for the above on facebook - leeds rhinos have 121,000 !!!!! now come on this is a joke, we should be looking at what they do and try replicate it..they are clearly showing the way to do things. i know leeds are a bigger club but still we are poor at this kind of thing, move with the times giants.

the above are the best way of engaging with the younger generations... some where we lack at the giants im afraid.

its not good enough, ken davy needs to set on a new media person!

the supporters group is very much still in its infancy and it has done well

think the column in the examiner was a great move and well done for that but sometimes i lose interest in reading it half way down, just comes across abit boring and all about the past/heritage stuff ..which we are all proud of but maybe talk about the prev game/upcoming game etc sure we have ideas on here and plenty of issues/topics?

not wanting to upset anyone just how i feel when reading it sometimes.

Brearley - This is why the HGSA want new members to try and improve things and bring their own ideas to the table, i'm sure the Chairman would be interested in letting others put stuff in the Examiner if they wanted.
