That's interesting to see your perspective on that.
BUT I'd also say, whether it was the RL or Huddersfield themselves, or a particular person like Davey or Smith that changed things.....one thing is certain they have definitely changed.

Huddersfield is constantly quoted as having a professional and good quality set up. That was not built on history of success with club and youngsters like Leeds, Wigan and Saints, it had to be created.
I hope we do something similar.

Ken Davy had a hell of a lot to do with it off the field as he financed the team in the NFP season when we did go down - and also the 1st stint we had in super league, and Tony smith was the coach who got the winning mentality back into our club.
Ironic really cos the year we did go down was the best we'd had performance wise and a lot of peoplw said at the time we were actually too good to go down when we did .

you guys are going through a similar thing to us IE rebuilding the club from the bottom...it does take time but is a lot more appreciated when it does come good !!

Think if shudders has a local rival as we have with Cas it should be Halifax, Calderdale and Kirkless seem to be rivals in all aspects

It is Halifax traditionally but we have been in seperate divisions for the best part of 35 years so not had much of a rivalry with them when we were crap they were doing ok and vice versa now !!

I just don’t get this pseudo rivalry with Huddersfield.

In recent years it’s been with Cas, simply because we’re both very mediocre, before that it was always Leeds.

Page after page of sniping with a club that’s as removed to us, as say Warrington.

Fact is, they have a better team than us, they have a better Coach than us, they have a richer backer than us, however, their Coach will soon be on his way, their team will fragment & their backer will die.

Hopefully, our squad will improve & Newmarket gets built, crowds improve & we don’t have to rely on a Sugar Daddy.

Harsh!

But true.

Will be interesting to see if the money carries on for long at Huddersfield. I am sure constant shelling out and no silverware to show for it will take it toll at some point. Wasn't Glover persuaded to buy us by his Daughters? If so if he decides to take a back step they would like to carry on the good work he's been doing (but this is well down the track of course)

to say most wakey fans dont treat us as rivals or indeed care about this fixture, there is a hell of a lot of bitterness still going on.
ATEOTD, all teams are rivals,on field rivals both wanting the 2 points.the fact that its usually huddersfield who have taken them from this fixture still grates with certain people on here.

however,as i said on our board, wakey seem to have the makings of a decent side this year and we could be about to enjoy some more closer games in the future.
lets hope the weather is nice for sunday as i usually enjoy my visits to the Emley ground

Anybody spotted an old friend yet on the VT or the Hudds board

Can't say
