It scares me how people can just believe propaganda. Society are slaves to it. It’s a slippery slope.

| Obviously not enlightened you Giants RL, however I feel many people (without an axe to grind) will have a better understanding of the man and his role.

| I'm not one particularly for properganda jools and i haven't slagged anyone off in particular. I have just commented on the podcast and my take on it. You can only judge a business on how you see it doing, I'm with Steve May on this, whoever has run the club for the past decade has overseen a slide downhill, Maybe it's just mirroring Huddersfield in general.
Fair enough i know nothing about the corporate side but if it's so good why bother with the Rugby at all, on the face of it no one at the club seems over bothered other than Mr Davy throwing money at it periodically. As usual though the miserable failure of the team to show any kind of potential to go forward in any way is as ever down to the moaning fans and endless bad luck.
The fans just keep turning up ( granted in decreasing numbers ) they cant do much else, they aren't running the club , they don't buy the poor expensive players that we have had over the years. So who does run the club who is responsible for getting us into such a shambolic state It's all just bad luck and we should appreciate what a difficult job it is and get behind the boys, Just what some people on here think we have been doing by going down to watch the utter tripe they are turning out is beyond me.
Still onward and upwards eh, or maybe more likely backward and downwards, what does it matter as as long as the bowl of Gravy is still there to dip their bread in.

| jo jumbuck what a pessimistic moaner you are.All clubs have ups and downs. We were the best team in superleague just a few years ago. We signed many internationals/origin players and still our support wasn`t strong enough to warrant the expenditure needed. Hence our concentration on commercial sponsorship, a sound business decision. The board makes decisions on what they believe to be in the clubs best interest. It doesn`t always work out, but thats sport. However when our club is going through a less successful period on the field thats when we need support more than ever. Everyone is trying on the playing side, their jobs depend on it. So lets get behind the players, the chairman, M.D>, and everyone else. When you are doing your job, do you think it would help to have someone (unqualified) to be telling you how wrong you were doing things and how if you listened to them it would be so much better? Listen to the podcast again and you may have a better understanding.

Fair enough mate, you have your opinion and i mine, and i reckon 30 years of supporting gives me a right to one . regards telling them they are wrong I would have thought the level the club have fallen to would have been a fair indicator of that. I would suggest when it gets to name calling it's a sign of a lost argument.

Best leave it there then mate, Let the club prove what a great job they are doing. It will be a bad time to get relegated ( if it happens ) because as i understand it there are big changes coming in 2021 when S league takes over a lot of the responsibility for the game from the RFL. we need to be at the top table if and when that happens. I'm sure someone has their finger on the pulse.

| Yes someone has their finger on the pulse, we just need that to reflect on the field, a positive note to finish on!

| I hope the person with the finger on the pulse isn't the same person who dealt with either of the Jake Connor or Kwith Mason fiascos.

| Quote: Steve May "
Something that I’ve long pondered is how rugby union clubs have managed huge growth in crowds. I worked for a long time in Northampton and over the same period the Giants have stagnated, the Saints have grown hugely. Why?'"
Excellent point
Bradford went from poor crowds to the biggest crowds - how?
Probably a lot of free tickets but we cant give tickets away and lets not go down the success on the pitch route as we were top 4 for a number of years and were top of league with average attendance of what? 6000?

I actually think that was part of the problem, we massively undervalued ourselves with cheap tickets when we started to see success on the field, since then the product has worsened and prices increased, to the casual fan that is not an attractive prospect. Even if we do still have brilliant value season tickets.

Think we were around 8500? Lack of ambition by the club to participate in the WCC after we finished top gave a strong message that we weren't interested in becoming a big club.
