That lass in Amsterdam said pretty much the same thing about me whilst I tucked €20 in her minky.'"

No need to say thank you.

Punters is a cheap way to describe fans.

To you gates going up year on year for 5/6 years from 3k to 8k approx is probably laughable. To most clubs it would be seen as a significant achievement. perhaps if I got the RFL to explain how the Giants did it in a free roadshow you would appreciate it



When will you get the Leigh crowds up to say 8k I will think you you have something meaningful to say.....but until them

Maybe when we get saved from being relegated from SL 3 years running , we might

So you admit , basically relegation saved you , along with Kens cash

Keep it up , I hope you do , eventually you'll start producing players as well , but it has to be said that big Earl will be getting my support tommorrow so at least you have made a start

By the way I'm still waiting for your ideas to revive our sport , how long do you need to think of some ?

You should read the stuff like:

"Bramley Buffaloes Chair Martyn Cheney exclaimed: “We were facing an uncertain future without a main sponsor and our very existence was under threat until PPD showed an interest. "

This bleating quote can be found on this forum.

There is more elsewhere. So much wimpering. Like some lost little child needing Mummy or Daddy to save her.

Thankfully private enterprise bailed that lot out. A business with the where-with-all to make profits saved the floundering hobbyists with their very existence under threat (i'm getting tearful..honest)

To see wealthy philanthropic acts like this warms the cockles of your heart...it does....it really does.

and he is willing to work hard to make it a success in what ever way that is

Perhaps one day you might have the integrity to do something similar

And your contribution to this success of the Giants is ?

You are wrong sweetcheeks. I am delighted that private money from an entrepreneur can bail out.

It is so funny that your buddy marto castigates 'sugar daddies' and then runs around with a begging bowl and is so relieved when a businessman bails him out. Such hypocracy is laughable.

We agree re Ken Davy. It is a pity Marto sees him as a 'sugar daddy'. But hey when you are committed to twee common ownership models then you can only see things one way.

I am a fan. Your utter ignorance about our youth development is staggering. By trying to make a cheap point you show your ignorance and your desperation to 'score a point'.

Is that the way you think a RL club should be run? Don't check any facts...just shout your mouth off. priceless.

This makes you look a pillock , neither me or Marto has been patronising in our posts , you however have been several times ,

Does he , did you miss this post

You have a short memory



This was your club not very long ago

But still no ideas's from you

Your contribution to your club and the sport is appreciated , if you ever feel like making a real difference , please do

Have I got this right?

We have a Huddersfield fan looking down his nose at the smaller clubs

there a masive club now days you know

He'll be looking back up when Davy pops his clogs. Can't be long now - he's 70 next year. Huddersfield will do a Halifax once he's gone - downhill faster than Franz Klammer.

Read your own posts sweetcheeks. You have made several feeble attempts at being rude. You're not much cop at that either



Marto castigates sugar daddies and runs cap in hand to a businessman to save his club. Comedy gold.

Still can't admit you were wrong about our youth development. How pathetic. Nearly as sad as your attempt to criticise the Giants increase in support while scratching around for ideas to increase support elsewhere - you couldn't make this up.

Not right at all.

If you read the posts before knee jerking to a conclusion you would see that i hope Oldham pull through and I praised the way Batley is run as a club.

HTH

its amazing how the floaters pop now and again

Will he(?)look back up ? Klammer is in his mid 50s now, so not very fast then (maybe a skier from the last 20 years would have helped your case

).

If the Giants struggle after KD so be it. I supported them before and I will do so after. If they go bust - and many others will do so before the Giants - then it will hurt like hell and then life goes on.

I doubt any set of fans - perhaps bar a few - would oppose a wealthy backer saving their club and taking it forward. Yet on here a poster wrote 'sugar daddy = BAD'. While the same poster's club of choice was bailed out by a business sponsorship.

The most RL content of any post you have made..well done.

Franz Klammer was a legend. I couldn't find a skier in the last 20 years who was fit enough to wax his skis. I used his name for effect to get across my point. You are right of course though - sugar daddy's are to be praised - they're bringing money into the game. I just dread what happens when they pack up but obviously this should not preclude them from being involved in RL.

Just like you won't say that you don't know how much of the money CC clubs get was from Sky. Does it hurt you so much just say them three words - "I don't know". but then again you never do have any answers do you? Like Starbug once said....your a poormans Smokey TA.

Oh there was no knee jerk, I've been reading the thread for a few days and was finding it all a tad ironic.

Smokey is Smokey, I rarely agree with him but he has his reasons, and in fairness to him a large amount of bragging rights. Huddersfield however. Well. Divert it as much as you like, you have certainly cast a repeated sneer at the lower clubs and particularly someone who probably does more for his club in a week than you will in a lifetime.

In actual fact, casting my mind back to when Leigh's Colts could have given Huddersfiled a game, I was going to ask Smokey if he went to the JP Cup Semi at 'Arena 84' and if he remembered just how bad a state the 'Barracuders' were in back then. On a par with, oh I don't know, Bramley maybe.

You may be too young to remember, which is fair enough, the dark days when you could have only dreamt of following Fev to Wembley, or seeing Fax win pots. Perhaps seeing Sheffields finest hour too, and how they were the big boys in the 'merger'. The fierce local derby being against Keighley or Batley. Or how a lack of facilities and finance at Dewsbury and Hunslet kept you in SL for numerous seasons despite a loss rate of something like 90%. I wont remind you how you got there in the first place either, old wounds and all that.

Enjoy your days in the sun, but don't look down at those you passed along the way with contempt, especially when you're so reliant upon one man in the first place.

Agreed.
