The shit and abuse that our club, players and fans got on Sunday was a fucking disgrace. And all that from a club that was getting 50% of the fans in 14/15 and 15/16 v what it is getting now. Shall I go back a few more years? Everyone around me on Sunday was giving it the “where were you when you were shit”, well when we were shit our attendances went up, yours is the other way round. You may have been loyal, but about half weren’t, so if you give it out then fucking take it. City have a history of (a) under achievement and (b) loyalty, these are the things we do best, and the fucking knobs who sing the where were you when you were shit need to understand that[/QUOTE]
I'm a Huddersfield fan.
For only the second time I'm going to post on an opposing club's message board just to correct the frankly insane and factually incorrect view from a fair few on here that we have a number of "glory hunter" supporters and that half our crowd are only here for the Premier league.
Re the first point if you've a sliver of intelligence or an IQ nudging into double figures you'd surely plainly see the absurdity of saying a Huddersfield supporter could be a glory hunter. 45 years outside the top flight not even a cup quarter final in that time. If they are glory hunters they are pretty bl***y sh8*te at it.
Re our attendance rise (which a few have quoted) this is clearly primarily down to our Chairman's forward thinking view on pricing.
The gate for our first game last season (following if you recall a season when we finished 19th - our 4th consecutive bottom 9 finish - mainly lower - and following eleven seasons in the third division, when we were many pundits tip to finish bottom and in the holiday period) was 18,479. When holiday season finished that rose again so that for the majority of the season we had comfortably more than 20k. In the championship remember and with very very few people giving us much chance of promotion.
So it is just plainly wrong to say half of the crowd have only just arrived for the PL.
We have something very good going at Huddersfield at present. A unity between Club and fans not experienced for a long time (if ever). A greatly improved atmosphere that seems to be the envy of the PL at present (judging by comments in the media and press).
Not sure why anyone would want to knock that. However if you do at least try and be factually correct
