Please can I have some opinions on this? I think it is unbelievably cringeworthy, unsubstantiated and more confusingly misplaced arrogance. It now also seems to have become the 2nd part of our name. Huddersfield Town is merely half of us, we are now, wherever an opportunity arises Huddersfield Town The Yorkshire Club No we're not. It's tinpot and please get rid.

Hmmm,
If you say so.
Any more cringe worthy than singing "we're the greatest team in football, the world as ever seen".
Its the fans opinion so not at all.

Could be worse, fans could refer to us as "Champions of Europe"

I must say, I agree, I find all this marketing stuff and branding cringing too.
Why can't we just be a football club? Not sure what this 'Yorkshire club' slogan represents or what it means. There are a shed load of other clubs in Yorkshire, are they not 'Yorkshire clubs'?

Not keen on it either, as for the song it should be 'were the greatest team in football, the world had ever seen'. Which is true of course!

Does it really matter Smithfield? We're not re-registering the name a la Hull Tigers escapade. We're not changing colour because blue and white is deemed unlucky. We're not sacking anybody born on the 17th of the month, or forbidding wearing purple. "Dallas Cowboys - America's team" - everybody knows they're not really. We are a Yorkshire club, but this doesn't deliver the impact 'The Yorkshire Club' is intended to. And I'd have thought it should wind up our gigantic neighbours from up the A62 or from North Sheffield, rather than upset us. If it works commercially/from a marketing point of view leave it. I'd have thought now is just about the best time ever to have the moniker following on from the global TV coverage success of the Grand Depart/le Tour de Yorkshire. Just my opinion!!

These daft 'branding' slogans get right on my tits. It's a bloody football club, that represents the town of Huddersfield, which happens to be in Yorkshire.

It's about positioning ourselves as the club Yorkshire based firms should want to do business with. Personally, the branding itself doesn't bother me in the slightest and I'm glad we're looking at trying to put back into the local community. The word community is rarely associated with football these days, and that's wrong, so I'm a little bit baffled that someone would want to have a go at the club for trying to change that.

A bit less cringy than when the Terries marketing concept arrived to stir up connections with yapping, bad breath and matted hair.

Another point - how many people globally have heard of Huddersfield, or know where it is? Nowhere near as many as have heard of Yorkshire I'd wager.

You want more players, better players, to sack the manager etc etc etc Being 'The Yorkshire Club' probably helps generate the spondoolies to fulfil your wishes

Would we be any less beneficial or important in the community without the branding, can we not continue to strengthen links with Yorkshire businesses if we don't call ourselves The Yorkshire Club, are they mutually exclusive? We are a football club, and having that after our name 90% of the time will be judged by a football fan. And when all is said and done and marketing spin and explanations behind the slogan, we are not the Yorkshire club, we're not the biggest, or the most successful, or the highest ranked, we're a club based in Yorkshire, who strive to do a lot of business with local companies, although if Gazprom offered a decent account of cash for our shirt sponsorship we'd soon drop all holiness to the cause.

Huddersfield Town are the forefront of community work in Yorkshire sport, they support and even run local charities, they support local business, they support local education, and I think it is abysmal that someone would belittle that to have a go at town for publicising the fact that they are proud and indeed honoured to at least try to take the entire county forward. It isn't Just a branding of htafc, it is a pulling together and streamlining of all the work that we carry out for the county and in partnership with others, not any other club in this county does the work that we do to the extent that we do.
shameless attempt at undermining the club arterrier and Smithfield, as normal you prove what narrowminded cocks you really are.

The Yorkshire club moniker surely relates to being ''tight'' & ''plain speaking''
Could apply to this forum - DATM, The Yorkshire forum!!

Haha yes of course. And THE YORKSHIRE CLUB perfectly captures all of the stuff you describe above, that everyone will read after our name and immediately understand all the beneficial work we do for the community and how we run our club on sound local morals, and anyone from any club anywhere, or even our own, who thinks it actually doesn't really represent that but comes off the wrong way is a narrow minded cock undermining the community. DATM - the pinnacle of well reasoned input

I actually sit on my balcony at night shining a laser pen into the YAA ambulance too (it's a strong one it crosses the Pennines) The fact that people in support of the moniker have to explain the reasoning behind it surely means it's not having its intended message, or that it also in no way represents what it's claimed to represent. I wasn't explaining it to you. I was trying to explain that surely it should be seen as a good thing, and was also trying to convey my bewilderment that something as trivial as this could get someone so worked up. Especially the day before the new season kicks off when there is so much stuff actually football related to talk about. Would we be any less beneficial or important in the community without the branding, can we not continue to strengthen links with Yorkshire businesses if we don't call ourselves The Yorkshire Club, are they mutually exclusive? We are a football club, and having that after our name 90% of the time will be judged by a football fan.

Do you get how marketing works? Let me put this pretty simply for you: 1) We brand ourselves "The Yorkshire Club" 2) We approach Yorkshire business about investing in the club, with the branding helping to tell the story and benefits of why they should invest 3) They invest 4) The club makes money 5 (And probably most crucial of all) No one dies in the process. I've no doubt at all that if we eventually make it the PL and can attract a Gazprom et al. then we will ditch the branding in a flash which I have no problem with. But as it stands, we aren't going to be a huge attraction for global brands to invest in, so using a marketing strategy that specifically targets more likely investors makes perfect sense.

not neccesarily, but using ANY EXCUSE to have a go and 'back up' your own apathy towards anything and everything the club do makes you a narrow minded cock. I have never once read a post from you which states anything like, 'maybe I do disagree with a lot of what the club does, but they did well/ok here', you again and again and again take every opportunity to slag off everything the club does as does Arterrier, who I am unsurprised to see posting on one of the first negative threads in a couple of days, that is what makes you a small minded cock. typical little men the pair of you not happy unless you are belittling something, support the club in your own way by all means but don't start complaining that everyone else has a go at you when they disagree with your constant contempt for the club.
