are the club being compensated ?? may have sold corperate boxes for hull fc game... not as many hull fans will be coming on a thursday either now with work the next day.

wonder if the fans can get a refund on two tickets...

is this going to happen everytime the giants play a day before the football club??

how many games have been cancelled due to the pitch being a mess since 1994 when the two clubs shared the ground?

this is setting a worrying precedent for the future..

nevermind, i hear if town go up they will pay for a new stadium at fartown just for the giants of put a another pitch on the kilner bank so we can have a pitch like batley on a slope

That went well then UTT

Hope so, seems such a waste that all that effort and time and money put into promoting the season tickets by the club and fans and gaining new fans could be seem to wasted straight away as we seemingly bow down to a football club who have decided to start throwing their weight around as they are having their 1st good season in a generation !!.

If they are all of a sudden not happy with a groundshare with us then maybe they should help fund a new ground for us - or failing that get on with what hasn't been a problem foe them for 20+ years !!!

this is why we should play on a sunday home games

As a fan of both clubs, I'd love to take the approach my mother used to do with my brother and I as kids and bang our heads together

(she didn't actually do that, but it was always the threat!)

I know someone who works quite high up in the football side of things and have heard a few things from the other side which are shocking as well. It's time both sets moved on from it... Town got their shares back, and Ken got back every penny he put into the football club plus interest. It's really time to knock this crap on the head... Both clubs would benefit from a 1 Town, 1 group mentality and it's good to see the Giants reaching out (mainly the season card offer which offered £20 towards the Town Foundation) - I hope my football team can now reciprocate this in the summer and encourage football fans to get behind my rugby club, because this petty sniping both ways is incredibly counter productive.

On the subject of the football - the pitch was as bobbly as fook yesterday. It's a fact that football ruins the field more so than rugby, so if Town play their u23's at the stadium again this season I shall be asking big questions!

but as our MD explained recently staying to sunday games wasnt doing anything to improve crowds.

prior to last season we had the best home record of any sl team yet still crowds didnt go up.

was time for change, just a shame it seems the football club are trying to put a mockers on it all of a sudden

I agree with Eorls Blowse, there is nothing to gain by whinging, KD has agreed to this so that's that, We may not like it but there's nothing to be done. If it comes to a measuring contest Town win on every count, They have a bigger share of the stadium , bigger crowds, more money and more clout, and as we all know Soccer is king so they will always get priority. Even the Mighty Wigan have to change game times , or play at other grounds when they are told to, so It's not just us. Easier and better to co-operate i reckon.

i think they have been forced rather than agreed to this from what ive read the club are fuming over it.

but seems we cant do much about it.

wonder if we missed out being onb sky tv too for that friday game v hull fc... we arent being shown over easter... dont the club get money from sky for being shown on tv for single games out of the initial money given from skysports?

What have you read and where?

So home games are 1 on Sunday, 1 on Monday, 1 on Wednesday, 3 on Thursday and 5 on Friday.

Friday night is Giants night sounds a bit hollow.

Hey ho, at least this Friday is Giants night. Albeit 50 miles away.

l thought that the stadium was run by KSDL, not Town, all parties are minority share holders, no individual entity should be able to dictate terms, l think HGSA /l,m a long standing member) should make a statement about this.

40% town

40% ksdl

20% giants

its the reason for moving the games thats the issue, not even a fixture clash!

40 % town 40% kirklees council 20% giants . We where need to get a grant from sports England to build the place. not many years ago when we last had a bad winter town where training on the pitch with the heating on mad a wright mess . when we go there there is a gig sign keep of the grass.

.

No problem in a sense with moving games if needed but there are two professional clubs using the stadium.

If the pitch is the issue then it should be protected by limited training time / not letting reserves play in it.

not been needed since 1994 when both clubs moved in, suddenly it is



maybe they didnt like us playing two home pre season friendlies this year

It amazes me all this hate between both clubs. At the end of the day it's only going to effect one of the clubs in attracting fans to come to games and that isn't Huddersfield Town....

I think it's a minority of both sets of fans personally. As usual these people usually shout loudest so it makes it appear worse than it is.

I can't comprehend why anyone born and bred in the town would want to see anything which contributes both socially and economically fail

get on with it it is what it is for me i support both and will continue in doing so no matter when the fixtures are.

Exactly.

The Town fans who're slightly snarkier towards The Giants do tend to come from the HW district areas however... Although, I do find it bizarre that someone from somewhere in Huddersfield such as Dalton or Sheepridge could wish any ill on either of their home town teams - it's just a bizarre situation.
