I must admit, I feel a bit uneasy about the prospect of Kevin Nagle owning OUR ground. Would you prefer a third party like Mike Ashley? |

I must admit, I feel a bit uneasy about the prospect of Kevin Nagle owning OUR ground. Would you prefer a third party like Mike Ashley? No, I'd prefer it how it is so there's no chance of some knobhead getting hold of it in the future and doing what he wants with it. And before anyone starts, I'm not referring to Nagle, I'm referring to anyone in general. We've all seen what's happened to clubs over the years with grounds owned by someone else. Look at Oldham for example, or Scunthorpe recently. It might not be ideal the way it is, but at least there's no chance of us ever being kicked out of the place or it being owned by someone dodgy. |

It seems that MPs are of more benefit to their constituency by getting a top cabinet job, rather than being a back bencher asking questions. Sheerman notably hasn't taken a top post in either the cabinet or shadow cabinet. Back onto the stadium though, was his "agreement" with ICI (a company that no longer exists in anything like the same form) legally binding? If so, why was Davy allowed to mess about with the ownership during his tenure? Didn't he move all the stadium shares into a separate shell company (Huddersfield Sporting Pride IIRC)? |

He was in Neil Kinnock's shadow cabinet as the deputy to Roy Hattersley (who was Shadow Home Secretary) and also Shadow Minister for Disabled People under John Smith but had no government positions when Labour won in 1997 and onwards. He was the chair of Education and Skills select committee for a number of years. And Davy moved Town's shares only, as far as I'm aware. I presume he was able to do that as he was the owner of Town at the time? |

Represented his constituents in the House of Commons for over 40 years. Which is literally his job. 40 years ago this was a proud and respected town, now it's a shithole and regularly (if not always) appears in the top 10 of worst places to live in the UK. I'll ask again, what has that man ever done for this town? So it's his fault ? My constituency is Colne Valley, we've got a self-serving hypocrite for an MP |

Ben won't know that Huddersfield actually have two MPs and the town is split into two constituencies. |

How do you know he doesn't? 🤔 If he does he's not doing a very good job of it. And back to the football, if someone isn't doing a very good job then they're replaced pretty sharpish. Not given 40 years to do not very much. Unfortunately though if you put a red rosette on a goldfish the good people of Kirklees will still vote it in. But my MP is a Tory c*** |

Make a difference, do something positive, contribute to making us proud to live here.Do you want to tell me what he's actually done rather than just tell me he's done his job because he turns up in the Commons? Like what? Name some examples instead of vague statements  I've told you what he's done, he's represented his constituents in the Commons which is literally his job. When he stands up in the Commons and asks questions, it's usually on his constituents' behalf. All MPs have case work, where the public go to them with problems and the MP will try and sort it out. You clearly have no idea what the job of an MP is. I wish we'd had this 'conversation' 40 years ago when I was deciding on which career path to take because if I'd known then that to earn upwards of £80k a year all I had to do was turn up at the Commons and ask a few questions and that would satisfy the likes of yourself that I was doing my job then I might have gone down that route |

I'd love to get paid for "Making a difference, doing something positive, contributing to making us proud to live here." whatever the fucking hell that means. |

What do you expect him to do? Can anyone actually give some examples of what he's supposed to have done to "stop Huddersfield being a shithole"? Speak up in the Commons occasionally? It's all well and good being an MP with one of the highest attendances, but if all you do is sit on the back benches and clap like a seal for whoever is your party leader you might as well not bother. Or he could just turn up to get selfies with Bozo, the Cowardly Liar like another MP who "represents" an area in Kirklees |

Ben won't know that Huddersfield actually have two MPs and the town is split into two constituencies. It's split into more that two- Denby Dale, Skelmanthorpe, most of HD8 is in the Dewsbury constituency. A large proportion of Town support are in Dewsbury or Batley & Spen. |

The stadium is a community asset and should be protected as so.
I’m absolutely staggered at how little is made of the fact that the shares are not in a trust as promised.

It is coming up to the fiftieth anniversary of the creation of Kirklees Council.
How should we mark this wonderful date- April 1 st next year.
I worked for both Dewsbury BC and Kirklees Council and since the formation of KC the changes to the town centre are staggering.
How Dewsbury and Batley have gone from thriving market towns to ,in Dewsbury’s case, a deserted boarded up waste land ,where only the brave dare venture.
It’s Shameful.

But Dewsbury and Batley are nothing to do with Huddersfield. They're towns in their own right, they just share a council area. But that's just rubbish. I'm from Lepton, my dad from Skelmanthorpe. We're Huddersfield born and bred, bugger all to do with Dewsbury, that's just where our MPs constituency is. If it was classed as an area of Huddersfield for constituency, it still wouldn't be Labour even with the former pit villages like Grange Moor. I live in Stockton on Tees. The Durham side north of the Tees votes a Labour MP in, the southern side (mostly) Ingleby, Yarm, Kirklevington etc generally a Tory. It's ridiculous that recognised parts of Huddersfield are considered part of a Dewsbury constituency. If Sheermans constituency consisted of more than basically the Town centre, he'd have been voted out years ago. |

Ted Heath should be the most reviled figure in history UK wise anyway. Counties that existed for a 1000 years nigh on, destroyed by an idiot. And no it doesn't matter how much they tell us they still exist. If you're authority that really only provides services tells you it's Greater Manchester, South Yorkshire, Merseyside then you grow up and believe that shit. |

I work in Batley carr, what a shithole, driving from work to home or vice versa, amount of taxis on the road is insane. And as for Ravensthorpe a bypass should have been built years ago. |
