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.

how would Town selling more merchandise benefit the giants though? the 2 clubs are completely seperate businesses

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

hope you're not putting me in to that Town fan bracket Daz

I had a good day out in Manchester its just a pity we lost at the final hurdle. In a pub on Deansgate there were plenty of Town fans watching and supporting Fartown on the tv and it was good to be able to have a conversation about the game with like minded Terriers/Fartowners during the build up to the play off final.

Given the same predicoment again I'd go watch Town in a big final or important match over a normal Fartown league game just like I go and watch Fartown when the roles are reversed !!!! I support both the football and rugby teams of Huddersfield and will never choose which one I support the most as they both mean a great deal to me just like Daz and Measts support of Wednesday and Fartown. Its not my fault I was brought up to watch Town and Fartown as a youngster by my Dad and Grandad is it

Up the Terriers and Giants!!!!!

you know very well i dont mean you Joe, in fact your the only giants'/town fans who actually sticks up for the giants when the town lot spout their crap....Glad you had a good day mate , least you still get a big cup final at our place next year

Well it will be 3 points at least...

more likely 6 again

Div 1 certainly has plenty of derbies next year

Fingers crossed chief!
