Massive shame if true!

It was in trouble before this and without any Town or Giants games for the foreseeable it was inevitable.
Massive shame though.

Had some good times in there over the years, some shit beer as well to be honest 😊.
Took all three kids to the Christmas parties, probably knocking on thirty years ago, and they absolutely loved it.
It's amazing how many fans from other clubs always seem to have either been or heard about it. Just the other week we were in a taxi in wrexham and the driver asked where we were from, "Ah huddersfield, the gas club, I've been there a few times whilst watching Southampton , its quite unique"
Sincerely hope someone steps in to rescue the place, but obviously the timing couldn't have been worse with all this shit going on..

Admittedly I don't know much about the place, but I assume nearly all of its footfall comes from home games. Trying to run a place on 23 days a year must be hard. Shame as the few times I've been in there I've enjoyed it.

The committee had simply had enough and wanted to move on. The books were available for anyone to have a look at and it is in the black. |

Well it was always a bit rough with aggressive parents so unless you were a regular it was pretty dross and dour and back street hostile, but it's always a shame to see these dinosaurs fossilise.

Sorry,I meant trouble of closure as opposed to struggling financially. |

Since the demise of Ricky’s (Waggon & Horses) I've really struggled time find a handy pre-match pub. The Slubbers is OK but mobility issues make that tricky nowadays. Anywhere that wants me to drink overpriced beer from a plastic cup can just f**k off. I took my lad into Ricky’s every match from being 3 or 4 throughout his childhood. After it closed he said to me one time that most Saturdays we probably had more fun in there than at the actual football! |

Some great places of old that will never return we are slowly losing our heritage. The days of only having 2/3 channels on your TV that's if you had one are long gone and the main source of entertainment was going out to your local. These days there is so much more to do with your leisure time than 30/40 years a go but they were great times and I would not change them for anything. |
