I hope the Huddersfield supporters making the journey over have a safe trip and an enjoyable evening.

The new rules on the away clubs keeping 50 % of the ticket sales at their ticket offices in 2018 could result in Huddersfield being one of the big losers fron that incentive sadly. It will be interesting what the final numbers will look like for us as well. Especially if the season does not pan out as intended.

How did the season intend to pan out Harold??, my expectation was always bottom 4 and Dereks was to stay in SL even if it meant the MPG
Think we've started the season very well TBH- big game for both teams this on Friday

Like Harold says you have a safe journey over. I hope you bring as many as you did for the 8's last year but I fear you won't.
Anyway when you come try and make some noise so the atmosphere is good. Without a drum please. A nice sax would be good or a trombone. Have you got anyone who can play the triangle or a recorder? That would be lovely.
Get over here, have a pint, enjoy the game and get home safe.
Having lost that is.

We always make noise away from home and i doubt there will be a drum that's reserved for home games thank the lord, not sure on the trumpet or not but our usual piece of percussion will be there, we aren't known as the 'cowbell army' for nothing

I certainly won't be coming expecting 2 points that's for sure, you've a decent team and we are nowhere near full strength but i will try and enjpy myself !

Unless it is a shared gate the away team will keep 50% of their away ticket sales provided they are bought from the away fans club.ie for 2018.

Isn't it 25% Frank?

It is this season

Re: Huddersfield (Home) : Thu Mar 09, 2017 8:26 am  

Will this lead to an increase in prices for away fans to make up for the home teams lost revenue?

Re: Huddersfield (Home) : Thu Mar 09, 2017 8:40 am  

This is a key game, out of our opening fixtures its one that most of us would have down for a win, it’s no good beating Saints and then losing to Hudd’s.

Shouldn't really be necessary as what we make from our away games will more than cover it. For example twice as many of our fans will probably travel to Leeds than the numbers of their fans that came to us. OK we will do well to match Saints following to ours but history tells us that the Giants will probably only muster a fifth of what will follow us to the Giants. Obviously though results will also have a bearing

Re: Huddersfield (Home) : Thu Mar 09, 2017 1:51 pm  

seems to be alot of discussion about away support by leigh fans, as a giants fan i will be attending as always but theres still a cloud hanging over the giants at the moment from last seasons shambles and some of our fans are very fickle... whereas your fans are still on a high and happy just to be back in SL, not that much of a difference in home attendances between the two clubs.

wont be many that make the trip over tomorrow night , the m62 closures are a nightmare on the way home at the moment, added an extra 45mins on last two trips to warrington away (friendly) and the widnes away game.

anyway should be a good game, not sure what giants team will turn up or who will be playing after so many being out last time, early days but its games like this that both team will be targeting to win and get into that top 8 end of season

Re: Huddersfield (Home) : Thu Mar 09, 2017 5:45 pm  

Our only guarantee is that our best players are in the stand!! Tonga Patterson and Stewart will be nigh on impossible to replace

Re: Huddersfield (Home) : Thu Mar 09, 2017 10:48 pm  

Giants missing 3 back row players who would otherwise be nailed on in the 17 is where it'll tell for us, big loss in the engine room sadly means we'll have to work our props harder

As for an injury to Brought, please that rumour is 3 years old
