Quote: Durham Giant "What you and Giant Scorpio seem to miss in your posts is the mickey poor attempts by the club to undertake things.

FIVE YEARS ago in a meeting at the club i raised the issue of getting the supporters involved in undertaking things to help the club out.

I talked about a whole host of things but made it clear it should be part of a co ordinated strategy. Everything from posters to the club, attending carnival attempts in the town,.

I offered if the club would advertise to make work books for children in maths usin g Giants as a theme.

I explained it should not just be a simple appeal but should be motivated as part of a coherent strategy.

I talked about them making a poster like the WWI one with kitchener replaced by Eorl with the slogan Your club needs you.

We suggested that Ponner be supported to make his youtube videos on a monthly basis and for them to be sent to everyone on the clubs email list etc.

I suggested that for volunteers they had a bit of a do at the end of the season with the players there as a thank you.

NONE of this required lots of Money.
None of it required lots of time
None of it required lots of resources.

I offered to pay £200 and to undertake one of the suggestions myself but wanted the club to sanction it.

Not one of these things has been done.

The club continues to do things piecemeal, half cocked without thought, imagination, initiative.

The band good idea planned badly. No one really knew it was happeneing until it started. Where was the consultation where was the planning with the singers before the event

They are all qualities that have fook all to do with money or resources.

Anyone that goes on about moaning is speaking rubbish. You just accept mediocrity, you are blind to the facts, your loyalty does you a disservice.

The club treat many supporters with disdain.

They treat the ex players association appallingly. Rarely send first team players to meals etc, withdrawing season tickets etc from them.

I moan because i care about the club.

I moan because i am sick of watching appalling manangement and actions by peolple who need to be moved on and bring in people with new ideas, new energy, new dynamism. It is run by those who try the same old things then blame the fans for not getting behind the club.

That is a view that is then echoed on here by Jools, Giant Scorpio and Ivor.

If i managed as badly at work as those do at the Giants i would be unemployed. When things go wrong at work i look at myself and think what do I have to do to make it better.

I dont just allocate cases to staff ( who are completely overwrked already i sit them down explain why they are best for the case.

I enthuse and encourage and motivate them.

I never blame the staff. I accept responsibility for my management.

All we get on here is it is the fans fault , it is the people of Huddersfields fault, it is SKys fault.

WTF are the club doing.

Doing exactly the same thing and blaming the fans.

RTEad the posts on here from other Giants fans not the loyal jools, Meast, Ivor and GiantS.

But other fans who have been around year.

It does not matter how fooking loyal you lot are, when the others have gone and the demorlaisation sets in you wont build it back up.

It is you loyal uncritical ones who do the disservice to the club and will hasten it's demise to Championship 2. I have no doubt you will still be happy standing on te stands and talking about how great you are.

You will be able to tell your grandchildren about how you were the 300 in 2020.

The 300 is nothing to celebrate it is a sad example of the clubs previous decline.

Something which is starting again IMHO'"

Extremely well put mate, Sadly it will fall mostly on deaf ears.

I am beginning to think that maybe Daz has a good point, Maybe the board are hitting their targets, and we really are only meant to be a nearly team. If some of them have jobs as safe as they seem to have, why rock the boat.
