“ More for the club” , I’ve been a paying supporter since 1965, our company paid over £160000 for a hospitality box over 20 years, supported and sponsored dinners, matches, player sponsorship, etc,etc. And I certainly , however upset by results or performance booed, walked out, and resorted to referring to players , owners, club officials , and other fellow supporters as “ shit” ,” shite” or pathetic and embarrassing , I think this may just qualify as doing “ more for the club” than someone who appears to have taken the mantel of “ Mr Huddersfield Town “ , and just exudes negativity .And your disparaging contempt of supporters showing appreciation for a performance as being “ part of the problem” defies rational comment, truly pathetic.Two words that sum you up. Plenty other people, in the last few weeks, have described the players as much worse than "shite" and yet you've said absolutely nothing. You're nowt more than a keyboard warrior, acting like an overgrown playground bully and all you've got to fall back on is, "I'm more intelligent than you". One of these days you might actually display that intelligence and post something constructive. Spot on. Post 50 Times a day and you may get a few likes now and then |

I think the point is that you nor anyone else (even Carmichael Dave) can tell anyone how they should react. If people want to boo they can, if others like me have small kids with them who think it’s good to teach respect, they can clap. We’re all grown men and women and should be left to deal with things in our own way. Don’t tell me to stay away. I’ll be there next season with my kids supporting my dad’s club. You don’t get to tell me otherwise. Thanks Your dad is Kev? Also it has nothing to do with respect. It has nothing to do with dealing with things not going our way. You're teaching you child that is is okay to be praised for minimul effort. However, booing isn't the answer either. Simply get up and leave and a little grumble to whoever you're with would be the best way. No - My dad supported this club for 60 years until he died. I’ll parent my kids how I wish. But thanks for the parental advice. |

When you are allowing 1 rule for one and another for others it is natural for conversations to get out of hand. Insults all over this board by certain posters and nothing gets done. We act in the main on reports of posts only, as we try not to be too overarching. When we do need to step in we try to keep it to a quick warning. We can’t and won’t act on every little spat, we don’t have the time and if we did, the forum would quickly fall apart. Well right now this board is full of people abusing club officials and some abusing other posters yet nothing has been done. Lots of us revieved warnings about comments towards a ref 2 weeks ago, much much worse has been said over the last couple of days. |

By heck you’re giving this a good go and digging in here! - Some people clapped - Some people walked off quietly not clapping or booing - Some people booed - Some people shouted absolute dog’s abuse. You’ve managed to turn these facts into lectures on child psychology! (Praying you’re not a child pyschologist but your logic makes no sense whatsoever.) Am also interested as to why if you’re so unhappy you didn’t actually do something to show your unhappiness like booing? What would your non-reaction to poor performance/service that you have paid for teach a child in this situation?! |

It wasn’t locked off as there was a discussion started, and no reason to intervene. Not every topic will be to everyone’s taste but that’s the nature of a forum sometimes. However, it has sunk into some increasingly childish insults so as I’ve have said above, if this doesn’t end then the thread will be locked off. If we locked or quarantined every thread where someone has an issue with whatever has been posted, we’d have very few threads left! Not sure if the OP intended to start a fight or if it was an honest question but the resulting arguments were entirely predictable given how high feelings were running and the amount of posters on here who could start a fight in an empty room. |

Imo, silence is the best form of action for these situation. |

I'm a massive Town fan, going back to 1962, just couldn't applaud the players, at the end of the Birmingham game - UTT.

Everyone has a right to clap if they want to, I did at the end I was however not clapping this season I was clapping a few things.
1, The effort against Birmingham in the game, I thought the effort was there.
2, The palyers who do care you can see who do and who dont and I think those ones still deserve a small clap.
3, Jonny Hogg, it might be the last chance we have to say thank you to him for his many years of service.
anyone who would not clap any of the above needs to give there head a shake.

I can actually get someone losing it and screaming abuse out of sheer frustration but making a conscious decision to boo just feels weird. In relation to the previous comment about reaction to poor performance/service I'd be interested in hearing about many other places that it would be acceptable to boo if you were upset with something....I'll try it next time my mcdonalds isn't quite hot enough...🤭🤭 |

Imo, silence is the best form of action for these situation. I really don't think its that deep. Its simply the easiest way to express disappointment to the players at full time if you so wish to do so (short of running on the pitch and getting banned). Silence simply does not convey that disappointment. |

I didn’t applaud. I just left at final whistle like I have all season. Doing a lap of honour to an empty stadium was what the players and co deserved. I can’t actually remember the last time I applauded this group of players tbh.

Supporting a football team is a bit like having a child - unconditional love.
They might not always do as you would like, they might occasionally be lazy or rude.
Some might even commit a crime or do something that is really embarrassing.
BUT - pretty much no matter what they do we still love them. UTT and lets hope next season they spend less time on the 'naughty step'

At the risk of parrotting myself rockwall, we act in the main on reported posts. We don't go seeking to admonish people. If posts are reported where people feel the rules have been broken, we will look at them and take action as necessary. We can't be fairer than that. |

I didn't stay to clap them, but I have no issues with anyone who did. Some of those players won't be seen at the JSS playing for us again. And some of them deserve at least the chance to say goodbye.

Feelings are definitely running high right now and no doubt will for some time, totally understandable. As always though, (not aimed at you @bluesandtwos btw) but folk need to consider if they would issue the same insults face to face as they do behind a keyboard. We all know the answer to that.  |

Let's just say that it was in very bad taste considering the level of bile aimed at that particular referee that weekend, regardless of their performance. The ban was an accumulation of cards also, not just for that one post. |

It allows certain posters to be targeted by people reporting them constantly yet others say far worse and nothing is reported. |

However if we begin ‘ambulance chasing’ then we will drive people away. That is not what we want to achieve, so there has to be a level of self-policing by people, thinking before posting. We do routinely remind folks about abuse of club staff, and encourage the reporting of posts that cross the line. |

Hoyle could’ve sold to someone from the sales process in the first place He chose not to - and decided to sell to Phil who owned a business which could possibly fail following market reforms announced before Hoyle sold to Phil Hoyle either (a) he didn’t do his due diligence - eg the whiplash reforms were introduced 2018 before he sold. Unlikely for a successful businessman (b) he did his due diligence and despite this still decided to sell to Phil knowing his business could fail given new laws / market reforms Grateful Hoyle stepped in - but stepped into a situation he risked by selling to Phil (and given structure of sale with step in right / trust he perhaps anticipated - see point b!) You have no concrete proof that anyone else was interested, it was merely speculation . Are you suggesting Dean Hoyle lied? “I have run a full sales process and there was serious interest in the Club from around the world” www.htafc.com/news/2019/may/club-statement-dean-hoyle/ |

I wasn't there, but I'd have definately clapped Michal Helik off, knowing it would probably be his last game at home.
And Hogg, for all he has done over the years and not knowing if he'ĺl be playing next season.
Maybe even Rudoni for trying.
The rest, sod 'em.

I have tagged you in a comment on another thread. Can I ask why castlehill is allowed to carry on posting his bollocks? Wasn’t he warned to stop making up rumours which he does every time he posts again, pretending he has contacts at the club? Porrohman was a good poster. While CHT can derail every thread, which we all know he did in January and summer, pretending to know Darren Moore and now he knows Jake edwards. Maybe you’ll have more information on his account which I am not privy to, so if you do I apologise. |
