Catalan regularly get over 10k don't they? Wasn't it outside Perpignan though? 7800 at the same fixture at craven park.

Quote: TBC "There are lots of Town fans who as interested in the Giants but who will not attend matches for various reasons as you say. I get the same interest in pubs after games. The shares issue and how Ken 'treated' Town still prevents people attending as 'it puts money into Ken Davy's pocket'. There are 2 in my office and one in my lad's who will not attend for this one reason. One actually enjoys seeing the Giants lose as 'it wipes the smile off Ken Davy's face' - this is someone who can trace his Huddersfield family roots back over 300 years! These are entrenched views that I believe will not change. It's a shame that the man who has done so much for the club is the reason some people don't attend.
How many there are with this view is debatable and it's interesting that a fair few seem to be part of the 'lost generation' of fans who grew up when Fartown were lurching from one crisis to another whilst Town were in the midst of the Micky Buxton era when Town played some of their best ever football. These people will always be Town fans first and foremost. The Giants true future is with the kids who will not have this baggage and who need attracting at an early age as possible. The number of families / kids have grown significantly in recent years and its imperative to the future success of the Giants that trend continues.'"


What's the problem between Davy and town fans did not know they had a dispute.

Long story - to do with when Ken saved their club from extinction, part of the deal was that he got to buy their 40% shares in the stadium for £2 as thats all they were valued at at the time, Town fans have demanded that he gives them back now that the new owner/chairman has pumped money into the club he loves (but didnt want to know when Ken had to bail them out) and it basically turned into a hate campaign against him.

It's a long running dispute with a very long story.

Try this thread on a Town fans website, I have to warn you it's one of many and is 10 pages long - downatthemac.proboards.com/threa ... y-sheerman

The dispute must have been running a good few years now.

Just out of curiosity I wonder how much it has cost Ken to bail out Town and the Giants without him there wouldn't be either football club or Rugby club.

It currently costs ken 20k a week to keep the giants going. That's not including what he's spent on buying the club(s) and the new facilities at Lockwood.

If you know that for a fact, and if it came from Ken himself, do you not think that he might have said it in confidence?

If it didn't come from Ken, then the words 'I've heard that' might be a good addition.

What we should be doing now is putting posters up all over town and outlying areas showing the league table and how well we are doing, maybe folk aren't aware how good we are this year and if they realise it might entice them to come.....get some offers on for the last 3 homegames (maybe a package deal and a reduced play-off ticket if they buy).

We're 2nd in the league, quarter finals of the cup but how many possible fans know this ??

Sometimes you say some daft things

People have the memory of a goldfish, and have to be told constantly - why else do companies spend millions on adverts? Coca cola are THE most famous brand in the world but still spend money and use gimmicks to get people to buy their fizzy brown sugar

It needs to be constant to get people in until they come on a regular basis, not once or twice a season but at every opportunity, yes people know where we are but I'd bet not even every fan that has a season ticket could tell you what day our next home game is

To do nothing results in achieving nothing. Just as on the pitch the effort off it has to be matched, and I don't mean in cheap tickets but in maximising exposure and making our last home games events - each and every one of them
