What is #ScarvesUpForFartown and where is Block 7?

The HGSA (Huddersfield Giants Supporters Association) are delighted to announce that in an effort to try improve the matchday atmosphere at the John Smiths Stadium, there is to be a trial period of three games to try and get as many likeminded, vocal supporters congregated together as one, like Elland Road and Tottenham.

There are many supporters dotted around the stadium who we are told refrain themselves due to the respect for others around them, this trial will enable those fans to be around others who prefer a noisier scene.

There are a number of seats identified in block 7, rows MM -GG, seats 164-180 of the Chadwick Lawrence (Kilner Bank) which have no season card holders at the moment therefore have been chosen as the place to congregate.

Huddersfield Giants Supporters Association are asking all fans to dig out scarves, flags and banners again and bring them to the next few games, we want to create a sea of claret and gold in the stands for our next home game.

The idea being that fans hold up scarves and flags as the team comes out and as the game kicks off whilst singing along to "Can't help falling in love" and also during the game and hopefully build up the level of support, vocally and visually in the run up to the play offs and beyond!
