Why what was he doing?

Was it when someone said to JT "And who the hell are you?"

Credit to him though he goes to every game. Very loyal.

yeah that was it, and the correct quote is "how long you been watching trinity?"

and ill leave the what was he doing, its pointless, and actually he was being goaded on by both his wife and some hangers on.

and loyal to who, the team or his rather strange fan club??

sorry adam nothing against you but hes a berk!

he is very noisy and very vocal he reminds me if anyone has ever seen football away days theres an old bloke who follows burnley and is noisy as hell one match he was shouting ATTACK ATTACK ATTACK for ages and the man in front of him turned round and said I WISH YOUD HAVE A F*CKING ATTACK classic

Loyal to the club, goes to every game no matter what.

Hes a sound bloke if you talk to him although after a few beers he may get carried away a little.

I just question why he goes.
i know the blind community very well and have done all my life, usually when attending a sporting event they will have a seeing talker, ie someone who describes the game to them, the field position etc, frankly he doesnt come for that, he comes for being freddie the loud blind guy.

and he has a strange group of hangers on, who incite him.

in short adam, your patronising him because hes blind and frankly you may need to accept people with disabilities can be s too!

Well he is not fully blind, partially blind I think the term is. Hence why he takes a special sort of binoculars to the games so he can see what’s going on.

Certainly not patronising him, but he is not as bad as what people make out imo

ok fair enough
you obviously know him and like him.

not having a go at you in any way , but frankly the france thing wasnt isoloated.

anyway, if you do know him , tell him to calm it!

and if you do know him, you know what i mean.

actually all this has just reminded me how much i loved the old fartown setup saw some amazing rugby there

and saw the best ever performance by 2 opening batsmen in cricket when hampshire were there and ther openers were gordon greenidge and barry richards!

great place, hate the new one though!

It's a absolute nightmare to play cricket on.

My favourite Huddersfield memories are Cockney Giant's scoreline predictions over the last 2 seasons. My real Huddersfield memories are similar to my Dewsbury memories when my dad took me to games as a kid - no matter what you do, you will lose....

I would be interested to know if anybody else went to this match because there were not too many brave souls at Belle Vue on a freezing cold night in 1979. The pitch was white over Huddersfield won a dire struggle 3 2 I have never being so cold at a Rugby league match
I also have memories of our first season down in division 2 on new years day 1983 when we went to Fartown for a game we were expected to win easily in the end Trinity grinded out a 9 13 win with Mike Lampowski crossing twice

is that the one where Geoff grayson was 40?

No Geoff was at Featherstone when he turned 40 think he left Dewsbury in 78/79 and was still a great player at Bradford in 83

Last year walk to Hudds when we were all standing ready for a photo shoot outside the stadium when out of knowhere came the legend himself TOPO David Topliss asking me what we had just done & congratulated us on the walk for Charity and then said can i have my Picture with you lot i said humbly yes please & then only for fate to take him away from us weeks later very sad indeed

funniest thing (could be debated actually) id the mascot race....Big G gets murdered every single time by the wakey mascot! am sure he's on steroids or something

Bump!

Got to write up later tonight. Any last thoughts - thought there would be a few more wishing to say something about our 'rivalry'!

if you have around im sure someone with a east London twang will post something quite memorable
