I was going to go but having heard of their penny pinching,mean spirited attitude we will do the same as their fans did until they started winning a few games and not bother going.

Haven't Huddersfield fans boycotted us for years now anyway?

But

If Bulls fans boycotted the game empty seats would necessarily stand out at Huddersfield as being out of the ordinary?

If true a very dissappointing move

Why boycott the game as this would be punishing our players in a way not being there to give our support to them.
Why don't we try turn up in our usual numbers, pay in on the gate but not purchase one item from the concession stalls inside the ground. We could all maybe refrain from entering the stadium until close to kick off time, this may cause panic for the stadium operators.
You may also wish to park at a location different to the stadium operators.
Can tickets be purchsed in advance from Huddersfield Giants? Yes we won't get the commision but it will ensure we pay the prepaid price rather than gate entry fee.

Why not?

Whenever I see a game at the Galpharm on Sky it looks like the Huddersfield fans have boycotted the game



(If that doesn't bring in the Huddersfield fans onto this thread....

)

Nope, turn up in numbers, sing like we did at wigan. Feck em. If we're going to go out of the league we should go screaming and kicking, not quietly into the night.

Support the lads and try to get into the end of season playoff party dispite the points deduction.

I would bet good money he has been as respectful of the Bulls as Caisley and Hood have been of the Giants.

first bite

Here is the second 'bite' numbnuts.



The away fans from the bulls has been nearer 1200 over the last couple of years (which is something the giants would love to be able to take to games) and the average £ per ticket will be closer to £10/11 taking into account concessions and free for u12s. But 12K is still a tidy sum.

Was told the Giants were holding onto tickets pending the RFL takeover at the request of the RFL. There is no reason the giants would not send advanced purchase tickets. But i suppose a nasty Ken Davy thread is what some posters need atm.

problem is cripes and you well know this - it is only past three years where they have really been interested in youth.

Eorl crabtree is a testament to hard work but he was quite big and very raw in his early career - took a long time to get to where he is now.

Tbf, the emergence of a Bradford Davy would cause jubilation on these boards right now. I wish a RL club could be sustainable at Odsal through people power alone but it would appear that is very much a dream for the foreseeable.

That was what I assumed when I read the subject matter.

well this is one of problems with their not been transparency with supposed teams wanting us out - i suspect giants are one of teams against would make sense a few fans of ours live closer to giants and with the pool of youngsters close enough to choose from hudds would not have to fight as hard as most youngsters would still sign for a super league club over a championship club.

really the support from most fans would appear to be other fans want us to stay - comments on boards and other fans talked to outside of grounds etc - why not let the fans of each club vote to decide rather than chairmen whom could hold grudges?

The giants have been interested in developing players for much longer. There are several good sl players who came through the giants. No where near as many as from the better established clubs. Recently they are getting better at player development.

Posters claiming we do stuff all in development are ignorant.

I agree that you do more than some people think but it has not always been their first priority. Like you say they are taking a bigger interest .... it is just when players are poached on bigger contracts from your own academy that it does get people thinking that you only poach not develop.

The likes of patrick who we had written off you have developed well but the likes of wardle - who i think would have played a lot more games for us had he stayed, to claim he has done better with you is shocking as i watched him play 6 in academy and centre for 1st team and im thinking he has played centre,wing and back row for you which shows he has been moved around and maybe found a better position rather than been out and out developed.

Players move from an academy to other clubs all the time. The Giants have done very little of this 'poaching' others have done much more of this.

Wardle has been at centre throughout at the giants. wardle did not stay because Mcnamara, and more particularly the asssiatnt coaches advising Potter, were not over keen to keep him. i am told his initial giants contract was not something the bulls could not match.

Looking at their attendances it seems they boycott themselves..

I've mulled over this myself and have come to the conclusion that I'll be there to support the team and will worry about Ken Davy another day. If it turns out that he has been manouvering to remove us and denying us the ability to make 10, I'll just stay away from all future RFL events a the Galpharm (much like most other England fans if I'm honest)

Why not boycott RL as a whole, as the RFL are obviously out to destroy you?

If I honestly believed the RFL were out to get us then I probably would look at boycotting. If I find out that Davy is out to get us I'll not put anymore money in his pocket (not that he'll notice it mind.) As it is, I have far too little information with which to make such an allegation against Davy and so I'll be there backing the players but will reserve the right to boycott the Galpharm should such information come out at a later date.

Don't try to accuse me of being a blinkered tinfoil hat wearer when I've made no such noises!

I doubt I'll watch the Bulls play at the Galpharm Stadium ever again!

John Smith Stadium...

Don't spoil it ha ha

My long experience of working in industry is 'what goes around comes around'. Don't worry about the Giants, they'll get their comuppance in the end. Just a matter of time really
