As a Huddersfield fan of over 20 years, and coming from a time when we were far and away the worst team in the whole country and a club in turmoil, can i just say for me personally and i'm sure most giants fans and the Huddersfield club will agree it is an honour to be the last opponents at your famous old ground !!.
A ground i could have only dreamt about visiting in my first 10 years of watching Huddersfield and one i used to see regularly on TV and when i 1st visited knew my club had 'made it' !!

Hopefully it should be a cracking game and i obviously would love us to spoil your party and close the famous old ground of yours by making it to the grand final, either way i will look forward to the game and the occasion.
See ya friday !!

Probably the best post this forum has seen in a long time.

Its more than a pleasure.

A great post ! I'm sure the true supporters will make you feel welcome , and lets hope it's a cracking game and cracking atmosphere, A safe journey to all your supporters !!

agree with everything giant daz says there!! i cant wait for friday. see you then!!

I did want Wigan, but it's also nice to have the team from the birthplace of our sport at our final game in our historic home

What a great post, good on ya pal.

Well, apart from the bit where you want to spoil the party



Have a safe trip over.

Cheers! Whichever of us gets through, here's hoping Leeds and Wigan have belted each other to a pulp in the other game.

Post of the Month!!!

Totally agree with Giant Daz. Might even pinch some turf after the game to flog on ebay


A little something I've made to get our fans up for the game if they already aren't.

Fitting Finale to Knowsley Road, we will be expecting a really tough game.

am i right in saying we are the 2 form teams at the moment having both won our last 7 games?

and in our last 7 games they include wins away at warrington and wigan so for me that sets up a really good tie here at knowsly road and one of which i am proud to say i will be there win or lose!!!

see yal there and may the best team win!

Promises to be a cracker. Saints will be favourites because of home advantage and the 'end of an era' stuff, but I can see there being nothing in it on the day.

Bring it on.

That'll be £10 please

Great post, used to visit Fartown with Saints many years ago, Lionel Cooper what a player, Ramsdale 1953 and all that!!
What a wonderful finale, the Town where League was born, bringing down the curtain where so many great players have graced the pitch.

Hope you bring plenty to enjoy the evening, should be a cracker. Great post Daz

Shame we cant have one more battle at the old ground, but meeting you lot in Manchester would be great and really start the signal the return of the greatest derby in RL after years of us decided we wanted to play mid table rugby league

i remember my first visit to knowsley road in 1992 regal trophy, we were a decent 2nd division side but had absolutely no chance of beating saints but we came anyway and did ourselves proud "only" losing 44-12(iirc) but it was a fantastic night and one us fartowners could only dream of, to think then that 18 years later we would be going to knowsley road for the last time,ever,for any of us,for a plac e in the grand final would have seen you locked up in a straightjacket! but it's going to happen and i can't wait to be a part of it, i've seen far too many wallopings over the last 12 or so years so would you do us the honour of letting us win for once in most of our lifetimes


seriously,it will be an emotional night all round, not just for the saints fans but for us long suffering fartown fans who were there on that rainy night in 1992.im sure both sets of supporters will have the old girl rocking one last time!!

At the end of the day having Huddersfield to help us bring down the curtain at Knowsley Road is a fitting tribute to the old girl. Huddersfield is the birthplace of where our game was born and for them to be present on such an occasion as the last competetive first team game is right and proper. It couldn't have worked out better in my eyes.

Knowsley Road is an iconic ground, but if Hull KR would have come, they could have demolished it for free...

good job they haven't seen this !

The final elimination semi is a great way for KR to end life. I am already choking up after reading the posts already on here. Maybe the Giants fans do not have the quantity of supporters they would like but they certainly possess some quality.

Win or lose on Friday there will be a tear in my eye and a lump in my throat when I leave the stadium tomorrow after the game. May the best team win and lets hope its a terrific game.

No party spoiling please, if you win you have to buy me a pint in the black bull ok, thats the deal. If we win, you still have to buy me a pint... Enjoy the game,a nd make sure you get over the M62 safely, its a motorway that seems to have stopped many many many thousands of yarkshire fans from getting to KR over the years... get all yer pals and neighbours buzzing about the game, bring them over. Your team deserves your support !
