I have the perfect solution... The strap line could be changed to something like... Huddersfield Town From the Town of Huddersfield

I swear some folks are simply happier being unhappy! Who gives a flying fig? It's a corporate strap line designed surely to professionalise and improve the marketability of the club........no more no less. Does it ruin our heritage? Have the club sold our soul? Have they chuff Ok to many it's a bit naff, and in some instances a bit over the top, but if that's all we have to moan about thank The Lord...............after all we could be run by papa smurf, an eccentric Italian who thinks his coach is at school or maybe some overseas ego maniac who sees themselves as investor, manager, striker and mouthpiece all in one! Smile fellas....the seasons nearly with us, and if come may we go down and the football is as turgid as last seasons second half then folks will really have something to really moan about!

Didn't the Yorkshire thing come about due to out links with Yorkshire Building Society??

I doubt that it's meant to do anything for current fans, but it's a bit more inviting for those on the fence.
There's a large volume of casual football fans who'll catch occasional games and I'd imagine it's a play to build their loyalty and grow our stagnant attendances. It won't make or break the attendance growth but it's a platform to build on at least. Now all we need is Leeds to implode and undo the support gained from their recent history... oh wait that's currently happening. Perhaps sign the star player from a yorkshire rival? Yep done that too.
Maybe it would be better if we did a Rubery by handing over big contracts and assuming the attendances would rise? Then each week have a pop in the match programme about a lack of support? Talk about preaching to the converted...
I think people are just grasping for something to moan about to be honest, it's really not something for true fans to be concerned with. Back the club you support and help spread the word about what a great time it is to be a town fan.

Huddersfield Town We're Yorkshire! If we did have to have some kind of slogan, this one would be more palatable and less cringing, it's factually correct.

Anyone see that Town programme this year on Hudds
One of the most historical and proud Towns in the north of England
Yes we are only medium size in support terms. But the greatest yorkshire club IMO.

I can't be arsed reading the whole thread, but Smithfield is bang on the money. What's equally, if not more embarrassing, is all this NSL bobbins. Utterly contrived nonsense. This place would be having a field day if Drabford or Leeds were having to virtually bribe people with cheap tickets to go behind a goal and co-ordinate some kind of atmosphere at their own ground. Laughable.

Laughable. This is fan led and helped by the club, not the other way round. The seats have always been cheapest in the FML for obvious reasons (same with the RL club.) 10 minutes into the game there was a chant that proved what I've said all along as to why the North Stand is not the right stand for the home end. We'd be singing, chanting etc from around 10 minutes before kick off for about 20 minutes solid and then there was a bit of a lull in the singing then as clear as day from the other end of the ground the Bournemouth fans were singing "Can you hear the Huddersfield sing?" So if after 20 minutes solid singing and chanting they couldn't hear us what's it going to be like later in the season as fan numbers dwindle in that stand? My only reason for hoping the NSL initiative is a runaway success is that once that section of the ground is sold out week on week and there's a huge demand to go there that it then brings unbearable pressure on the club and KSDL to find a workable solution that will ultimately give us the South Stand. That said, the only reason the club are happy at this latest fan led initiative to create a proper home end in the NS Lower is that it diverts attention away from the perennial South Stand issue.

Correct. We want the South Stand as our "home" end.

Laughable. Ok so yesterday's result and the clubs image are an embarrassment because of the NSL? First of all as Tog said, the NSL is a fan lead initiative. The club watch on and tell us what we can and can't do. At no stage has the club ever run or organised the NSL. 10 lads who wanted to make a differance to the match day atmosphere for the better of the other 10k fans know full well the FML is not the answer but it's a start. How many times does it need saying, we will not be able to get the south stand without the demand. We've been given the FML, we will fill it and we will improve the atmosphere. Clowns like you have this thing in your head that the ground absolutely rocks and it's as close to a galatasary atmosphere as you can get. Our stadium is mostly a morgue. Do you know how many man hours, all for no pay and all on there expense took to organise that 90 minutes? This club at times has a bad smell and it comes from negative jokers like you, I'm a supporter of the future of my club and I won't let you or any other doubter/hater get in the way of improving the atmosphere. Think you have all the answers? Come to the next NSL meet and we'll be all ears, Einstein.

It's part of life that people disagree on things. If someone criticises what you're doing it must mean that it's generating some exposure for it to get people's attention. Like you said yourself there's been a lot of man hours involved doing your thing. Surely it would be more beneficial keeping your man hours doing what you believe in and not getting so worked up every time says something about the NSL you might not agree with. Life's too short.

I went in there mainly to give my 14 year old lad the experience...we're away next few games, but I know exactly which part of the ground we'll be buying our next tickets, and cant wait to see how it develops in there over the intervening weeks.

My problem with it smithy is it's not constructive criticism, it's bollocks and if he wants to share his opinions he should do at the next NSL meet.

NSL should been seen as a positive - it's fan led and can only benefit the atmosphere in the stadium :-)

Who gives a toss what the Bournemouth fans can hear? Those in there know what it was like, and DESPITE EVERYTHING, it was a rip roaring success. I went in there mainly to give my 14 year old lad the experience...we're away next few games, but I know exactly which part of the ground we'll be buying our next tickets, and cant wait to see how it develops in there over the intervening weeks. Yes, in the NS Lower it was a roaring success on the day but the whole idea is to create an atmosphere THROUGHOUT the ground. If we can't be heard in the South Stand on a summer's day in the middle of August then we're going to struggle to get heard in the farthest parts of the ground come autumn and winter when the wind is blowing in our faces. Plus one game doesn't it make it a success, it has to be maintained and built on so fingers crossed it will be.

However, whilst that might be some of the NSL movers and shakers goal, its certainly not mine. As a fan with my own viewpoint I dont really care whether theres an atmosphere throughout the stadium, I'm not bothered if theres a knitting circle holding meetings in the Riverside Upper...I just want to enjoy being at a game of football. Yesterday, I did that, and my lad did that. And having got fed up of going over the last few years, he wants to go back...despite the performance on the pitch.
