He hasn't missed anything he's been invited to.

good piece on mcgillvary in the supporter column in the examiner, regarding comments he made,more of the same please for fans , maybe on this next forum that is coming up

Thanks for that.

Why not come along and hear the guests in person - same for the Fans Forum.

Some comments that are made we are asked to not repeat - whether people not at the meetings like that or not!

ALL our meetings are open to EVERYONE. They are free to HGSA members and visitors are asked to pay £1.

I'm about to update the [url=http://www.GiantsSupporters.co.ukwebsite[/url with the next 6 months-worth of guests so have a browse.

the column in todays examiner not so interesting



well unless your interested in the heritage thing

...............and clearly you aint Brearley

Without that you wouldn`t be watching a RL founder club with such a fantastic legacy --but each to his own eh?

Michael Lawrence has now been added to the guest panel for this.

What a brilliant turnout - standing room only !!!
thanks to everyone who came and bought raffle tickets/membership/Heritage stuff etc, thought it was an excellent evening with some great guests and great questions, which were all answered very honestly!!

First one I've been to. Thought it was excellent.

Rick has a real clear direction and talked sense - think he will be great for us.

Pleased to see so many there and very impressed with Rick. He seems very level headed, clear on what he wants from the squad, and aware of the constraints of finance that he needs to work with. Very respectful of previous regime when it would have been very easy for him to criticise our poor season gone. Seems he is prepared to see how it goes first couple of games and happy enough with the squad and cover in most positions. Most happy to hear him give positive raps to the younger guys in the squad and those just joined and hoping that he will give those deserving a shot. These friendlies are the chance for the young guys to stake a claim.

Been to lots of these forums before but this one was much better than most thanks to the honesty, humility and common sense responses to questions. Good questions asked too ' not too negative either that would have been an easy trap to fall into.

Won a raffle prize too happy days!!!

Congrats - was it a early prize or a later one

?

Thing is with these events - and indeed the monthly meetings, people come away having heard stuff a lot more positive and are often quite surprised how down to earth and honest the people within the club are....it's easy to sit behind a computer and complain/whine/criticise etc but when you here these people speak it does make you think that maybe things aren't that bad.

Must also say a positive word about Richard Thewlis, he gets some stick at times, some maybe justified, some not but i thought he was very open and honest and didn't try and deflect or get out of answering questions, like he said it's easier to tell the truth than to lie and i think he needs praising for the way he answered them....as all the guests did !!

1500 season tickets gone to new fans , thats positive, hope we can keep them now!

switch to friday night explained abit more, sticking to sundays was not going anywhere for attendances. we had the best home record for 3 season prior to last year, hope we build that fortress again now, really disappointing to get turned over at home last year.

not many pay on the day according to thewlis so no point lowering the price for that

Pay on the day will only increase if we are having a successful season but then as they package matches together now most floating supporters will take up on them.

The away support has dropped off in recent seasons albeit when ours has marginally increased and definitely got louder.
