| For me it's nothing to do with not liking Huddersfield Town. It's just football is soooooo utterly boring, I can't do with watching a set of overpaid acting puny prima donnas.

Promotion to the Championship would have done wonders for both us and Town, with bigger crowds meaning more revenue to Fartown (although probably not 80% anymore as I think Hoyle is trying to sort out the shares debacle.)

How would Town being promoted do wonders for us?
Gutted they lost, be nice if they'd gone up.

| I feel for the geniune town fans but i have other issues with other Town fans and for their likes wish no success whatsoever....plus being a SWFC fan i have no interest in another football team even if they happen to play in my hometown.
Also i've had to put up with Town fans all season giving it big to me how my team are rubbish and town are the best in Europe etc etc and the last 6 weeks how they are guaranteed promotion etc etc and no one can touch them etc etc and even yesterday morning was recieving texts from people claiming their promotion party had already started so i could'nt help laughing when i watched their untouchable already promoted team collapse in the last 15 minutes !!
where is there a rule that says you have to want the team in your hometown to win ......never stopped idiot town fans sending death threats to KD did it or should it only work 1 way??

| It would have lifted the whole town. ATEOTD whilst we have some haters of the association version on here the majority of both sets want Huddersfield Rep sides to do well. If Huddersfield had a tiddlywinks team I would want them to win. EOS.

Becuase, promotion would ultimately meant bigger crowds, which would therefore mean more money being spent in the stadium on such things as refreshments, beer and merchandise.
And, as Ken Davy gets 80% of all of these things, I think its fair to say it would have benefitted Fartown no ends.

No it wouldnt mate, irrelevant what the kiosks make as to what we spend.

No, they are sold under one business - "Sporting Pride LTD" which recieves 40% of anything stadium related.
Granted, the refreshment kiosks are run by a 3rd party, apologies, but anything Davy recieves from the stadium shares could well go into Fartown for all you know!

| so are you suggesting that as KD owns Sporting Pride he can take every penny town make and put it into the giants ??
I'm sure accountants, football league and Rugby League people would have something to say on that matter.

| Apologies, I have just checked the data and that Davy's 40% share in Town was handed to Dean Hoyle after long deliberation.
As for KDSL, I'm unsure as to who they are and what they do!
Anyway, back to the point, I still think that, whether you are a fan of football or not, you don't need to support Huddersfield Town in presence, but laughing at failiure, when it could only be good for the Town, to me, seems foolish.

| I disagree, i dont think Town getting promoted would have made a blind bit of difference to the Town as a whole except to HTFC and their fans .
Would probably make town fans even more deluded and less likely to want to be 'partners' with the Giants !
KSDL were the original company set up to run the stadium.

Sounds like quite a big stereotype of Town fans that though, just like any other sport fans, we all think our team is 'the best.'
Just like I, and probably you too, think that Fartown are onto something big and could well win either one/two trophies this year. This is only the same as Town fans thinking that we were going to win promotion yesterday, because as form suggests, we were favourites and did have every right to be confident, (and not complacent like the players seemed!)

I was referring to most town fans ( that i know) attitude towards the Giants ,not generally
