Can we talk about the game for a bit?

Feeling confident on this one, despite us having a terrible record v Salford
Players back on deck with luck
In good form and a usually ok ref

Good morning all Fartowners. Jools first. Our problem is that the Stadium Company runs the AJ Bell not ourselves. We are subserviant & we cannot even have a Club Shop inside the Stadium thanks to poor prior arrangements. We do our best lass and again would welcome you all on Sunday apart from the bad fans who have been banned by Salford and possibly may be Fartowners for the day.

Mr Brearley - You generally talk some sense but I have to say your core base is nowt like 5,000 unless Diane Abbot is counting them. More like 3,000 much the same as us BUT we take our 800+ everywhere - I just wish your fans were as consistent. One small point is that our fan base is relatively young when compared to your own - is that a good thing or not?

Re the game on Sunday. You may well have a sniff and with Mamo I would think you would be favourites but as it is this match could go to the wire. Talking about wire - well they are surely certs for the bottom 4 and maybe a MPG as well. Don't times change?

If Brearley is Diane Abbot, then you are Donald Trunp with your Fake Facts!

Your lowest was against Widnes on a Sunday afternoon
Ours was against Catalan on a WEDNESDAY NIGHT, although we have still to play Widnes at home.

3,000 core support? so are you suggesting there's 3,000 away fans at everyone of our home games?

We have a steady 4,500 to 5,000 hence why our crowds are usually around that figure.

As for consistent then yes we are, it's the same faces at every away game, maybe not as large as other away supports but definitely as or more passionate and enthusiastic than most.

Funny one is Salford, it's probably the only away game i don't really look forward to or get excited about for a few reasons - we usually lose to them, home and away, the ground is a soulless place in the middle of nowhere and is probably the only away game where it's simply a case of turn up, watch the game, go home - unless you like travelling around, no atmosphere, home fans unable to swallow defeat too well and just generally an all round negative feeling about the place/game.

Saying all that i'll be there on Sunday, cheering them on, hopefully fuelled by alcohol to make the day a bit more enjoyable.

Blimey, Salford and Hudds fans in a crowd number dick-measuring discussion is like gobbing-off about which is better, getting your nads ripped off or pummeled with hammers...

Anyway, should be a good game. We've been quite inconsistent recently and I think we will be wanting to make a statement with this game and get back on track. Your guys have also picked-up form so it may be a good quality game.

I look forward to jools' comments about where we got lucky/cheated/thuggery etc before berating the fans/stadium/city as is the norm after our two sides clash.

ha not much to talk about till the squads are announced and even then it will hard to pick a team as we seem to have someone drop out before the game!

yep mixed bag against salford in recent years, tend to do better at their ground than at our place!

pfft bentham... i bet he has the worst record out of all the refs for us ..regards winning games.. we used to get him regular when we were at the top end of the league and on sky tv..not so much now

oh dear, do your research on the attendance figures.

that is a good thing your fan base is young... although some may say not so as they have caused you a few problems off the field with incidents. lets hope they continue to get behind you and you will bear the fruits in years to come... we missed that generation of fans im afraid but compared to other clubs like yourself we actually do ok an attendaces.

If you had called any of the telephone numbers supplied on the web site you would have talked to very helpful people who speak English perfectly , but as you have admitted you decided to phone Sale Sharks and Ticketmaster! Getting the correct telephone number from the internet is not difficult!

Anyway, we look forward to welcoming the largest Huddersfield away following of the year. ( About 50?) and your rants about carpark/traffic/roads/no gluten free options soon after.

I did use the number on the website. And got through to your ticket office to a useless person who couldn't help (mostly as her English was so terrible) when she said she couldn't sell me a ticket I asked to be put through to sales and marketing- so Your ticket office salesperson gave me the number that turned out to be for Sale sharks. The Salford telephone system automatically put me through to ticketmaster when I tried again but noone at your club answered. When I phoned yet again I left my details and asked someone to contact me- still no one has and I phoned on Tuesday morning. Oh I also emailed the address on the website- no reply there either. Face it your club is shoddily run.

About 50. But we wont start fights with ourselves, the stewards, our own players.....

dickinson and mcintosh to miss out for me.

Tricky one this week really.

Mellor Murphy is a poor partnership and so is Murphy Mcintosh.

whats the point juggling the team around so much just for one player???

why not a straight swap Rankin for Ridyard?

Rapira for Dickinson??

mcintosh been poor in his last few games for us, cant afford the mistakes now.

may very well put ranking in the halves though.

rapira in for dickinson yes... on last weeks showing id prob have dickinson in ahead of mason too really
