Is there a witch hunt going on at the moment?

Every day there seems to be letters slagging KD

yes.

HTFC oiks!

Another 3/4 in today

I find it funny how its the same person every week!

Who is this Marcus Middleton? Is he the fella that organised the demonstration earlier in the season?

Has he nothing better to do. The guy needs to wake up and realise that if KD didn’t put his money into the club he's be supporting another team as HTFC would no longer be in existence. This codswallop about other consortiums is a smoke screen. It never came to fruition! End of the day it was either KD or no club.

I think keeping hold of the HTFC shares is small reward for the sporting pride of huddersfield!

Love that statement.

Must be stay-at-home supporters coz I dont think town have had a 20,000plus attendance this year except perhaps the Leeds game where Leeds prob brought 5,000! (The Hudds v Leeds game attracted a crowd of 2092icon_cool.gif

In fact a quick look at the HTFC website shows there adv home attendance was 13350! Where are the 6650 additional fans?

Where have you been Lee??

This issue with KD has been going on ever since he took Town from the brink!! The examiner have just recently got on his back due to him missing or trying to reorganise a meeting there!!

Yes it could be deemed as suspicious that he refuses to answer questions on this but does he really have to keep answering as the answers are always the same and no one is listening to them anyway!

As I've put before these so called shares would've beentaken by anyone saving the club as they were an assett would they have returned them without asking for a sum of money, the fact that KD isn't says more for the way he wants to keep the sporting clubs existing than making a profit!!

20,000 Huddersfield Town fans? LOLaments!

next time they go bust (within 5 years is my guess) let ungrateful barstewards bail themselves out!

The next they go busy, whether it be 5, 10 or 25 years it will be Ken Davy's fault. Mark my words. He will get the blame.

Hoyle is a bit of an enigma in all this. I don't know how I should view his involvement (or lack of) in all this. On one hand, he's no mug. So do I deduce that by doing business with Davey this means he believes Davey is sound? On the other, what do we read into his silence regarding the shares situation? Is he keeping his nose out of something that doesn't concern him or that he's quietly agreeing with the unhappy Town fans?

Isn't he on the board of HSP?

My involvement with the examiner consists of the back 4 pages and then its bin material normally, only noticed it cos i was looking for something else in the paper

Court in brief???

Nah, i place that does DNA testing

Not having a go at Ken here but does HSP also own the Giants 20% of the stadium? i.e. if Ken ever left the Giants would he keep the Giants 20% the same as he's kept Town's 40%?
Must admit it's all a bit confusing to me and I aren't sure who owns what.

I think that is right. Apparently he did it as the stadium was losing money at the time and he felt that separating the clubs from the stadium would help protect the clubs. I think that was what happened, but it was a while ago so things may have got muddled in my head.

Stadium is part owned by HSPL (60%) and KMC (40%). This was originally 20%, 40%, 40% to Giants, HTAFC and KMC respectively.

KD wanted to isolate the debts of the stadium from the clubs so moved the shared into HSP limited (which was the old Huddersfield Giants Rugby League Limited company before a rename - this confused many people into thinking he gave the shares for Hudds Town to the Giants). This is a legitimate business practice and stops the rugby and football club being liable should the Stadium go bankrupt.

When he gave up Huddersfield Town to the new guy I am guessing the deal was he walked away but remained funding the club for a further two years in exchange for the shares in the stadium which remain in HSP. I am guessing they will have an option to purchase them back should they wish.

it would make me chuckle if Ken, now not tied to HTAFC turned round and said "fair enough, if you dont like the deal that kept HTAFC in business and alive, stop coming"



Mind, arent these the same fans that thought Ken was taking all the Terriers money to pay for the Giants?

Cheers for that. Still a bit guessing in there though.
