And that’s sexism for you.....

I do forget that some wit is above the intelligence of many.

Shame about the wasted effort put in by the club to go round businesses in and around Huddersfield giving away hundreds of tickets then the team putting in that kind of performance or lack of one, not one of those who got a "freeby" will be willing to part with their hard earned money to watch the Giants again. Apart from 10 minutes we were never anywhere near to Leeds and they just strolled tries in at will, toying with us at times. We had absolutely no idea in attack, defence or organisation. 80 minutes of rugby and we managed to get the ball to Mcgilvary once and that was a forward pass. I watched the game with a Town fan and even he was screaming at the tele to get the ball wider and stop the predictable drive up the middle. Don't know where we'll go from here but on a positive note it can only be upwards. Several of our players need to really have a look at themselves and ask f they're up to the job.

Anyone else wake up the following morning to the awards evening sales email?

Should have delayed it 48 hours or at a week in my opinion. Or at least have positioned it very differently.

Average , pre- planned , amateur marketing once again by the Giants.

That wont have been sent Saturday morning. It will have been set up to go out at a set time and date after making the assumption that there will have been thousands extra at the game and a good time had by all!

they put a tweet out and facebook post after the leeds match





clueless

even you cant be bothered to go to the game so no maybe they wont

I'm obviously in a minority here but I didn't see a lack of effort just skill. The lads did their best but were poor on the night. Our job as supporters is to get behind them not shoot them down.

Anybody who has played sport will know that sometimes it 'clicks' and sometimes it doesn't.

COYG

Do you know he "couldnt be bothered" to go ------------or maybe HIS personal circumstances made it difficult or impossible for him/her to make it ?

If you do ---fine
Make your usual dig about other supporters!
If not take your sanctimonious halo off until you do
Goodness knows why KEN flew Simon and his family all the way from Australia when he could have hired Rugby Leagues messiah for the cost of a metro bus pass
(Was gonna attach a smiley but you seem to have used em all up dishing others opinions since Friday)
Oh no ........found one!

Well i for one don't see it as a job, I go to be entertained and have been doing so for a long time, If your inclined to feel sorry for them that's up to you , from my point of view they are paid to entertain us not depress us.

If you see yourself as a customer thats fine. I would want a stronger relationship than that and thats why I choose to be a supporter.

Who mentioned feeling sorry for the players?

English please, or a new keyboard needed

Away on holidays Popeye, sorry to disappoint you.

Rugby league is a business like any other in the entertainment world, I would suggest that the Giants crowds are so poor because a lot of people don't feel they get value for their money, and with due respect you were the one who said it was our job, It's not our job , it's our choice whether we want to go or not,

I do however respect your point of view , you are entitled to it and no you didn't mention feeling sorry for them,but you certainly sounded like you were trying to excuse them for that abysmal showing.

No probs pal If you're struggling- will send Matty round with one!

Good post rodders

I'm with you. It's a sports entertainment business. If the product is dire I won't be coming. With so many competing entertainment options that's modern life.

JJ I fully accept your right to criticise, challenge or contradict what I write. I absolutely object to you criticising what you think I think, that's just plain wrong.

On the subject of our job as 'supporters' I stand by my original post - maybe I should have said our 'role' but the principle remains the same. A person who supports something / somebody should be helping them in whatever way they can, the clue is in the word.

I also accept your wider point about being in the entertainment business and everybody has a right to stop coming to games

I have been reading this forum for a few years now and finally decided to start posting as I thought the forum might benefit from a few positive postings but maybe I got that wrong.

most people left this forum wood1 due to the constant attacks on positive posts i was same and signed up after reading for years to try and be a bit other way problem is theres only really 3 or 4 who post on here before there were loads but they all got shoved away over time

And them 3 or 4 could, individually, start an argument in a telephone box with the speaking clock. It's the same with most forum's the "warriors" drive away the rest with their constant negativity. At least our "warriors" are top notch and could teach our Giant's a thing or two about tenacity and keeping going when they know they've lost a cause.

going on holiday is not allowed blobby

Well i don't see we have a job or a role to play or anything else you care to call it, But i don't dispute your right to feel that's your part to play, Myself i buy my ticket and that's me done as far as helping them goes, Iv'e bought a fair few shirts over the years if that counts but it's up to the team and the club to perform, If they don't then people won't go in any worthwhile numbers Simple as.
If they can't put on a better show than they did against Leeds " a poor side " when they are fighting for their jobs then i don't see how me " getting behind them " is going to make the difference, I would have thought that trying to keep their job and repay Mr Davy a bit would be incentive enough,

When they put on the odd good performance I am as quick as anyone to give them credit, when they play like that i refuse to start making excuses for them, I know they have been unlucky with injuries but so have every other club, but all that said i think the problems start higher than on the field, Otherwise we wouldn't be such a poor side year after year despite frequent changes of coaches and imports.

We can agree to disagree , you have your opinion i have mine , that's what the forum is about

Hey up Grand which cause would that be, and i hate that clock

That’s it JJ- most people go to be entertained, there are a handful who will turn up no matter what dross is served up but the majority won’t go if that’s the case.... which is why numbers are falling in recent times.
Take my kids for instance, both three weeks old when they went to their first game, one has been once in the last six games because they don’t feel like they are being entertained and don’t want to go every week to see us lose. They have things to do they find more entertaining to them. The other had been using that spare ticket to bring a mate, who didn’t come Friday as ...guess what....
I imagine just a handful will turn up to Salford, - who’s going to pay £100 for the family to go when they can go to the cinema and a Nando’s instead where they know they will most likely be entertained. And likely the “supporters” will take umbrage with people like that and people like you who may not go, whilst completely missing the irony.

Drag em kicking and screaming like I have done over the years, they will resent you for the rest of their lives with the emergence of their beer bellies, and the relentless heartache, but when you have done all this, you will be a man my son.

Wow! Who'd have thought a simple suggestion that we get behind the lads could cause such controversy.

Obviously positive posts are not appreciated.

JJ you seem a reasonable person so I am happy to agree to differ with you, I didn't come on here for an argument. If I may offer a word of advice perhaps you should confine your comments to what is written and not make judgements about what you think the other person is thinking.

I was seriously considering leaving the forum after this but have decided to try one more time to lift the tone a bit. See the PSP thread.

Cheers
