l will miss this game now, l flew over to watch majic and the Saints , Wolves matches, will we get a refund? l will certainly try.
l,m really getting fed up with this, thats 2 games i,ve missed this season due to moving dates. and it will surely not get better.
the RFL, FL, Sky , and the Giants themselves, give scant regard to Giants fans. When the Giants went to the Cup Final did Town re-arrage their game, no way. if they have a cup game in future that falls on our home weekend , we will get another date change.
Been a ST holder as long as l can remember, l think thats it for me.

Well you'll still be able to go to the Wolves matches
What have Town to do with Giants cup final? If they want reduced gate because Giants are in final, good look to them. That's the only reason we moved game - reduced attendance.
Nonsense post

I reckon the fact it was an excuse to not play 3 games in 8 days rather than a worry about gates tbh. We get very few "walk ups" attending so the cash is mostly in the bag from ticket sales.

It could be that neither club wanted the game only 3 days after their previous. But it's not because of a possible reduced attendance it was moved because the staff needed to open the ground would be going to Wembley many being used to steward buses. Giants have limited funds as it is and the cover staff would be an outside contractor who already charge double what the stadium staff cost never mind it being a bank holiday therefore time and half is charged something the stadium doesn't pay its staff so it'd be too costly. Had it not been a bank holiday the game would've been played.

Oh dear you criticise someone who flies from Portugal regularly to watch the Giants because he is ed off that when games get changed at short notice he misses them.

The reality is that it is bad enough when sky change things but now we are at the beck and call of both the Giants decision making and the vagaries of football.

The club need to face up to this and do something more flexible on ticketing and accept that alienating long term fans is not the best business model for the future.

didnt see you at newcastle this weekend durham?! do you still support the giants?

I didn't see you either brearley...

was there

Still support the Giants but don't waste my money watching them anymore.

Bad for the bank balance and bad for my mental health.

Watching the Giants for over 40 years is just demoralising and depressing

Might start to watch again if I feel the club want to rise above mediocrity and incompetence.

Show some ambition, planning and organisation that suggest they don't want to just be basement dwellers and a Mickey Mouse club.

Signing players that suggest ambition and not failure or getting a new chief exec who knows what they are doing would be a good start.

Spot on

I still attend out of loyalty but the club is run by amateurs !

Can't argue with your points. I love rugby league, so will always attend. But I fully agree with what you say.

No I criticise someone who criticises Town for the Giants changing dates, regardless of whether they come from Marsh or Timbuctoo

I attend because i bought a ST thinking a new coach may make a difference, IMO you can not blame anyone for not going no matter how long they have been a fan, There are many many fans who just refuse to support a club that never improves.

They have had maybe 6 seasons that have been acceptable in my time supporting them "! about 30 years " and i saw them many times in the 30 years before that, They have always been a side that had some good players, but they have rarely been a good team to watch, and people just wont pay to see drudge.

l am not critisizing town, read it again, what l am saying is these 3 games have been moved to accomodate town. its the Giants who agree to this when it is clear they dont have to, l went down on Tuesday to speak to them, they were very appologetic, but l know l am probably an isolated case. l asked in future if an unscheduled soccer match ie FA CUP was played the Saturday our Friday match is playing would we have to move. they said "no", just as a matter of interest this conversation took place in the foyer, when i asked why we carn,t play Friday if Town play Saturday a town fan who was listening piped up its because you churn up the pitch.
When we were asked to choose Sunday or Friday, l didnt much care as i normally fly in on Fridays and home on Mondays, but now after these expieriances i would defo go back to Sunday. Fridays will be Loose loose loose, to placate the hedgehog, the RFL, FA, SKY, either don,t know or don,t care about our fixture clashes. Town cannot demand we change they simply request, but the Giants always agree. Going back to churning up the pitch, we just played 6 games in 2 days in Newcastle, no problem, we have a semi-sinthetic pitch which is supposed to cope with all this, if it carn,t then someone needs to be answering some questions.

i think its an FA rule that they get precedent over who plays at the stadium...if its a fixture clash then town play.. due to them worrying about the weather and state of pitch it seems it can also be done for that too, we have been over this topic before when we had to switch a game earlier in the season if you find it on here.
