Blackpool FC had to rearrange their fixtures to have away fixtures for first few weeks of their season as their ground wasn't ready. They worked with the FA to do so. Surely our sport's teams should be able to negotiate fixtures to suit ground needs prior to the start of the season.

Isn't there a game between Sheffield and Dewsbury (it may already have recently been played) where Bramall Lane and The Don Valley stadium aren't available and the new venue is a school playing field. Now that is wrong.

Both evil and genius. A sort of 'evil genius' if you will.

I've replyed before and got my head bitten off,if it wasn't for Huddersfield Town A.F.C giants wouldn't have existed.

I don't really know the history of it - did Ken Davey intervene to save the footie club and just pick up the Giants as part of the deal?

Thought Dean Hoyle owned Huddersfield Town?

Things like grass and stuff do tend to grow better/faster in the Spring and Summer than at other times of the year, so whilst we could look at the wider implications for the sport, we could also just accept that it's all down to grass growing when it grows best... i.e. now.

Agreed, can't see an issue with it.

It is quite a posh school with very good facilities. The pitch I presume they will be playing on is in an ampitheatre with seating round the ground - but even so, is it suitable for pro rugby? Hmmm, not in my view.

I heard a radio interview with Warren Jowett and he was complaining about the lack of facilities ie no dugouts, no turnstiles etc but he also stated that they had a bar but not a very big one
I don't know what kind of school it is, but the one I went to didn't have a bar - not even on the windows

…yes, but Rugby League will die because of things like this. Utter nonsense.

not quite a case of the Giants been kicked out !

rlits a full pitch replacement!!rl

Ken Davy has been the Giants chairman since 1996, HTFC were about to go out of business until Ken stepped in and bought them at the last minute (2003) as no other offers were recieved for the club !!, by doing this he basically saved the Galpharm Stadium as at the time the Giants alone couldn't afford the rent /upkeep of the stadium on there own.

So if it wasn't for Ken Davy the Giants might have not been around not Huddersfield town as per previous poster..?
