You have just encapsulated what it means to be a true fan far more than a load of books could russ - a local man (akin to donald john when you've had a few but hey ho!!) who has such pride and passion for his local team - not like half of old trafford/anfield/stamford bridge travelling all over the country to watch a team just because they are good and fashionable.
The rollercoaster is back on an upward cycle fella - lets make the walkers rock on sat!

thats the way we all feel my friend,,,,,,not just me you and all the other supporters,,,,town is part of life and if it was ever taken away i dont know what i would do....i love huddersfield town and all the great people which i have met throughout 30 odd years of watching town.....i would like to opologise if you have ever come up to me to say hello and i dont even know ur name...i feel awful when this happens but i can,t remember all 10,000 names you are a great bunch and i feel at home in your presance wheather its at plymouth on a tuesday nite or having been to-gether at l**ds watching our team win....the morale in the club at the moment is excellant and like i,v said before i can,t wait til the day the mr hoyle gets held aloft after we have secured promotion,that would be the icing on the cake for me WHEN THIS HAPPENS....TTID

It's in your blood and your heart Russ and it will never change.I honestly don't want Russian and Arab billionaires running my club.Dean Hoyle will do for me,a fan with a few quid who is as passionate as you and me.I can't remember how many times since I left Yorkshire to find work at 18 yrs old(now49) I have had the piss taken out of me by the fans of Manure,Chelski,et all.It used to wind me up but no more.These are all armchair fans who have never felt the camaraderie and brotherhood of truely supporting a team you love with all your heart.THey have never been to some far flung away ground as I have on my own hundreds of times,walked up to a pub wondering if any Town fans will be in there only to open the door to a sea of blue and white and friendly faces.These are people who you have known for 30 years or more but know nothing about them but their name.We have all experienced trouble over the years particularly in the 70's and 80's but if you needed help those boys were always there for you.We care deeply when things aren't going right but we celebrate when they are.I can honestly say that I have cried more watching Town than any filmor real life experience.Who could forget promotion under Buxton,the play off final under Jacko when we could so easily have been out of business months earlier.The feeling when Bullock scored that pen at Brentford and the subsequent win at Wembley.These are memories that will be with us all forever not the memory of opening your fourth tinnie watching your team win on the box.Your team is your team it is etched in your very soul for all eternity that is why Huddersfield Town will foever be in our hearts.TTID.

I've heard it said before that the longest relationship you have in your life is with your parents, the second longest is with your football club. If things go to plan it's probably about right.

Spot on squadronleader.Many years ago before I had kids I was sat in a pub with a few mates when we asked each other "what 3 things do you love the most in life?" I said HTFC,Taylors best bitter and a curry from the Al Khyam in Dewsbury.This got back to the Mrs who was not best pleased.We lived together for 23 years and had 2 kids before we got married 3 years ago.At the reception I told her she had moved into second place!

leaving about 1100 to get there for oneish, try to get somewhere common to meet if you can but as before parking can be poor. That regent club mentioned earlier seemed good beer but as driving can only have a twofer anyway. hope atmosphere as good as carlisle but result a lot better.

Following on from that there are countless occasions when I'm asked where I met the mrs and the reply is allways the same. "17th August 1996 in the Fleece, we beat Charlton 2-0, Bullock and Morrison"
Whatever happens in life it allways seems to be related to a Town match ;D

[Overton Terrier]

What brilliant posts. Sum up completly what a True Terrier is.

Like Bristol - I too moved South due to work ( making a triumphant return to God's county 3 years ago ) though I never stopped being a Terrier - travelling 250 miles to Home games ( and to see my Mum )
I was 6, when my Dad took me to Leeds Road to see Town v West Ham, a team containing Moore, Peters and Hurst, we drew 0-0 and Colin Dobson missed a pen.
After that, I too have seen the high's and the lows but
That was it. I have been a Terrier since that day. The hairs on the back of my neck still stand up when the team runs onto the pitch. Best of all is that I cannot ever remember feeling so positive about the club's future. Hoyle knows what he is doing and I think we can all see the start of something special.
The pride we have in Town is more evident now than ever and I can't believe that "fans" of Man City, Chelsea etc can possibly feel the same amount of pride. Our's is not bought it;s genuine!
Hopefully a life long dedication is about to witness a return to the golden age for a club with quite simply, the best supporters in the land. TTID

Met u up in Carlisle Russ, top man the blue flag stands high and proud, Deano is one of our own , and in him we trust-not some shitty L***ds fan, who wants a quick turnover. Ian Greaves, Micky Buxton, Peter Jackson and The Brilliant Deano revolution of Clarks Blue and white army(see i can use a computer)KEEP THE FAITH TTID

good post !

[norahs]

Pure and simple addiction!!!!

No matter how bad things get you have to just carry on with hope deep down in your heart that one day soon things will change. I haven't felt as good about Town for years as I do now. Bring on the Leicester.

It's called LOVE.

We all LOVE this club, but like any relationship it has its ups and downs, so let's enjoy the current good times whilst they last!!!!!
