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.

imo it makes no difference what marketing the club do if the people of Huddersfield aren't interested. I'm sure town do tonnes of marketing- I don't see any of it because I'm not interested in the game and no amount of marketing will change that for me.

As for changes in personnel not convinced that would make any difference---- Robbie Paul was the great messiah- in the end he changed squat.....

Your a teacher if you have a child who is not mitivated what do you do ?

Do you work out how to motivate him or just give up ?????????

How difficult is it to keep a record of people emails and then send them a newsletter every month ?

Yet it is beyond the wit of the Giants. other than a brief message we occasionally get.

How hard to do a five minute video.
The Boys in the weight room.
Brough on kicking practyice.
The physio room.
The work of the conditioner.
The players been flogged on training.

A bit of music as background and it creates interest.

How hard is that.

Ponner offered to do it for nothing and the club did not take him up on it,

That is right
FOR NOTHING.

No money, no significant time for the club just someone with a bit of wit and imagination needed to help a suppoprter to do it for free FREE FREE FREE FREE

You seem to create an artificial distinction.

These two groups can and do change.

You maybe passionate and go home and away and be a supporter then things change you move abroad you work away you have kids then you become a fan.

You can be a fan who then gets hooked and become as supporter.

Yes it is all the people of huddersfields fault blah blah blah

Poor analogy Durham-
I have been a teacher long enough to know that it makes no difference what I do or say, no amount of anything is going to motivate certain individuals-! And you still try -but tbh I'm better off focusing efforts on those that are motivated.
I get emails all the time with info from the club- probably one a week.
I also know that I got pretty peed off when the football team kept sending me stuff I had absolutely no interest in because they happened to have my email address!!!!
We've had weights video, and several training videos- tonnes of stuff all the time on social media-and you won't ever get a video of brough doing kicking practice- because according to him - he doesn't do any!!!!!!

Which just goes to show how much interest and ambition the decision makers have.

If I was paying D Brough £100,000 a year he would be practising, and he wouldn't be telling people otherwise if he wanted to keep on getting paid.

But I think you are right , I reckon the club have adopted the attitude you describe, There's nothing we can do, something might turn up, Till it does, just keep soldering on.

Haven't the Giants lost somewhere around 3000 fans in the last 2/3 years, Those Huddersfield people clearly were interested weren't they, Now they are not, I wonder why.

A lot of them came on the back of cheap (£50) season tickets and a cup final, they came to see trophies being won not necessarily to support the club !, they're probably at Headingley or Etihad Stadium these days.
We have a hardcore of 4-5,000 fans who will turn up whatever, it's getting the other 15,000 who turned up for Cup finals to come as regular fans rather than glory seekers, god knows how though !!

Well Daz it don't matter whether they are hardcore or glory seekers, the turnstile, doesn't know the difference, and if they came to see Cup finals and trophies being won, Then you have answered your own question, Thats what you have to give them.

Ah, yes that's where the club have gone wrong then...by not giving the 'fans' trophy wins to celebrate !!!

Come on, "Thats what you have to give them".....like the club/players haven't tried to do that !! you can't just 'give' them a trophy you have to win them, and win them against much better, stronger, richer clubs than ours !!!

Why is it so hard for people to grasp that our club isn't able to compete with the bigger clubs ? yes we have done well to match them on the field but until someone with enough money to buy Ken out and do it his/her way and 'give' trophies out then we will always have to do things on the cheap as we cannot afford to splash cash we don't have on world class players/world class marketing/world class coaching etc....how many of you lot demanding of the club can afford to shop at Harrods ? if people insisted you did would you do it just because they wanted you to even though it would probably finish you off financially ?.

Harsh as it may sound if its regular trophies you want then you are probably watching the wrong club, we WILL win them sometime but if you're not prepared to wait then maybe Headingley/DW stadium with their world class everything is more suited to you rather than Huddersfield.

Every single one of us be it older fans, newer fans, casual fans. staunch supporters, final day trippers wants to us to be a rich, successful club, but this is Rugby League and it cannot just be bought it has to be earned, and for a club like us it will take longer to earn than clubs who are already rich and successful.
Whether people who demand trophies like that or not it is not relevant, that's the truth of our situation.

im sure i read in Robbie's book that he and other members of the marketing team had some good idea's but couldn't put them in motion because of the financial restraints, but i could be wrong.
