Ken Davy has issued the following to all Giants supporters

“All good wishes to you and your families for the coming year, as we look forward to the new Betfred Super League Season starting with Warrington at the John Smith's Stadium at 3pm on Sunday 16th February.  

"Before that, in just over a week we have a mouth-watering warm up game with Bradford Bulls on Saturday 18th which we hope will feature Giants legend, and current captain of the Bulls, Michael Lawrence facing off for the first ever time against his good friend Leroy Cudjoe which will be an occasion for both to remember. 

"The game kicks off at 3pm and in addition to the clash of the modern day Giant legends we’ll also see a number of our new signings in action. 

"I would also like to update you on our discussions regarding the 'Shay'.  I announced last year, that we were exploring the temporary use of the Shay with Calderdale Council and their latest press release on the issue is available to view here.

"I will be saying more about all of this at the seasons opening  Luncheon on the 17th January (a limited number of places still available email commercial@giantsrl.com). In advance of that however, I would like to share with you that if, and presently it's a big 'if', we acquire the Shay, it would be as a temporary home for the Giants until our hoped for new stadium in Huddersfield can be built.  

"As such, the Shay would be totally upgraded to full Super League standards. This would involve extensive renovations and improvements to every aspect, from enhanced facilities for supporters, right through to state-of-the-art floodlighting and TV facilities and a new pitch.

"In addition, as you would expect, we will be providing improved transport facilities from Huddersfield directly to and from the Shay on match days. 

"I look forward to sharing further updates on the 17th and in the coming months as this is a very fluid scenario which has the ultimate objective of building our own custom made venue in Huddersfield."

Best wishes - Ken Davy
