I seem to recall we had a well done wire flag too and this was very well appreciated by the wires fans, so yes it did matter to your fans. We haven't won it yet but its looking good , very good

It means a lot to me winning the LLS. I remember watching us at Crown Flatts and we took a right spanking many years ago. I only dreamed of seeing us in the top flight then and could only imagine us winning the league. Now fast forward 25 years and we are 1 win away from finishing top. I've booked a day off work to travel down from Scotland in the hope that we can finally do the unthinkable and lift the LLS at home against Wakey.

It means a great deal to me and there was no way I would miss it for the world. Let all the supporters of the so called big clubs slag it off and say it means nothing but to me and fellow Fartowners it means something. And if/when we win it I'll celebrate like we've won the Grand Final. A Grand Final appearance might be on the horizon in the not too distant future too going off the team we've now assembled, so fingers crossed we might come accustomed to winning major trophys on a regular basis.

The thing that gets me is if we had faulted, bottled, choked, or fell apart the opposing fans would be on where like a rash.

Where are they now, yep waiting for us to mess it up, or starring into their pints wondering how they are the one an who have choked no us k020.gif

2, as a proffesional Yorkshireman, l hate buying ale to pore down someone else,s throat, but l will, and gladly
3, a reward for Sir Ken

It matters because it matters - as a Wire fan I wish we could win the hub cap every year. The one and only true sign of the champion team IMO.


WELLL DONE FARTOWN.

Keefie - maybe you could write your memories of us finishing top in 1932? You must have been at least 20 years old then.

listening to saints/ wakefield game on radio Manchester Ray French commentating had some very nice things to say about Giants and didn't mention our lack of supporters so presume he was genuine in his praise eusa_clap.gif

Quote: GIANT DAZ "Its a trophy for achieving something no other team has that season - never mind the Wigan, Leeds, Wire fans etc saying it doesn't matter and we're only up there cos they 'dont want it'....rubbish we have been the best team all year and in my view they say that as an excuse for their team not being as good as ours ...surely every fan wants to see their team win things, anything ?

I want my team to win trophies, If we win the shield i will remember it for years to come, would you swap that for a 3rd or 4th place finish just to be able to play such and such team in the end of season competition ?

It is a stepping stone to glory, win this and people will start thinking of us as serious challengers in the future now, i would love us to get to Old Trafford and win the Grand final but if we dont i will be more than happy with just winning the shield.....We've plenty of time to crack the big one.'"


I'm not sure any team "doesn't want it". Rather they don't prioritise it and want it at the expense of giving themselves the best chance of progressing in the playoffs.
