Best game seen : probably the 30-0 win over Keightley in 1995

Worst game seen : way too many in the early days, but in SL era i would say the 86-6 mauling at Headingley in 1999(?)

No one else gonna bother then ??

1st Fartown game : sometime around 1977
Favourite Current Player : Fooey
Favourite All time player : Wally Gibson.
Favourite Away trip : Batley for sentimental reasons lol
Best moment watching Fartown : singing Abide with me at the 2 cup finals - this will only be beaten by watching us lift the cup. it used to be kick off of game one, season one in SL, 14k in the Galpharm and we were back.

Worst woment: The Merger.

Best game seen : Semi-final win over Leeds at Odsal.

Worst game seen : Too many to choose from our first stint in SL. But a dour midweek game against Quins at the Gapharm in miserable cold rain. Two terrible teams playing terribly in terrible weather and I wondered why the hell I was there. And we lost.

Work in the Ticket office but Applying to be a officer in the Royal Navy.
Family: only 18 so no Kids or owt.
Sit. 3/4 up in Britania rescue
First game, When we played Bradford in the First game in Super League.

Fav player: Robbo
All time: Brad Drew

best game: At wigan a fair few years ago when we came back to record our first win at the JJB.

Worst Moment: Getting smashed Harlequins away a few years back, when we got nilled.

Name : Raaaaymond (honest)

Rest of info about me classified 'cos I believe I'm being watched by MI5, MI6, FBI, and MOSSAD. I have no facepage, twitter, beebo or my space and I try to live 'Off Grid'. But, RL pulls me in. You can have my IP address.

Earliest game : Sometime in the sixties with mom and dad. Well, actually running about on the terrace at Fartown. Wouldn't be allowed today for health and safety reasons, just how did we manage to survive?

Best games : Beating Saints at the HJ couple of years back. AND the Keighley game, not often we ran on the pitch but we did that day. Winning CC in 2011?

Worst games : Yep, got to be the drubbing at Headingley, or C.C. loss at Hunslet when we were way out of their league.

( don't think Martin Gleason was playing for us then, and Sean Long defo wasn't

).

Best moments : Wire fans on road and on bridge with signs congratulating us on CC semi win over Saints. Wigan fans coming over to shake hands and tell us what great supporters we were for chanting all through the game when we lost 70-0 I think score was at Central Park and Swinton fans on pitch after game, thanking us for coming to final game at Station Road. And, I got a strange feeling of superiority when we were bottom of Superleague for 4 years running and other clubs fans couldn't understand how we could watch them lose every week. It was almost a shame when we won a game, it was like an elite club.

Fav away Ground : Wire, Great atmosphere 'cos you can stand up.

Worst away ground : Ha Ha Ha, need you ask? [size=50Wakey[/size

Fav players : Wally Gibson, Dean Hanger and Arnold (terminator) Lomax, His hands were like shovels.

Funniest moment : Bloke (to protect his name) falling through toilet roof at Cas



Deserving of special mention : Ken Davy = God. And special thanks to Alex Murphy after whom I named my son. A legend who awakened this sleeping Giant.

1st Fartown game :
When Danny Russell first signed for the Giants he was sat in the Spotted Cow on his own and we got chatting, a few beers later we were in town with a few of the players - didnt know them from Adam! I then worked for Perrys and used to get free tickets and ended up bumping into him post match and put 2 and 2 together, ended up on a few post games nights out! Got back into Giants in 2006 when I ended up on here and decided to meet up pre-match with a lad called Smiler who used to Moderate the site and a few of the posters.

Favourite Current Player : Eorl, McGillvary
Favourite All time player : Brad Drew
Favourite Away trip : Warrington or Castleford! Both welcoming people and are happy to share a beer and a chat.
Best moment watching Fartown : The friends I have through rugby. Paul, Fiona, Graham, Andrew, Darren, Martin, Craig, Jonny, Dan and his family, Owen and maybe H. We've had some great laughs.
Worst moment: Sorting some lout out at Wakefield who thought it was fair game to push around an old guy who was supporting the Giants.
Best game seen : 2006 Semi Final v Leeds - We went thinking we would never win and as soon as the game kicked off and Peacock knocked on I thought we could win in - also it's the first (and last) time I've used Cockneys Clown hat as a beer holder and the slowest bus in the world getting back to Huddersfield with a full bladder.


Worst game seen : In 2008 we were nilled twice. Catalans and Quins away. I was at both games. I would put the 48-0 by Catalans higher than the 24-0 at Quins though!

Worst game seen : I think watching Huddersfield Warrington in the Cup this year.

that wasn't a fartown game

It sort of was.

EDIT: Give me a break, I was 5.

as a wire fan reading this, its nice to hear positive comments about our club and supporters, most of the time we just have wigan and saints fans calling us scum, ah well.

Favourite Current Player : Luke O'Donnell/Keith Mason
Favourite All time player : Steve Lyons
Favourite Away trip : Cas ( or any game against Wigan or Bradford when we win).
Best moment watching Fartown : Beating saints in the CC semi.

Worst woment: 10 minutes into the CC final at wembley. Wirescored off a knock on and we had a try turned down. At that point i said to the family it is not going to be our day. I hated Wembley and will never go back there again.

Best game seen : Beating Wigan 9 points to 8 circa 1981 when 6 players were sent off. Never did a team deserve to win a game more than that day. Wigan that day were a disgrace and were the dirtiest team i have ever seen play ( TBF RL at that time was just legalised thuggery).

Worst game seen : Any of the 50 , 60, 70 80 point maulings i have seen over the years.
