Welcome to Premier League Huddersfield

[snortingfrogs]

What a great penalty shootout it was.

Congrats Huddersfield on winning promotion to the Premier League.

 

[SALTIRE]

Indeed, there's a lot to like about this Huddersfield side. Congratulations and welcome to the topflight.

 

[Bilo]

Welcome up!

 

[Benji]

Well done Huddersfield, I hope they stay up. Wagner has done a wonderful job so far.

 

[Dirk]

Congratulations to Huddersfield Town and Manager David Wagner. Back in the top flight after 45 years.

 

[Nilsson]

Well done Huddersfield, welcome to the Promised Land.

Muchas gracias in advance for the six points next season.

 

[Stevencc]

Boo.

Wanted Sheffield Wednesday.

 

[SALTIRE]

Muchas gracias in advance for the six points next season.

You should be so lucky.

This was the League One table in 2011:

1. Brighton - 95 pts
2. Southampton - 92 pts
3. Huddersfield - 87 pts

Good to see our two third tier promotion rivals now up here.

That's a cool stat. Hope they do well, both of them.

Aside from that, Huddersfield didn't exactly impress in the playoff (they didn't win a game) and from what I've seen they're not very good to be fair. Maybe they ran out of steam but they got over the line so fair play to them.

A new unfashionable team into the league..

Those sleeping giants must hate it!

Another overseas manager comes in and takes a team up..

Heads in hands from the FA and LMA.

 

[HtfcWArrior]

Well... hello there

 

[Costello]

Welcome Hudders. Another club who've been out the top flight for a while that could add something a bit different/new.

Also Yorkshire's sole representative in the PL! Nuts.

 

[KevinMcallister]

we'll never get here

fuck you all!

 

[AFCB_Mark]

Welcome Huddersfield, another club for the entitled ones to look down their noses at!

Enjoyed several trips to their gaff. Memorably, the playoff penalty defeat the year we finished just below the table Harv put up. Danny Ings and all. Still bitter about Kilbane pushing the ref on a yellow card

Also, getting absolutely smashed at a delightful beer festival in town, before our side smashed them on the opening day a few years back.

I'm sure I'll make it back up there for another go next season, it's a nice ground.

Off the top of my head, I can't name a single Huddersfield player.

Off the top of my head, I can't name a single Huddersfield player.

Danny Ward is there on loan from us. You must know Dean Whitehead, the really ugly looking fella who was stealing a living at Sunderland a few years back. And Stoke, I forgot about that.

The rest aren't marquee, no ...

 

[Relentless]

Wonder if they'll loan the two lads from us again.

 

[genesimmons]

Best of luck to them. After following the shite the north east pro clubs have to offer I like the underdogs. Huddersfield v the likes of man u will be interesting viewing. They will also be newcastles derby which is a bad sign for north east football

Is it true they have won the league more times than Man City and Spurs??

Hello Premier League forum! Thanks for the messages, I just can't believe what I'm reading, as I've just said on the Championship forum I never thought this was possible for us with the game being dictated more and more by finances these days. But ours and Leicester's recent fairytales have shown that anything is possible if you keep the spirit and hard work. Sometimes it can be that simple. Our nickname of the Terriers is really quite apt to our style at the moment, Wagner loves it and has used it many times.

Totally understand why it's hard to see us not going straight back down at the moment, as I'm sure you all understand why we don't care about that at all just yet! I'd maybe compare us to a bit of Burnley and a bit of Bournemouth. We're a quite a similar club to Burnley, small northern town with a small population but very well run and a good history in the game. With Bournemouth we've had that similar promotion season inspired by a young manager with new ideas, brilliant team spirit and togetherness, and I can see us having a few frustrating games where we dominate but get punished by teams with more quality, I remember watching Bournemouth lose 1-0 to Newcastle in their first season here, it was crazy that they didn't score and I thought they were doomed after that, but just as we did this season, they stuck together and got over the line.

That's the hope we have, because I can guarantee we'll give it a damn good go. Wagner was Klopp's best man and they have similar styles, high fitness and pressing. Our reserves took a strong City side to a replay in February but we never put 10 men behind the ball, that's just not us. It's just whether we have the quality. We have a lot of work to do this summer, our keeper, centre mid that makes us tick, and two attacking mids are all on loan. But amidst all the controversy of football ownership these days, you won't find a set of fans that trusts their boardroom like we do. Every department of our club is filled with genuine people that care for the community and always communicate. The town is buzzing, merchandise everywhere, it's like what I imagine the country would be like if England were every good in a tournament!

You'll probably hear quite a bit about our owner Dean Hoyle, he really is the dream owner. Supported us in the stands since the 70's, started a small card shop in Wakefield when he was younger and recently sold it (Card Factory) for £350m I think it was.
In early 2008 when we lost 2-1 at home to Southend, it felt like the club has no identity or purpose, we were heading back to League Two. Dean said it was then that he knew he had to step in even though he had no experience at all of the football business. He's never overspent, has always been classy as fuck and stayed a fan (check out his emotions on Monday) and here we are 9 years later. A fucking dream. It's gonna be fun!

Great stuff.

The pride and spirit you mention is crucial. There will inevitably be some pastings against the sides with top class clinical attacks. It's very easy to get down and negative after string of them. Indeed I think that's a big part of the reason why bigger, more entitled clubs end up going down. Their higher expectations mean they get arsey after a couple of big defeats, get on the players backs, that feeds back into the club, and the negativity breeds. Looks how dour Moyes and Karanka got on.

Relentless positivity is definitely worth a few wins. Even after a month where you've played Chelsea Spurs and Man City on the spin and lost them all 4-0. When you can shrug those results off and come back the next week against more winnable opposition, right up for it and bouncing again.

Huddersfield are a proper football club. Deep rooted history in football and one far better than a number of current Premier League clubs. Thoroughly thrilled they have come up. Nice club, nice fans, proper club, nothing plastic about it unlike another promoted club I could mention.

 

[TubularBells]

Absolutely bob on Ankle Biter. Welcome to back where you belong mate. Younger fans may not appreciate that you won the title three years in succession and indeed are a club steeped in history at the top table. I am bloody delighted to see you come up. Really looking forward to our games against you. Proper fans as well!

 

[TubularBells]

Is it true they have won the league more times than Man City and Spurs??

The Terriers have won it three years on the bounce. City have won it four times. As an addendum, just out of interest. Huddersfield have won the league more times than Spurs. Spurs have won the title the same number of times as Burnley and West Ham have never won it. So perspectives on club achievements and size can be skewed.
