With the season quickly approaching, what do you think the impact of the current situation would be on attendances? If either still ongoing (Whether guilty or not) or confirmed as a prosecution headed for a trial, it can't be good for public opinion?

It's a shame because the Giants as a club were making great efforts to promote themselves last season. There seemed a real buzz with the Cup Final and a few 10k crowds dotted about and a general upturn both on and off field.

I think it's great. The crowds will come flocking in off the back of this for sure. They should have done it sooner. Other clubs should follow suit.

Dearie me today.

Interesting. Following the 'no publicity is bad publicity' line. I know it wouldn't have a good effect, I was just wondering how much of a knock you thought it would have on your club? Would it blow away the good feeling about the place and strip attendances back to the hardcore?

We are going to have a public flogging, lynching and then we will march on the mills and smash the machines.

Do you think the present situation will have an impact on the teams performance, well at least until things are clear as to which avenue the situation may take.

Given we dont know who is actually involved why dont we forget about it until more info, if any, is released...

The under the carpet routine has been booked for this month unfortunately. With it being the start of the RL season, the RU infiltrated media are going to be running with this case till the cows come home.

Very good point. IF, and it's a massive if there was anything in it I wouldn't want to stand next to them and help them out.

Disasterous could it be, hmm, yes.

Please feel free to speculate on your own boards. maybe you are just trying to set a record on how many threads can be set up to speculate and ferret around for information.

an enquiry is under way and what happens will be dtermined after March 3rd. until then nothing happens and the team club and players will pull together to play RL.

the fans will support the team and put up with the numpties on message boards and the innappropriate chanting at matches and say f o o k off to you all. We will support the Giants come what may. Be assured that the club will do the right thing in the eyes of the law and in the best interests of the club. As long as Ken davy is at the club it will be run well and will be beyond reproach no matter what the outcome of any investigations.

Hope all is resolved very quickly, Huddersfield did a fantastic job last season and it would be great to see them build on that this season..

Mind you when I say very quickly maybe just after you have played us in the 2nd round



Hope it all goes well for you guys though and best wishes for the season.

I am very worried for attendances and player preparation. It is a real blow and Nathan's got his work cut out. It's 'effect' I think!

it has happend to bigger clubs before with no lasting damage and In the bigger picture it makes the club more imfamous rather than famous and to be fair thats more apealing to somepeople

So do you have any concrete examples that alledged illegality or actual illegality of a player or players in a team has led to lower crowds?

Well this is descending into wild speculation as expected.
