I'm starting this thread again because it seems to have been a casualty of the change over to the new site. The Terriers scecured another away win last night at Burton. Two wins in a row now after a barren spell. It'll all go pear shaped on Friday when we go to Norwich because the game is to be televised , we haven't won on the telly for ages.

Well it seems that I know absolutely nothing about football. I was convinced three or four weeks ago that we would be playing in League 1 next season, but after beating the Baggies this evening it would appear that we're all but safe.

A great win for the Terriers. Really it was 2-0 not 2-1 their goal was offside and the free kick from which they "scored" was the result of a blatant piece of diving.

Still UTT Rog⚽️

It was remiss of me yesterday not congratulate Leeds on their promotion to the greedy league. It's well deserved, they've been the best team in the Championship this season . So well done .

It was ironic that the Terriers helped with the final Leeds push. Reminded me of the time Liverpool beat King Kennys Rovers to give the dreaded Man U a sniff at winning the league. 

Honesty had its reward in both games.👏

I suppose that was the downside for a lot of Town supporters but to be fair Leeds deserve their moment of glory. 

What did annoy me was the coverage given to this on Football Focus yesterday. You'd have thought that they'd won the World Cup the Champion's League and the Grand National!

I know they've had a good year on the grass and sadly  three of their good old players have died this year, but people forget that Trevor Cherry played for us too and his loss was keenly felt in Huddersfield.

One of my golfing buddies was so brassed off when Town sold Cherry to Leeds that he swore he wouldn't watch them anymore, and he's stuck to that for all these years since !

Yorkshiremen can be a stubborn lot!

Any road up we're safe now. Luton can catch us on points but their goal difference is far worse.

Pass me the smelling salts!

I've  just heard that the idiots in charge of Town have sacked the Cowley brothers.

What a set of 🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡

Yes, congrats from me, too.

(still have nightmares about a match at Elland Road though, 1960something, totally horrible, swore I’d never go anywhere near the place again and haven’t) 😱

Yes it's not a nice place to go and some of their supporters should be kept in cages!

Apparently on Friday when they gathered to celebrate some of them were jumping up and down on cars. Some of the more responsible supporters are raising money to pay for the damage and went on Saturday to clear up the rubbish left by their more yobbish comrades 

Rumour has it that the Cowleys were sacked because they had been talking to another club about leaving Town and working for them. The smart money is on the Brizzles (Bristol City)

Favourite for the Town job is the Assistant Manager at Leeds, Carlos Coberan. One thing is for certain life is never dull supporting HTAFC

A photo in the newspaper shows Fulham players and presumably captain holding a trophy aloft after defeating Brentford.

Do the team that finish second in the league get a trophy or is it just First and Third? Strange to give a trophy to a team finishing third. Was it bought at Poundland?

It does seem a bit strange to reward the play off winners and not the team in the second automatic place. Perhaps it's because they have to play three more matches.

When Town were promoted that way they gave supporters the opportunity to have a photo with the trophy. I took my grandson and his pal to have theirs taken  and it is quite a handsome trophy, certainly not from poundland 😀

Not commenting upon the previous two posts about 'Trophys' grrr yell

At last there was some live footy at Gresty Road yesterday but, sadly, coming second with some dodgy finishing frown. Still cannot grumble going down 2 -- 0 to some ex-championship pot hunters wink and even so not at the very bottom due to the lovely English Language  laughing
