1. Will go to the HOLDER of the ticket. Whomever bought it 2. Early halftime announcement 3. Wait till we introduce halftime baby races next season Time for a change of announcer too. Sailing close to the wind is amusing at times, but one day will land the club in hot water. Also, the number of times incorrect Substitutes have been announced is embarassing. Totally agree with this. |

I entered a competition to win a remote control car on Saturday Superstore. The winner was someone with my exact name from LEEDS...I assumed they just said Leeds because nobody would know what Huddersfield was and was convinced I'd won. Not entered a competition since, and have had an irrational dislike of Mike Read since that day. Which Mike was it - the stand up who became Frank Butcher or the Dj who became a complete nutjob with his UKIP calypso? ] The one I said - there's only ever been one Mike Read on Saturday Superstore. Mike Reid with the different spelling was on Crackerjack or Runaround or whatever it was called...the one where kids fought each other to grab a prize, a bit like Town v Brum on Saturday. |

Not life, or season changing, but if anybody is negative about this they should give their head a wobble. Certainly agree with you, end of the day a crap season, had plenty in my time and will probably have a few more, hand on heart how many fans on here thought after the 2012 promotion we would have had 2 seasons in the prem also?. Supporting this club is not good for the health, hopefully this new owner will turn it around time will tell, think Jeremy Kyle should do a HTFC special show for DATM subscribers☺☺ |

Great idea but not sure a fan turning up for the first time this season should have the same chance of winning as those who go every game If someone is turning up for the first time this season, on Saturday...they DESERVE a prize. |

Jesus Christ. How to get relegated and lose any remaining dignity. I'm actually baffled. What the fuck is happening to this club? Kids having fun what's the problem. Maybe one day they'll become ultras |

I liked that competition we had for abit where you had to kick a football into a shed and in if you did it you won the shed. Take a look up to the corner of the "No Longer A Swimming Pool End Upper Tier" on Saturday...they've moved the shed to give our players a greater chance of winning.  |

I can’t believe folk are getting worked up over this. It’s just a gesture, some folks will have some nice surprises as a result. It’s not glossing over how bad the season has been, I suspect action will come about that. At least the owner is putting ideas and initiatives out there. As mosher said you can’t please everyone all the time. If you don’t like it fine, but Jesus wept, there are bigger things to bitch about than a prize draw. I highly doubt Kev etc will have postponed any inquest into the season in order to ensure a few air fryers or Xboxes are chucked out on Saturday, nor will they think it will veil over the on field failings. The club are trying new ideas out, communicating, they’ve had a lot of criticism for a lack of both these areas in recent times. And what if, just humour me here, what if we win on Saturday? And results go for us? Could be a great day. I know there’s the complete opposite possible too. Exactly, it's a good gesture, no1 will complain if they win and get a free a bit of technology will be a happy day!!, Mr N can give me 67 inches if he wants!! |

At least it’s cheaper than the golden gamble tickets and the prizes are mostly better… Who’s going to be bold enough to post back on here if they win something and we’re relegated by 5PM? 🤔🤔 I can also understand why they’ve not put a Town season ticket in the prizes as well… 😉 Or is it because the prizes are from E Buyer, so I suppose a Barnsley ST would be more apt? I’ll get me coat… I was a regular E Buyer in the late 80’s/early 90’s. Weren’t we all? |

I remember when there was a massive rumour that Swap Shop was coming to Greenhead Park? Loads of kids turned up with shit, including a mate of mine who turned up with his chess set! I’m sure there was a picture of sad kids in the examiner holding up their toys. |

Really think inviting 100's of children to the game for free is probably not a great idea considering that it is going to be quite a toxic and unsavoury atmosphere if what we are all expecting to happen, happens.
There's going to be alot of vocally and visibly unhappy regular supporters in that ground come 5PM and I dunno if I'd want to take kids along to experience it.

Fans: We’ve had an incredibly shit season where just about everything has gone wrong. Terrible decisions by the owner and the senior leadership team at the Club. Appalling performances on the pitch. Little to zero entertainment for large swathes of the season.
Club: Never mind! Here’s some clapper shite and we are having a half time draw.
Fans: Great! What a fabulous gesture!
This is FUCKING BONKERS!!! 😂😂😂

Kids having fun what's the problem. Maybe one day they'll become ultras More likely be scarred for life. It’s not going to be a pleasant afternoon if things go askew… Football must be oh so different in the States. Like going to the pictures or something. C4 Dispatches, January 2035. Jayden isn’t his real name… “It all started around 2PM. There were these inflatable sausage things. Then some footballers came out of a tunnel and for 90 minutes all I could hear were people around me booing and swearing. It perked up for 5 mins when the players must have gone for a sit down or something. Someone jumped out from the crowd and they took away a massive telly. Then the players came back out from the same tunnel and then sank to their knees after the match finished, the few people who were still left in the ground were throwing some little plastic things onto the pitch. It might have been a coke bottle top, but someone said they banned that sort of behaviour a while ago. Anyway, the last few years I’ve not been able to watch another game of football, or visit a stadium for fear of the same thing happening. Some grown ups who were there were saying things like “FFS 2001 again”, amongst many other expletives. Thankfully my parents introduced me to fire eating which feels like a far safer pastime than watching Huddersfield Town. I only hope my story gets other youngsters who were there on that fateful day, to share their experience, and not suffer in silence” Hopefully that doesn’t happen and we somehow spawn a more successful outcome… 🤞 |
