So perhaps they need to change the way they do things. I'm sorry but I just feel that this thing is all a bit underhand.
Wane stated there would be no more signings for wigan this season, supporter association members told last week larne wasn't going. Now he's off "on loan" for a year- but if you read larnes comments and tweets it doesn't sound like he's planning to come back for the final year of his contract! When asked if he is he doesn't reply!
I understand that players come and go- it's part and parcel of the sport.
We keep being told "contact the club" well isn't that what the supporters association is for?????

HGSA is one way of getting information from the club. However, if no-one asks us, how do we know what people want to know?

HGSA will not contact the club every time someone has a moan on this forum, Facebook, etc.

Yes, we like to think that HGSA is the voice of the fans, but fewer than 200 have bothered to join. I've had the experience of supporters laughing in my face when distributing our literature at matches. The more people who join us, the louder our voice will be to the board. You don't like what we're doing or the way we express things, join the committee. You dislike what the chairman does, stand against him at the AGM.

This year we have raised £2000 for the youth development at the club. Just think how much more we could help the club if we had 2000 members.

Rant over!!!

So it's not just us then. Even the big clubs do it!!!

Stating you won't be signing anyone else and then revealing quality signing is a fair bit different to saying one of your core squad players won't be leaving and then letting him go.

I do understand the point you are making but if that is the conscious decision the club has made for its strategy for fan engagement then it's a worrying one.

The club has failed to attract the new support it required so it's being pushed into making these tough decisions - fully understandable. But to then treat those supporters it has with a wall of silence (in respect of official statements of their strategy) with the assumption that they won't continue to support the club or because they are scared of the criticism they will get from those fans is just short-termism at its worst.

I agree with you they need to be more open but have less sympathy as to understanding why they are not.

marwan koukash is a breath of fresh air, very open with what goes on at his club.

we rarely hear from ken davy, it seems this is what some fans are wanting now?? ken davy needs a twitter account

clubs operate in different ways im afraid, sometimes the way giants operate is frustrating yes

Some Huddersfield fans were quick to dismiss the rumours about Patrick leaving and equally were sure Lunt wouldn't be signing for Hull KR.

Just because you haven't heard the rumours and the player apparently denied it on social media doesn't mean it isn't happening.

Ken Davey can afford to financially support the Giants as long as he wishes and unlike both Korcash and Pearson he will no doubt be around for the long run but even he will eventually become reluctant. I fear unless Giant fans support there team in bigger numbers then Mr Davey may choose to cut his cloth a little more closely.

these people at the giants don't always tell the truth but they never tell a lie i had several pre match meals asked questions to paul morgan,richard thewlis and paul crib reguarding the signing of players days before huby was announced was told didn't know anything about and the ellis signing answer don;t think so has ivor says ask the club i did its just the way this outfit operates a vale of secrecy why announce something at 7 in the morning

If a player became available that would improve our team then I'm sure Ken Davy would break the bank to bring him here as long as we stay within the salary cap. He's owned the club for years now and has always backed the coach and the club to the hilt and I can't see that stopping now. We are on the verge of winning something big and after many years of trying to get the club to this stage I can't for the life of me see Ken Davy closing the purse strings and cutting back costs.

I've said it all along, once we get to a Grand Final or win the Challenge Cup the crowds will increase at the Giants, we've got the diehards who turn up week in week out but new fans are needed to kick on to the next level and winning silverware is what competitive sport is all about and entices new fans through the gates. We've been in the basement of RL for years up until the start of the SL era and now we are one of the top clubs who players want to play for. We've grown year on year under Ken Davy and that will continue to be the case.

Players will come and players will go but there's not many clubs to go to that will be a step up for the players leaving the Giants. We'll have another good season in 2015, Anderson has quite a good record in the transfer market and there's not many players who have left us and have gone on to better themselves. The players who come to the Giants in general kick on and this will be a good selling point for the club when trying to bring a player in.

We've all heard the rumours about Lunty going to KR but 100% he will be in a Giants shirt next season, end of.

never dismissed the patrick rumour, like i say been linked with wigan for ages.

lunt has said he is going knowhere, patrick hadnt.
