merely a whine
what was more disappointing was the crap excuses for supporters leaving with 5 minutes left of a very very good season for us

Well they paid their money, they take their choice. At least they turned up at all, I suppose.

I went, I stayed while the very end and applauded the lads. Not for their performance on the night but for a great season overall. I don't really get why people would leave early in that particular game but each to their own.

We played too much one up stuff. We only made one break all match, which we scored from, and that was via Robinson playing a hooking role. Creativity wise we were sadly lacking and it's a mystery as to why we consistently underperform on Sky. We missed Brown, yes, but even so we were miles off the pace. I also thought Catalan basically offered up the fight and we tried to take the higher ground. We should have just knacked them and played with a bit more feeling and emotion.

On the plus side, I went to renew my ticket this morning. There was a queue, in which was only one HTFC fan. The rest were Fartown and they were all renewing. A couple of them had 3 and 5 tickets respectively from my earwigging.

As the badge says from years ago when we were utter gash in SL (and which I still have), Keep The Faith.

My missus hit the nail on the head today


The problem with getting to the playoffs is, unless you win the grand final, your last game is a dissapoinment and a loss.

I just hope that doesnt colour too many opinions of our season.

i was supporting you as a wire fan and the challenge cup will always be in mind so i for one would like you to do well but tell me this is huddersfield a rugby town or a football town i am not sure

well the football team regularly pull in over 10,000 crowds despite been in the 3rd tier so you tell us?

sadly it seems people will only watch us if we are doing extremely well, i think the mentality within the town is still seen as your wasting your time supporting the rugby team, yet despite how poor the football team are they still seem to pull the crowds in.very frustrating for ken davy and for us long standing supporters

i think huddersfield is a football town, with a growing rugby interest, our average gates now are catching up hopefully matching towns sooner rather than later, i think this season we have taken big steps in evening the balance up between the 2 sports in the town.

For me we seemed to stop playing as expansively in our last few games. We definitely missed Kev Brown and we seemed very unsure of ourselves. We were also bullied IMO and did not really stand up to that.

is KP still on your coachig staff

If you mean Keiron Purtill he is now back at Saints.

cheers, why did he leave?

IIRC it was a difference of opinion on how the team should be conditioned.

Again IIRC he wanted lithe, faster players, everyone else wanted stronger, tougher players.

You're thinking of Geoff Evans there C13.

Ok, ta.

The football team get a lot of support from the 'Heavy Woolen' area consisting of Batley, Dewsbury, Mirfield, Liversedge, Cleckheaton, Heckmodwike, Robertown, Birstall, Earlsheaton etc. A lot of these people wouldn't dream of supporting the Giants because they are :-
1. Batley or Dewsbury fans.
2. Hate the Giants because Ken took their stadium off them.
3. Hate the Giants because they were given sqillions to keep them in Super League and even then when they finished bottom 4 years on the trot weren't relegated.
4. Would rather support Bradford / Wakey / Leeds or any combination of these 4.

I'm not giving an opinion as the whether this is right, wrong or indifferent.
It's just an observation based on conversations with Town fans from this area.

My view is that Kirklees (Hudds + Heavy Woolen area) is definately a Huddersfield Town football area rather than a Giants rugby area. When it comes to Huddersfield itself the spread will not be as bad from a Giants point of view but will still be in the football clubs favour.
