got to Old trafford for the division 1 play off.

Sounds like an exciting game which went to penalties.


Same day as our visit to Hull so i am not expecting we will be taking many over to Hull.

if only we could get most of Huddersfield out of their front rooms on match day like that!! sounded like a great atmosphere!

Was good to see your stadium full(ish).

Guess you won't be travelling in your usual large numbers a week on Sunday then?

We might aswell shove both of them in the west stand.

was thinking the same, sounded like a great atmosphere and looked great on tv

Have your brain cell sit between them, they would have something to laugh about if we lose.

Jeez, there was some banjo-pickers in the crowd. Not least the four-eyed gomper who saw himself on close-up so stuck 2 fingers up at the camera and snarled. Unbelievable Jeff!
Good game though!

That's it, really?

Sleep on it and come back in morning with something resembling humour.

I've just got back, my nerves are shot, my voice is wrecked, I am tired as f*ck, but it was the greatest sporting event I have ever witnessed. If only we could get an atmosphere like that!

After a football match? You can't be serious?

Depends how much of a Giants fan you are. That semi-final when we beat Saints at Warrington was something special.
Not a bad game though for soccer, but for me no where near as exciting as RL.

You first.

when did they stop using the away goals rule for the play offs?.. i suppose any team that finishes 16 points clear of their oponents deserve to get to the final and thats as close as a well done as you are going to get lol...
i beleive thathe team who come third should go straight to final, and the have 5 v 6 and then 4 against winner etc... straight knock out and winner plays 3rd place in final....town didnt gain much by coming 3rd in comparrison to bournemouth who came 6th

And already our potential away support is down with Giants fans choosing to go and enjoy Towns big day



having to travel to Hull for a 12.30 kick off was bad enough but now Town in a final on the same day , great planning !!

Well done town, let's hope they can finally win promotion.

As for the Hull game a bit of a triple whammy really; early KO, Sky and now town in a promotion final - can't see many making it across unfortunately, which is a pity as our away support has improved tremendously this season.

If I had the pick of the two, what are sure to be great games, I would be going to the Giants game as the facilities at Hull (as far as Super League goes) are second to none and the atmosphere is always good, plus Rugby League over Football any day of the week. I always enjoy going across to the KC in particular when we put a weakened squad out in 2009 and crushed them 24-0 (Thorman struggling with some high bombs)

as it happens I won't be watching sod all that weekend as I am moving house

Hope Town do get into the Championship.

not really bothered if town go up or not to be honest

didnt realise it was the same day as hull fc match, ill still be going to hull though...

Me too ...i'm not a Town fan so i dont really care what they do, just a bit disapointed in Giants fans choosing to have a day out watching them rather than supporting us !

agree

short memories, they dont give a damn about the giants, it wasnt long ago they were putting posters up about ken davy round the town



dont see how town getting promotion would help the giants, it most likely will have the opposite affect..

Because?....
I,m not a town fan, but the more people who have a positive sporting experience at the galpharm cannot be a negative for giants. Plus the more money htfc make , again that helps potential stadium / facilities development.

Think you need to see them as a compliment, not as a rival brearlyIQ ...

first of all,well done to HTFC and the town fans who post on here im sure they'll have a great day out a the theatre of tourism.
as for us, it's disappointing that the game will be the same day as we play at hull, our away support will be severely diminished as lots of people will go to old trafford instead of the KC,which is understandable but dont help us, just as we have started to get good numbers to away games next sunday will be down to bare bones.
the cynic in me suggests that the sky schedule had been planned in the hope town get to the final so the sky commentators will be all over our poor support without realising that hundreds of potential giants supporters will have gone to manchester for a football final.
maybe our club could try and get the game moved back to it's original friday night slot? though i doubt it.

The Atmosphere could only have been beaten by Leeds 2006. Saints comes close, but it was a great game to be at. Of course Rugby is so much better

not much of an argument for there mate.... whats wrong with the facilities now??

i think they see us more of a rival to be honest, dont forget we ruin there pitch and no one watches us!

Glad to see that Franchise FC won't be going up. But would be nice to see Huddersfield go up for sure, good luck to them!

With money tight will people decide to watch Town in a higher league than they were than watch the Giants at the top of the highest possible league? Not me though I can't stand the round ball game. How it's so popular i'll never know, it bores me to tears watching full grown men diving on the floor at every opportunity to try and get a free kick. Make them play on broken glass and we'll see how many can stay on their feet then.

Now that WOULD be entertaining. Personally I enjoy football and both codes of Rugby - but I have to say no other sport offers the excitement of League. The intensity, the physicality and the level of skill in some of the plays is second to none. Add on top the level of actual sportsmanship demonstrated at the highest level leaves it head and shoulders above other sports for me.
