Called it last week, smells like we're getting ready for L1. Going down was always going to happen one day, with this strategy, but just accepting it two games into the season?

Season ticket holder and been going for 31 years and usually try to stay positive but feck me what's going on if butterfield goes would be a huge mistake can't see much hope of staying up tbh if we sell him quality player Me too - but I'm sure DH is mindful that the chances of him getting his £37m loans back are better in selling a Championship club than a League 1 club

We shouldn't accept a penny less than £4 million. We don't need to sell and he is our best player Why don't we need to sell? We can't expect Hoyle to subsidise us forever and the Coady and Smithies transfer fees won't cover this years loses This is what happens when fans choose to stop paying - we have to good bye to our better players. Harsh financial reality time for some Those bragging about stopping going should think about that if/when we are back in League One That may be the line they end up trying to feed us..... But the fact of the matter is that the club makes more profit by putting the prices up skyhigh and fleecing the regular punters than it does by lowering the prices to attract more punters through the door. Cibbins proudly announced that they simulate prices and the effect they have on matchday attendance, but also the profit the club makes. He then sets the price to maximise the profit, basically they dont give a shit if you attend or not. They have put the prices up to charge away fans more and the basically stuck two fingers up at supporters that go when they can. I will never pay £30 to watch a game of football. That is a fact. When my lads old enough to come and watch I may be able to get a season ticket again..... thats if the fact he never sees town play, but watches man utd on telly and now supports them means I end up taking him to old trafford.

Not accepting it in any way, I actually feel we could well turn up against Brighton and surprise a few. Where we go from there is anybody's guess. Just my gut feeling there's a bad stench around the club at present and as you say it was always going to happen one day. Huge gamble if we sell Coady, Smithies and Butterfield in one summer.

Virtually every club in this division runs at a loss but somehow they manage to have aspirations far and above ours. Every chairman in this division subsidies their clubs to some extent so I know we are not the only ones. The problem is now that we have a chairman who is unwilling to do it. God only knows why he bust a gut and spent so much to finally get us here only to pull the plug. If we get relegated it will have all been for nothing because we have wound back right where we started.

The fans you are talking about aren't those who can go to nearly every game and getting in for half price with a SC, these are the fans who turn up occasionaly (for whatever reason) and have to pay £30.50 to watch Town v Blackburn...and more for a category A game... In addition those who want to buy early and avoid the match day hike of £3,but can't get down to the ground, end up then paying the booking fee. Try telling the 8,000 or so SC holders that their SC will double to £740 and see what the 'loyal' fans reaction is.

I meant the club is seemingly giving up, not you. I think it is only fair to wait until the transfer window is closed. Probably more accurate to say taking a massive gamble as opposed to giving up but the silence from the chairman, fans in the dark, the ticket prices fiasco, the stifling of our young talent, player unrest, failure to beat lower league teams, selling off the family silver, it all adds up to a poor show in the eyes of some and it's fair to wonder if certain parties are losing interest.

"Losing interest" is a bit unprofessional to me. If true, it shouldn't be materialising itself this openly.

One wonders if these potential sales (Smithies, Butterfield) would be happening if we were playing Villa in the next round.

Thought adults can get in for £21 in the FML We did the £100 ST and it didn't work. Despite the rises we remain one of the cheapest sides to watch in the League and comparable to lower division sides.

Interesting that Wolves fans are pleased with a home draw to Hull City and see it as a good result. A team that get crowds of 20,000 more or less every week, spend top dollar on recruitment and finished last season in eigth position. But when we lose away at Hull our supporters call it a disgrace and call for the manager to be sacked. I think we all need a dose of reality and adjust our expectations.

If Brighton put an offer in for Murphy today, would we drop him from tomorrows squad??
We're missing a tactical trick here.

Have they fuck, the negativity has got far, far worse. He's done wonders for the club & is the sole reason we're in the Championship in the first place. The people of Huddersfield haven't backed him - simple as. As if that weren't enough, all most of them ever do is moan about everything that goes on at the club, a lot of them taking their bat & ball home & withdrawing their 'support'. If he does want out, little wonder!

I didn't even know it existed until a couple of years ago and I know loads of town fans who have never even read this forum. If Dean Hoyle is going to take his bat and ball home over the rantings of a few town fans then he needs to grow a pair. I'm eternally thankful for all he has done for the club and continues to do but my words he needs to accept that he cannot please all of the people all of the time. The negativity in the stands comes from the boring football on the pitch. Dish us out some excitement and watch the positivity return!
