Forum support for reserve tests

-

And what about all the publicity and banners around the town advertisin­g HTFC? Why aren’t the Giants doing the same? Another simple answer – Money. Town have been given millions of pounds for their venture at the highest level. We (the Giants) need 10,000 fans just to break even.

When questioned about matchdays, Brian held his hand up and said that Friday for home matches was largely down to him.

It was far easier to market commercial­ly on a Friday night than a Sunday afternoon.

And he lambasted the idea that families could no longer attend because of their children. Youngsters manage to watch Town in midweek even with school the day after.

Friday night matches mean that families can have two whole days together instead of one and a bit.

I’m sure that you will appreciate that space prevents a fuller account of this perenniall­y successful gathering.

The Fans’ Forum is just one event where we try and put club officials in front of you, the supporters.

In the past six weeks you have had the opportunit­y to question Rick Stone and Richard Thewlis, as well as last week’s panel.

In February it will be Sean Folan (head of Youth Recruitmen­t) who will be in the spotlight.

Steady on ladies, March will see Jake Mamo in attendance!

And for the fans of yesteryear, Wally Gibson will be joining us in April.

Who’s Wally Gibson? Just ask anyone who watched Fartown in the 90s and see their reaction!

And finally, thanks to brearley84 of RLFans who pointed out that in the dying minutes of the World Cup Final, the pass to Jerry was called as forward.

When you’re in a room full of shouting fans and don’t hear any replays, I suggest that my comments were an easy mistake to make!
