I think you make a very good point kenmargra! It is however much easier to form a protest when things are going badly, as people are keen to protest about 'something' whether it's right or not.
The problem I feel we're left with now though how to move this forward. I think a banner is an interesting idea, especially this season as Davy is still chairman, although i'm not too sure about what reaction it would get, although it would let him know that we've not forgotton about what he's done!
Next season Davy won't even be at the ground, so short of lining his pockets and protesting at a Giants game i'm not too sure what else we could do. What he's done is not illegal so any other sort of action wouldn't really be justified

ffa asked their questions they got a reply it didn't suit them so they just dug the dirt As a founding member of the FFA i can state categoricaly and without reservation, I and those who i worked with were forced into action AFTER it had come to light that the Stadium Shares had been transferred. Only AFTER discovering this fact did we then seek to determine what the ramifications of this action. During our research and search for answers did it come to light that Mr Davy had to his "Credit" numerous other questionable business practices, one such company being subject to penalties imposed by the FSA. Having watched our great club teeter on the brink once, we werent about to sit back and watch our already weakened club weakened even further by an unscrupulous chairman. The very same chairman that had played his part in the demise of the original Sheffield Eagles. In 1996, Ken Davy took over as chairman of Huddersfield RL. In 1999 the farcical merger of Huddersfield and Sheffield took place. Huddersfield RL would have gone out of existence, they were so heavily in debt and the merger with Sheffield Eagles was a back door method contrived between the clubs and the dodgy RFL leaders of the time, to wipe those debts off. The sham mergers and million pound payouts for doing so was deception of the most corrupt nature and offended all genuine fans of the game. Huddersfield RL were in on the heist big style. Huddersfield Giants remained, Sheffield Eagles disappeared, being forced to reform and start from the very bottom again, despite having been winners of the Challenge Cup in 1998. And still our 40% Stadium shares remain with HUDDERSFIELD SPORTING PRIDE LIMITED Formerley known as: 10/02/2004 HUDDERSFIELD RUGBY LEAGUE FOOTBALL CLUB (1994) LIMITED All the while our Stadium shares belonged to another company we continued to pay outstanding debts on the Stadium. Add to that he tied us up in a 110 year lease. Pretty much ensuring we will never be able to walk away from the Stadium we no longer have a share in. " its just hate davy when lets face it previous town directors werent great were they" - I dont hate Mr Davy but will be happy to see him have NO involvement in Huddersfield Town at all, i cant deny he stepped in and save the club but it is clear now that he had an agenda and it wasnt merely to secure football in Huddersfield. "it didn't suit them so they just dug the dirt" - If the dirt isnt there it can't be dug!!!!

It never ceases to amaze me that there are town fans still out there still ready to leap to Davy's defence. He must of been finding favour amongst the community by dashing about helping old ladies cross the road and saving kittens in between shafting this club. It is clear however that their numbers and the strength of their argument is all but defunct. I for one have nothing but thanks and admiration for the way that FFA have disclosed the facts and conducted themselves.
Keep at it.

davys ideal fan - oh brilliant - and that is why ffa are a complete an utter joke you clown open your eyes, FFA didnt always go about things the right way IMO and i argued against some of their methods to which the guys in FFA then went on to include me in more of the behind the scences debate that goes on amongst them and were very transparents about there views, and views do differ amonst the guys but one think is common and the argument is very strong Davy has shafted Town over the shares in the ground. if your going to come on here and make stupid comments why dont you back up what your saying otherwise you have no argument.

As a major player in FFA i admit in hindsight we could have gone about things differently but i think FFA were always going to run into the other side of the debate whatever route we took. But we didn't dig up the dirt on Davy... It's all out there in public, all the inaccuracies of statements between Watson and Davy, all the claims that never came to fruition with the broken promises, assets being paid for but not having ownership of, debts being vetoed and to be paid at a later date... I have all the links...I don't need to make anything up... As for being an HTAFC supporter Brandnubian? We all are! Some believe supporting goes deeper than just matchday's (which is everyone perogative to enjoy and leave at that) .. My experience with FFA and of the last month lead me to believe that supporting HTAFC is still about looking into the financial aspects as well as singing my heart out at matches.. Fortunately this time around quite a few important people also agree with me so it makes it a lot more pleasureable. Onwards and Upwards

It's amazing the effects of alcohol aint it.....some lad who can't even punctuate a sentence comes on at midnight and starts ranting about the morals of me and many of my acquaintances. Fuelled by a bit of 'beer bravado' he starts belittling people, and all the hard work they have done over the past 2 years. He may not like it....and nor did Uncle Ken. But other members of the Town hierarchy certainly appreciate everything FFA did at the time As a side point, FFA isn't technically active at the moment....but I, and many of my colleagues, will continue to to seek the return of Town's shares (and for Ken to do the 'right thing') for as long as it takes....no matter what the name of the group we represent.

What an absolute clown!!! I was proud to have FFA represent me as a fan of Huddersfield Town Football Club.
It's easy for us to say this is what they should have done but I did't see anyone else step up to the mark when questions needed answering, When everybody else didn't have a clue the people connected with FFA fought our corner as supporters to get the answers we wanted.
Just remember the people that represented ffa had familys and livlyhoods outside of our club and they managed to find time around there private lives to fight for answers!!!

All we did was try to bring facts out into the open. People can continue to make their own opinion as to whether that was worthwhile, or a success. Running FFA, and now being chairman of HTSA, takes up a lot of time and many people don't have the time to devote. My desire to make FFA's hardwork worthwhile contributed towards the break up of my marriage.....but hey ho....I've supported Town since 1979....I'd only known the mrs since 1993

She wasn't particularly a footie fan, or a town fan....though she did say that my dedication over the years had removed all the interest she had in football. Never mind eh.....plenty of women about......but there's only 1 Huddersfield Town

Brandnubian ... Please can you either ... a) Answer these questions ... 1. Do you think that Ken Davy transferred the stadium shares? 2. Was he right to do so? 3. Considering that he said he would not be transferring the shares, does this make it wrong for him to go on to transfer them? 4. Have FFA ever lied or attempted to mislead Town fans (as Davy has - if we're to look at the facts)? If so, how? Or ... b) Bugger off and stop wasting everyone's time!

silence all dissenters its starting to sound like nazi germany that really isnt a sensible thing to say-also not a case of 'silence all dissenters' more a case of if you're going to try n defend ken,try n do it with informed facts,not utter trash and slag off everyone else-have you been taking a new drug that makes you incapable of answering the most basic questions and only capable of talking rubbish with nothing to back up a single thing you say?
