It's always been a load of tosh about the Rugby churning the pitch up. If you look at the pitch, which are the main areas which are damaged? Goal mouth and centre circle. Was the pitch in brilliant condition before the rugby started? Hell no, it was already looking poor.

We do the same if not less damage than the football imo.

Cant see it happening but i would love it too happen, 14,000 would be perfect.

speaking to the groundsman recently and he states definately the football causes more problems for the pitch than the rugby, me personally i like the galpharm and dont think its too big, we need to work harder to fill it.

It is definitely Town that spoil the pitch. I have taken particular notice for the last three years, at the end of our playing season around September / October time the pitch looks absolutely perfect. But on the other hand, come the start of our season about March there are quite a lot of bare patches about.
It is about time Town supporters shut up or move out themselves.

Rugby is a summer sport. Grass grows in the summer. Vis-a-vis.

Giants play 13 league home games
Football play 23 league home games

Football is about kicking sods out of the grass, rugby is about lying on it for a few seconds

Football pah, overpaid ponses

Town will never have the stadium to themselves, our council are large shareholders and they would never allow it!! It's a community stadium. And for this to change sir Dean would have to stump up an awful lot! Theres bigger chance of Town relocating than the Giants!!

Some Town fans were even accusing the Giants for them conceeding a penalty last saturday as the pitch had been ruined the previous night by the Giants! They're short sighted bigots!!!

I don't think DH would do that though. ATEOTD he's not daft and I don't think his aspirations are to get HTFC to the Premier League; the Championship will do for him. At least until football changes it's ways so it's not a money swallowing beast with two backs.

kick them out,we are the pride of sporting huddersfield not them!

There is and it will cause real problems for the Giants. Currently the ground is owned 40% Kirklees 60% Ken Davy. Hoyle and Davy have agreed a deal that would take it back to the original ownership of 40% Kirklees, 40% Town and 20% Giants. However, Kirklees have been stalling over agreeing the transfer of shares for about 18 months now. If the deal doesn't happen Hoyle has stated that he'll build a new ground for Town. If that happened the Giants would be screwed. You'll all now come out with the usual Bulls fan jealous garbage but face facts a club that plays 13 home games a season (compared to Town's 23) in front of what an average of 7000/8000 (compared to Town's 14000ish) that already loses money can't carry on a) in a ground like that and b) not paying it's way. That ground is a millstone around Ken Davy and the Giant's neck and if Town were to leave all the hard work by the club and the fans to build one of the top teams in the country would be for nothing.

The way you lot talk about town is no different to the way a lot of town fans talk about you.

Build a new ground, yeah suppose the council will grant him planning permission

Yeah I know it's the council digging their heals in this share deal, but I can't say I blame them after giving Town a massive loan to save them from going bust!!! I also know that the Giants would also be screwed if Town ever relocated, but the question was should the Giants look for their own place? Also it isn't the Giants hampering this share deal is it and yet the Town fans are blaming Ken Davy for stalling it!

I know theres a lot of Town haters on here but just read Towns forum! Theres also no resentment of Town sharing the stadium whereas there certainly is from a lot of Town fans! A minority granted but still a lot!! I would say a majority of Giants fans really appreciate their home, yes they may not like the emptiness, but it's 20 years since they left Fartown where the crowds were not exactly large!!

For Dean Hoyle to relocate Town it would be cutting off his nose to spite his face tbh!! Plus where exactly could they relocate in Huddersfield? Just look at the outcry of our council giving Tesco's permission to tear down their delapidated 60's built supermarket and relocate to the bottom of northumberland street!!! Yet our council are pretty much behind the times dilly dally on every planning application!!

Yes I know but without Town the ground can't opeerate as it does now. The fact that Town fans blame Davy is just shortsighted really. Successful Town and Giants teams are important for raising the profile of the Town so the Council need to consider the damage that would be done should this situation carry on.



I'm a Town fan and as you can guess I support another Rugby league team to the Giants. But I get sick of having to correct my fellow terriers on some of the ignorant garbage I have to listen to sometimes. The worst was when Davy owned both clubs (which was really stupid considering he saved Town from going out of business). When you've had to explain the salary cap in reply to the comment "How can he afford a top flight Rugby league team and then claim he's putting everything he can into Town?" for the 50 millionth time it starts to get a bit boring. Especially when you don't even support Giants. So I know where you are coming from. It's the same in Bradford most people like to see both clubs in a good position but you get people on both sides who seem to gain pleasure from seeing the other team doing badly and again the animosity seems to centre around where each team plays. Also like Hudds the BCFC forum is a lot worse.




Lindley Moor they're planning on building everything else up there.

l.m no expert. but as far as l know you cannot simply walk away from your responsibilities. unless you go into liquidation.even then the shares would be up for sale. so Town. or the Giants could in effect build their own stadium but they would still be responsible for their share of the Galpharm. both maintainance. and profits/losses until a buyer was found.
