"Major Announcement"

Giants open doors for ‘major announcement’

Monday 11th August 08
Huddersfield Giants will grant free admission for their next home game, when the club say they will be making the “most important announcement” in their modern history.

Intrigue surrounds the decision of the Giants to waive admission prices for Saturday night’s home engage Super League match against high-flying Catalans Dragons.

Chairman Ken Davy said: “There is no catch to this one-off offer. Put simply, I will be making an major announcement at the half-time break which I expect to go down as probably the biggest announcement in the club’s modern-day history.

“In order to ensure that as many people get the news first hand we are cancelling all admission charges and making the game free of charge for all.

“This news has already caused a stir in the club offices and I expect that effect to be multiplied many times over in the local community.”

Davy, who is also chairman of football club Huddersfield Town, earlier this year announced cut-price season-tickets for the stadium partners which resulted in more than 16,000 sales for the new soccer season.

Any ideas as to what this could be???

Could be anything;

- Nathan Brown is new head coach

- Brett Hodgson is their new messiah

- new owners

- relocation/merger/name change

- alliance with local soccer/RU club

- they have signed SBW

- discounted season tickets for 2009 or packages with RU/soccer season tickets

This quote on the website:

I would urge anyone with an interest in sport in the area to come along to the match and watch a great game and hear an announcement that they will never forget.

Leads me to think it will be an alliance with another sport. Though if it is I think he might be overselling it. If it was something involving the AMNRL that would be pretty cool.

Whatever it is, I am going to pop online as soon as I get up Sunday morning to find out what it is. Very intriguing.


Of course, I've been let down before. A few years back I was at Kogarah, before the game they were promising a groundbreaking moment in half-time entertainment. Turns out it was just a "SMS your name for your chance to win $500" competition. Jipped!

Typical Doust for you...

Chances are it will be an announcement about new leisure facilities being built around the stadium. Nothing really exciting.

But they told me it would be an announcement I would never forget!

Do you really think that the club would let everyone in for free to hear the most important announcement in history, and it would be that they had signed Todd Carney?

They've found a cure for Alzheimers and Dementia?

 

[aarondoyle]

Lockyer?

 

[ucantseeme]

Lockyer?

Now that would be a major announcement. Australian Captain and one of the world's best players. He should stay in the NRL though. Way too much class to play in ESL.

 

[joshreading]

They have brought the Bradford Bulls and will be the Northern Giant Bulls playing out of huddersfield

 

[roughyedspud]

you might not be a million miles away there josh....not bradford though...think of another field ;-)

 

[East Coast Tiger]

They've found a cure for Alzheimers and Dementia?

That will probably benefit a few of their players.

Was talking with one of the players and one of the main sponsors last night and they both of them said it was £80 season tickets next year.

Could be something else though....

 

[Azkatro]

I can see it now ...

"AND THE ANNOUNCEMENT IS ..... YOU HAVE TO PAY IN ORDER TO LEAVE!"

 

[bartman]

Latest rumour is a share offer, where fans can become owners/partners of the club...

Hence the free entry for fans to kick it off?

 

[Henson Park Hornets]

you might not be a million miles away there josh....not bradford though...think of another field ;-)

They're going to move to Spotland as cotenants with the Hornets?

 

[roughyedspud]

at least huddersfield would pay the rent at spotland :lol:


but seriously... i was on about a merger with "another field"...it's not that cryptic is it? huddersfield & ****field ;-)
