Brearley, I see you are still making things up to suit your agenda, and can I remind you it was you that suggested they might switch the venue, I merely gave a good reason why ![Very Happy icon_biggrin.gif](images/smilies//icon_biggrin.gif)

It's not like I'm bothered for their sake but singing songs to the Huddersfield fans at a game saying they are poorly attended is a bit nonsensical to me. They at poorly supported compared to the investment and the stadium size, but the guys that are there you are singing at, are actually the good ones who attend and support their team. They actually deserve a round of applause.
You'd be better off going in to the pubs in Huddersfield and singing to them as they are the ones causing the issue by not coming to the game.
Anyway, just thought I'd get that off my chest
spot on PT - all of it.

A lot of the stuff with the Giants seems to stem back to the perceived protection that they were given all those years ago and the subsequent "merger" with Sheffield, who's place they effectively took in SL (we're all still waiting for them to play some games in Sheffield as part of the deal).
Add to this they way thet they behaved when we were in the mire a few seasons ago, when they raped and pillaged our squad.
Fans will always look for something to have a pop about with the opposition of the day and let's face it, they certainly have a better ground, albeit, just a tad too big for RL.
I get your point about going round the pubs of Huddersfield but, we ought to start that one a little closer to home.
Also, when its there to be flung, the mud goes in both directions

Don't forget the underhand way they were originally promoted to Super League too.

| Good news that we've avoided the T V. Hopefully, a few more fans will get off their backsides and support the boys at the game.

Also don't forget they finished bottom of the league and we're not relegated multiple times
It's great to see huddersfield fans getting what they deserve over the last few seasons, they are terrible
True SL fans will never forget the merger no matter how often the hardcore 27 fans including the pan chant fartown, very few other team opposition fans were as abusive towards wakefield fans on here as the shudds lot when they were doing well
Something I will not forget, it makes me laugh they are no where to be seen now
All being well they will get relegated and then the few fans they do will have something to actually moan about

Not decided yet, but my money would be on Friday 11th May as Town play Arsenal at home on the Sunday (or swap the fixture to BV?)

Don`t the FA have a 48 hour pitch rule? Meaning that even if it was played on Friday night then it still would not be allowed. So looks like either Thursday night or it will be played at BV.

But we play on the Sunday before, good chance this will be held at BV?

Good point! We would be mad to agree to playing on the Thursday.

we did get relegated in the end though and served our punishment and won promotion.
those years finishing bottom of the league damaged the club no end, we lost a generation of fans..not many 20/30yr olds come watch the giants, they were lost, it wasnt good watching the team get thrashed every week believe me!
i could throw back at wakefield that they have been done favours by the rfl in recent times with the stadium not being upto sl standard so shouldnt have been given a license.
players come and go from clubs its just the way it is, wakefield havent done so bad from us in recent times.. kirmond, grix, huby , wood etc
we have a really good academy nowadays and are producing our own which we have done for a while now crabtree, mcgillvary, cudjoe, lawrence, jake connor, leeming, mcintosh and more in the pipe line (two 17yr old twins played the other week).
giants doing it tough right now and competing with a thriving football club but things will change again... be a few years but we have had some good recent times with two cup finals, few years of semi final play offs and a league leaders shield.. wakefield cant still only dream of these.

Whilst I understand your post, I do have to take issue when you talk about players coming and going between the 2 clubs.
However, there is a world of difference in players moving clubs in the open market and the likes of Huddersfield "working with the administrator" and getting players on the cheap.
In fact, some were so cheap that it could be argued that you club helped make the hole deeper for Wakefield.
As far as the license went, Trinity only survived due to Crusaders withdrawing their application at the very last minute and we all know that Trinity may not have been alive at all, had they (Crusaders) found some cash.
The ground issue is well documented and right now, Trinity are "fined" around £200k per season for the state of their facilities (money withheld from their "share"icon_wink.gif
I'm not sure this helps one of the poorest clubs in the comp.
Given our record against Huddersfield in the SL era, you should be wanting Trinity to stay in the comp for as long as possible.
