[quote="BP1":1n9dc9gh]As for the Sneyd situation, I'm really not sure. They always say 'never go back' and that might be the case here. I guess it would depend on what type of deal was thrashed out between player and club, but I can't imagine Sneyd would sign for only twelve months and on the cheap, and we certainly don't want to be investing too heavily in a player in his mid-thirties. I'm not sure there would be enough common ground to make this work satisfactorily for both sides. Plus a half back combination of Sezer & Sneyd doesn't look ideal, possibly too similar in style to be effective, especially given we're hardly blessed with pace across the back division. Although I'm not sure what our ideal line-up would be, given the current squad personnel. These are the kinds of decisions that Myler/Cartwright have to get right if we are to progress forward over the next 12/24 months. I would also hate for Sneyd to come back, in all the wrong circumstances, and bomb out. The guy played such a massive part in arguably the two greatest afternoon's in the club's entire history, that I would hate to see that tarnished in any way. Let's not forget that when he left us there was a general feeling that the time was right to part ways. I'm not sure what we could offer him at this stage in his career, apart from one last healthy pay day, which might not necessarily suit our purposes. I'll be surprised if this one comes off, but RL is such an incestuous sport you never know.[/quote:1n9dc9gh] Sneyd was below par in 2021 (along with most of the team) and it feels like a lifetime ago now but the team had gone from 80mins from the Grand Final to 8th which felt shocking at the time (oh if only we knew that wasn't rock bottom ) so yes I was in the mood for changes at the time and on paper former man of steel Gale fitted the bill...Hodgson also thought Connor could be the man to lead us around... What is noticeable though is how much fitter Sneyd looks at Salford, it's been well documented how poor and fitness has been the last few years. I agree with others that ideally he needs a runner with him though, he and Albert were an ideal combo.

[quote="DSJ1983":hc1ip16u]I’ve seen a few people say they don’t think Huddersfield will move back if they move to Halifax temporarily. I don’t know what people are basing that on but I think Davy will build a new purpose built ground for Huddersfield regardless if it makes financial sense or not. They’ll play in Halifax for a couple of years and move into the new ground that he’ll eventually leave to the club and supporters. His dedication to that club is beyond anything else.[/quote:hc1ip16u] Fair play to him but he could let supporters in for nowt and they'd still struggle to get 6000. Even in 2013 when they finished top they had some terrible attendances.

He has been let down by the Huddersfield fans who historically withdrew their support when they moved from FARTOWN thus the years of that name being chanted at games. However I think folks in the know over there are basing it on a general consensus in local Government circles in West Yorkshire that even if the new ground project could be funded OK, the actual logistics of getting a site in Huddersfield, cleansing it, securing planning permission, community involvement and consultation traffic management plans etc is a massive obstacle. Remember when we started the KCom plan it was built by a local authority which was the planning authority on Council owned land in an approved 'Greenfield' development area in a park on an already approved sporting stadium reserved for recreation use. Even with all that it took around four years to get it done ( quite a pit of the spade work feasibility studies etc. was done even before it was announced) and there were many objections from the local community. I guess too the fact that Huddersfield haven't identified a site yet and want to buy the stadium at Halifax rather than lease it is also sending hares running. It will p*ss the Huddersfield fans off even more, it would me, but from an outsider looking in the Halifax solution (with them struggling for finance and playing in an aging stadium playing surface wise) with the size of the Shay would suit everyone including both clubs IMG ratings.

Hence his unwavering loyalty. Think this is solely about IMG points. Buy The Shay and make sure the advertising boards, gantry length and scoreboard pixel definitions meet all the criteria. Also 4,000 fans in a 10,000 ground scores more utilisation points than the same crowd in a 24,000 ground. On a personal front, I think The Shay will be a better away day experience.
