i still call the team FARTOWN and always get the name fartown printed on back of my rugby shirts .. just look at my tipping comp, most weeks it will say fartown versus , rather than giants

the away shirt from 94/95 even had fartown printed on the back as standard.. the black millgate one

think ive got that one in a draw some where

I still have a bond with Fartown and understand the history BUT in the modern times i can see where the Giants bit is good for commercial and marketing needs. the other thing is if we start attracting more fans from the Kirklees area or further afield or if NL fans see us as their SL team then selling to them the brand of Giants will be easier than Fartown or Huddersfield even.

As long as we play in Huddersfield and have C & G shirts that is good enough for me.

Deary me, I do most sincerely apologise that you mistook my tongue-in-cheek comment [followed by a winking smiley] for a serious comment. Do you really think that I, or anyone, expect people to regularly travel from a different country to watch sports fixtures? Even that Adelaide chappy rarely attends these days.

you are right with the branding bit etc, over here i never mention fartown as nobody has ever heard of them..( sacralidge).. so i always refer to us as huddersfield giants .. but in reality nobody knows them either lol

Oops, forgot this

come on fellas .. as the saints fans would say ... calm down

Ivor, apology accepted, l don,t really understand those face things, just saw the part time supporter, and bit, l really am 100% commited, supporter since 1959, played at Fartown as a junior 1963, league is a large part of my life now l,m retired
grumpy so an so.

Look, why not both sort this out like adults.

Id say a fight in Green head park at Midday this Sunday?

What a 60 year old and a 99 (?) year old surely that would be against health and safety and would boomer be able to make it over from portugal

Here mate, the elderly these days are lethal! Have you seen them behind the wheel of a car!!!! Imagine them fighting it out. It would be a bloodbath!!

Can't manage Greenhead Park at noon. Midnight would suit me better. I'll take a torch, so it's down to boomer. Either a torch or candles will do.

Match referee anyone? [& don't suggest him from Red Hall!]

We'll presumably need seconds as well.

Damn stuff this hair, keeps on growing.

Just wait until you've none left to grow! That's why I've always had medium[!!] length hair - to make up for the years when I would be bald!
