Our History

HTSA (Huddersfield Town Supporters Association) was formed as an amalgamation of Huddersfield Town Supporters Club, Huddersfield Town Supporters Trust and Fight for Answers (HTFFA).

This ONE Supporters Group hopes to represent ALL Fans of Huddersfield Town Football Club.

HTSA wants to make its views known and put them in the public domain for supporters to discuss and input their ideas. HTSA believe for any supporter group to work the input of supporters is of utmost importance.

HTSA believed that for too long the Supporters, the lifeblood of any Club, had largely been ignored by successive boards at Huddersfield Town Football Club. Without Supporters though there is no Club and we believe the Supporters have an important role to play in many aspects of the Club, its policy and its future well being.

As Huddersfield Town Supporters Association we want to do our bit to help the Club regain and thereafter maintain its rightful position amongst the elite clubs of the English game. We believe that Huddersfield Town has the potential to be one of the top thirty followings in the country in terms of supporter numbers, loyalty and passion.

Properly mobilised, there is no reason why that level of support, loyalty and passion should not translate into real advantage to the Club in ensuring that both on and off-field success is at least commensurate with this top thirty support status. We believe that the fans should enjoy an effective and influential role in the running of the Club which in turn can only strengthen the bonds between the Club and its community and bring about ongoing mutual benefit.

Our aim is to develop and maintain a democratic organisation for all Huddersfield Town Supporters, dedicated to the furtherance of the Club’s on-field progress and to act as responsible custodians to preserve the tradition and heritage of Huddersfield Town Football Club.

In stating our belief that Huddersfield Town fans should enjoy “an effective and influential role in the running of the Club”, that doesn’t mean that we either want or expect to run the Club, it simply means that we believe that the fans should have some sort of say and some sort of involvement. After all, we fans are the Club. Players come and go; Managers come and go; Chairmen and Boards come and go. But we fans are the one constant and we believe that fact alone should count for something. This doesn’t mean that all the fans are going to agree on all of the issues all of the time. But with an effective, open and democratic Supporters’ organisation it does mean that there is a channel through which the democratic views of the membership can be conveyed to the Club. And with greater membership numbers comes a louder, more representative voice of the fans which the Club would surely be unwise to ignore

Clearly the relationship between the Supporters and the Club’s Board has been far from effective or influential in the past, although a relationship with key members of the Board has improved dramatically recently.

Does this mean that the fans should give up wanting to help the Club? Not in our book – that’s like suggesting that we go and support another team. Our motives are genuine and driven by the same fanaticism that sees us spending hundreds of pounds and travelling thousands of miles a season in support of the team. And when individual Supporters are keen and able to do even more in support of their Club, then we believe that they should be encouraged to do so.

HTSA seeks to represent the supporters views in an open and democratic fashion. Our members will be consulted more frequently, on issues affecting the Club. We are a members’ organisation and we shall represent and articulate the democratic view of our members on the issues which are important to them. Huddersfield Town is our Club. HTSA is your voice. The bigger the membership, the louder the voice!

THE FUTURE's BRIGHT IT's BLUE AND WHITE!!!!!
