Seems to me that DH's statement says 'the changes' were something trivial so he's opted out of signing on principle maybe ??.... KD says they were important to the Giants and he made some changes asked for by HTAFC anyway.

Idiots on the Town message boards and in person are now calling themselves tennants and wanting to move to the Shay ! Surely they would be HTAFC.... but with Halifax instead of Huddersfield......

I'm sure HTAFC will get 'their ' shares back but the agreement should be fair to all three parties and have a clause that stops all this 'you'll be out when we are in the 'premier League' once and for all. The shares after all took into account matches played in the stadium so 40% 40% and 20% reflected each parties contribution so of course HTAFC paid more they play a minimum of 23 games whereas the Giants play a minimum of 13 so proceeds as and when should also be on staggered distribution.

However for many years the RFL have put internationals and semi finals Huddersfields way on top of the Giants contributions which hasn't happened from the soccer side.

AND FINALLY !! Which team rented the Shay and played home matches there last year ?? It wasn't HTAFC so the 'tennant' stayed 'put' and the owners played in Halifax to let the pitch be relaid somehow that doesn't reflect any form of unfair tennant owner relationship to me.

Seems KD is a somewhat tougher cookie than DH is used to dealing with in the greetings card industry !! hence his outburst obviously mentioning the 'special relationship' and no its not the one with the USA... its the HTAFC fans of course !!! seems the Giants and KD got there first on that one !!

it seems as though its kirkless council that have moved the goal posts....giants just sticking to the deal that was already in place

so the dumb football fans need to lay off ken davy/giants and start with the council.

UP THE GIANTS!!!!

only just read todays examiner, i was going on saturdays piece ... and hoyles statement just makes it worse!

ken davy agrees to give the shares back based on what was agreed at the start of the partnership with giants/town/council...not on the one which he saved town on..

hoyle trying to tarnish SIR ken davys name

This whole stadium share thing is not good for either sports team, I love both clubs and I will for the rest of my life and it's such a shame this share handover has not been sorted out yet. Either something has gone on that we dont know about or certain people are causing pointless delays. I just want it sorting out sooner rather than later if not no doubt both football and Rugby fans will start falling out and a divide will start again which is just stupid. We both play at a fantastic sporting venue, we are Huddersfield so let's sort this out and see both teams succeed in the near future.

Let's see who we're against here. We're against brain-dead Town fans, who say things like:

'The man is morally bankrupt and for someone who purports to have the best interests of sport in the town at heart'

'It is my recollection that the Giants brought very little to the "party,"'

'Sorry Joe, I know why the Giants fan part of you loves the guy, but think you're clutching at some pretty thin straws there to try and defend him from a Town fans perspective.

i never really understood why the Giants were ever awarded 20% at all, baring in mind they contributed nothing.'

'Forgive my inevitable ignorance but if we achieved significant success (ie; full houses in the Premier) then the natural move would be for the rugby team to play elsewhere!'

They're planning a large scale protest against the 'Villain' Davy. If we can make a 'Well Done Wire' sign, surely we can show a little thanks for the fantastic chairman we have when everyone seems to be against him!

I dont claim to know about the share issue but can someone confirm if i am right or wrong here.........Sir Ken bought Town's shares in the stadium for £2 when he saved their club and now they are worth obviously a lot more money are Town expecting Ken to just hand them back to them ?

Hand them back for £2, yes. Davy has (quite rightly) said that, although the 40:40:20 deal was set up in the first place, the Giants bring more to the table now than 10 years ago, so deserve a higher % I believe.

but if Ken owns the shares....legally... why should he give them back?
if they want them get their wonderful chairman to buy them at full price from Ken !

As town fans, they are superior to Rugby, so deserve 'their' shares back. If Hoyle's so great, he should buy them back as you say, at full price.

I would presume the same Town fans would be willing to let the club sell Jordan Rhodes for the same price they payed for him? The club would be morally bankrupt and they themselves stupendous hypocrites if they don't.

Oh no, that's 'totally different'

Anyone, and I mean ANYONE, who slings mud at Ken Davy is an idiot who has absolutely no idea what that man has done for Huddersfield as a town. It could very easily be argued that we would have neither an RL nor a soccer team without him.

These individuals need to get a grip and show some respect for a man who has consistently put his money where his mouth is and salvaged two virtually lost causes at no inconsiderable cost to himself.

Slagging off Sir Ken is well out of order.
