As someone who follows both huddersfield codes it has not escaped my attention that the stadium share issue has raised its ugly head again with no deal yet concluded it seems to me from the outside that there maybe some danger to the giants position as stadium partner if a successful deal is not concluded. anyone got any thoughts, views information?

Ken owns everything doesn't he ...no danger to the giants just town fans rearing their bitterness towarss him again

Hope

S

i thought that the stadium sharing with premier league teams and rugby was going to be banned very shortly which will put wigan in a difficult situation

carnt see this ever happening to be honest, but if it did then wigan athletic would have to move lol..

Its a bit naive to think that it wont affect the giants if ksdl fails or the major shareholding becomes dominated by the football. KSDL depends on the football revenue because giants dont generate enough crowds or revenue from 13 games to make the stadium profitable. If the balance of power shifts the consequences for the giants wil be serious which is why i raised it as an important topic. Giants fans should at least be aware and not think everything will just be alright because ken davey has sorted everything for the last 15 yrs, time may be running out

It is an important topic.Where have you heard that KSDL are going to fail.



Sorry to contradict you but it's my understanding that ksdl do not rely on association football revenue or RL revenue,as both clubs just pay a fixed rental agreement to use the stadium,regardless of crowd numbers attending or any profit made by either code.



The 40% share in ksdl was never removed from the bankrupt association football club,they were just transferred into a holding company by the new clubs owner Ken Davy,a business decision he was perfectly entitled to make.After all if you buy a bankrupt sports club and have to pay off it's debts,like for example Sir Ken did out of his own pocket for unpaid wages to the soccer players of £1.4 million then you also take on any assets like the soccer shares in KSDL,which were valued at the time at just £2 by the administrator against possible default of the £7 million borrowed by ksdl to build the north stand.This was of course in the days before Ken Davy had anything to do with the running of ksdl.KSDL were taken over by Sir Ken at the same time he took over at Town,both failed companies then.



Not sure why you believe time is somehow running out for the Giants.

If D.Hoyle has the shares in his name as Town owner,then they are still worthless until KSDL start making profit.Until someone makes KSDL profitable the bloody shares of both codes in that company are worthless.Maybe Hoyle will take over as head man/decision maker of ksdl from KD and then they will start making millions.

If Hoyle takes over from KD as chairman of ksdl & is brilliant at making big money for KSDL,fine by me as the Giants are entitled to 20% return (after any debt is paid off)

You traitor what about your home town teams eh???

Come down the Shay where you see fans with some real passion not Ken Davy's plastic army!

naughty naughty.



See you blue & white hordes on the 29th of Jan when the Infirmary Cup will once again be ours.

Once again, its not like you have always won it is it???



Nah I cannot stand glory fans, people should support their hometown team in rugby league.

Well lets get real it isn't as if Town are going to be in the Premier league next year or any time soon. They are a third division regular side where there is one outstanding team Charlton and four more Sheff Utd, Sheff Weds, MKD and Town who will fill places 2,3,4 and 5 and on current form with what their own message board posters admit is a defence that lacks pace and a manager that lacks creative vision in his team selection Town will most likely be in the play offs something as yet they haven't shown an ability to get through recently.



Mindst if Dean Hoyle wants to payout £15/£25 million to buy out the Giants, I would point out that the Town posters talk about Dean Hoyle getting his shares back not HTAFC which would worry the '' out of me, there is a lovely old traditional patch of grass down Spaines Road way that would look good with four new stands around it !!



Getting back to reality the football in recent years where the linesmen run and goalmouths has caused far more damage than anything the RL has done to the Galpharm pitch and anyone who watched Wigan v Liverpool the other night would have seen where all the damage was coming from at the DW.... the football as clumps of grass were been hacked out all over the field and it looked like a farmers field at the end... as the classier footballers of Liverpool pointed out as the reason for them not beating Wigan. !!



In summary both Huddersfield sports teams need to play in the Galpharm to make it work and there has also been a lack of concerts or anything else in recent years that would add the additional revenue stream for any one of the three partners to force a team out although Spaines Road way would be my dream !! but alas dream it wil bel forever remain !!
