Quote halifaxgiant="halifaxgiant"Does anyone see it like me. The new deal is unbelievable and almost too cheap to watch what is the only sports team in huddersfield playing at the very top level. Will it work? The problem that we have at the Giants is that our core support just comes from in the main the Huddersfield area. In contrast to Town who get a large amount of support from Mirfield etc.These people will never support the Giants as they have no tradition of doing so. So for me, for this to be a success we have to shift at least 10000 or it has not worked and i do not know what more the club can do to get people in. It was obvious from the Mr Thewlis interview when he alluded to all clubs having problems that crowds and revenue is ours. Ken Davy cannot make up the gap between revenue and costs for ever and it is quite simply his contribution that allows us to compete in the top 4. With the effort he has put in over the last 15 years it is a disgrace if at least 10000 dont take up these tickets and demonstrate that we want a top team in huddersfield. If not where do we go next?'"
It's more about reaching that magical 10k figure to attain the A grade licence.Will be disappointing,agree with you,if we don't get sales approaching that off the back of this offer,but even if we don't our SL status is not under threat.Then as you allude to,it's up to Sir Ken if he would want to carry on forking out.Yet he has proved over 15 years,one thing that he is not is a quitter.
When you look at it,our crowds now are not as good as some SL clubs,but they are at least as good as others,and much better than a couple I could mention.
I don't believe any of the aspiring championship clubs if given the nod could exceed our crowd numbers even with big success.
If Salford's crowds get huge in their new stadium,and if Cas & Weaky do get their stads built and it results in big attendance jumps for them,only then I would start to fear for our SL future.
