Additionally, there will be a chance to watch Jon Worthington’s B team play against Newcastle United at the John Smith’s Stadium, as well as a decline in Huddersfield Town Women’s fortunes.
The name “Snickers” has been used for the candy bar since 1990, however some individuals still find it offensive. Despite their own name change occurring in 1991, comedian Rachel Fairburn insisted on calling it “Kentucky Fried Chicken” and never simply “KFC.”
Similarly, it has been challenging to get used to referring to the Millers Oils High Performance Complex as the training facility at Canalside for Huddersfield Town. Nothing against the sponsors; it’s simply that as you get older, change takes longer to take effect.
We’ve made fun of the idea that we would all abruptly change the single-word Millers Oils High Performance Complex to the full five-word Millers Oils High Performance Complex, frequently adding something to the effect of “(as we’re all definitely calling it)” after stating its name throughout the course of the previous year or so.
It turns out that Millers Oils employees have taken notice of this and have contacted us to try and work out a deal. They’ve suggested that the best way for me to make up for my mockery is to support the name change by demonstrating my support for the Millers Oils High Performance Complex by finishing Miles For Marcus prior to the Ipswich Town game later this month…in exchange for a nice donation to the cause, of course.
Naturally, I consented, so in order to make amends, I’ll be wearing an appropriately self-effacing T-shirt on the 18-mile charity walk to support the Darby Rimmer Foundation, a charity that supports people with motor neurone illness. In honor of former Town striker Marcus Stewart, their donation will benefit a very deserving cause. I’m really grateful to have been sponsored this time to wear a top to support charity. What a turnaround: I now adore the Millers Oils High Performance Complex.
And with that, a heartfelt thank you to all of you who have already contributed. You may discover all the information on it and make a gift here if you haven’t already and are in a position to do so. There is also a four-mile accessible route available. You have until Monday, September 18 at 4 p.m. to sign up for the walk. Complete information is provided here.
Huddersfield Town Women experience difficulty
Huddersfield Town women opened the season with a pair of high-scoring victories in league and cup, winning 5-3 over Middlesbrough in the WNL Cup and 4-2 over Fylde in the Women’s National League. However, their fortunes have turned for the worst during the past few games.
After losing by a score of four to Stoke City away last weekend, the team lost a painful derby against Halifax on Thursday night. Prior to giving up the game’s lone goal in the sixth minute of injury time, the Terriers had a second-half penalty saved.
On Sunday, Feiruz Abdullahi scored an immediate equalizer after Burnley took the lead in the first half, only for Town to enter the game down by one goal thanks to a dubious free kick. This resulted in Town’s third straight loss. Town suffered a 1-5 loss as a result of the visitors’ three additional goals in the second half.
This Sunday at 2 PM, Glen Preston’s team will travel to The Hawthorns to take on West Bromwich Albion in an effort to avenge their defeat.
Newcastle United will play at John Smith’s Stadium on Wednesday night.
You don’t have to wait until the season resumes on Saturday if you’re kicking your feet during the international break and want to visit the John Smith’s Stadium right away. Wednesday at 7 p.m., Town’s B team will play Newcastle United in a Premier League Cup match.
The under-21s competition, which featured players who are now on the first squad like Pat Jones, Brahima Diarra, and Kian Harratt, will play its inaugural group stage match this weekend. There can be a goalkeeper and four outfielders who are overage for each team. Nottingham Forest and Fleetwood Town are also members of Town’s group.
Tickets for the Newcastle game will cost £5 for adults and £2 for concessions (under 19s and over 65s) in the lower tier of the Riverside (Core Stand). Additionally, hospitality can be purchased at the main reception for £10 for adults and £5 for concessions. There will be no advance ticket sales, but you can pay with cash or a credit card at the box office the night of the event.
Former center-back Nathan Clarke will return to Town as a matchday ambassador beginning with this Saturday’s Championship matchup against Rotherham United, the club announced last week.
Between 2001 and 2012, Clarke, a graduate of the Terriers academy, made over 300 appearances for the team. He then played for Leyton Orient, Bradford City, Coventry City, and Grimsby Town before concluding his career with Halifax Town, exactly like his younger brother Tom did last week.
Now, Clarke the elder will work matchdays with Andy Booth, Peter Jackson, and Dale Tempest, mingling with sponsors, VIPs, and White Rose Club members before and after the game.
