Huddersfield Away

[BrightonRed]

Not sure if it'll help anyone.. possibly london based reds.. but London Midland are offering unlimited travel on their trains for £10 13-21 February.. They seem to go as far as stoke/crewe/liverpool etc..
It'd be a round-about route but fuck it, it could work out cheap..

Haven't looked into it in too much depth as I'm not going..

Cheers already got mine though £27 return from manchester. If anyone does go spur of the moment, the Manchester/Huddersfield return leg is also £10

Unfortunately, I can't go, but if I was, I'd be drinking in this pub.

I've never been, but if anyone goes let me know if it's any good.

Can't wait for this one now. Never been to Huddersfield before, hope we have good support!

Terriers fan in peace here!

Really looking forward to this one! I notice some of you don't have many positive things to say about previous visits to the Galpharm which is surprising because most fans for other clubs usually do! Apart from the stereotypical up- t'north jibes I would expect you to have a fairly good time up here. I'd say our fans are pretty friendly and like to chat and exchange views with away fans too. The only time we get trouble here is when away fans come looking for it and show no respect! Generally though it's fine!

Our recent drop in home form has meant the atmosphere has dropped quite a bit mainly because we were winning games 7-1, 6-0 and 5-0 etc and since the goals have been harder to come by, the crowd has lost some of it's voice. That said, I wouldn't say we're 'happy clappy', so much as we we tend to muck about with the Mexican wave because we're bored. Post-Modern irony of the Yorkshire kind!

I wouldn't read too much into what most of the miserable sods on here say AT, they are all Leonard Cohen advocates '). I'm looking forward to it, any recommended bus routes back to the station after the game? I'm normally a liitle "tired and emotional" come final whistle. Tomorrow is what football tension is really about, could go either way imo, should be a cracking game.

It really is a short walk to the station (10 mins) and by the time you've waited for a bus in all the traffic you could have been up to the station and on your train.

Have a safe journey! I notice you mention calling at the 'Head of Steam', the one at the other end of the station forecourt called the Kings Head is very good too. It's has a sign with Jimi Hendrix on it!

As far as I know there's not really a designated 'away fans pub/s' full stop. I suppose the Market Tavern on Leeds Road used to be a place where the fuzz would guide away fans to but I'm not sure these days. Our fans tend to booze in the town centre and arrive at the Stadium 10/15 minutes to kick off, so if there's a large away following most of the pubs near the ground are full of away fans.

Best places for a sensible, non-confrontational drink are the ones I've mentioned above plus one of two others, which I'll post if you're interested.

OK but where are the best places for a confrontational drink? For example if people are reading this and fancy taking over "your pub" and potentially instigating a ruck where should they head for?

I don't recommend you 'kicking-off' anywhere mate! - Yorkshire men everywhere, strong in't arm and thick in't head!

Cant see us taking more than 250, and 100 of those will be the dribblers on the coaches.

Have you got any dribblers in your team then?
