We would like to congratulate Huddersfield Town fan Patrick Stewart on his Knightood. Stewart born in Mirfield received the accolade during the Queen's New Year Honours. The Actor who attends Town matches as much as he can as starred on the stage, in numerous films but is perhaps best known as Captain Jean-Luc Picard.

Sir Patrick told the BBC that he was "very proud" to be honoured in such a way.

Despite growing in confidence as he featured in more first team matches, Eastwood could not prevent Bradford's alarming slide down the League Two table and Bantams boss Stuart McCall has decided he needs someone with more experience between the sticks at Valley Parade as his young defence continues to ship goals.

The player himself had been keen to finish the season at Bradford and it is likely Town boss Lee Clark will loan Eastwood straight out when the transfer window re-opens next month.

Eastwood is also understood to have taken some abuse from Bradford City supporters with him being a Town player.

West Bromich Albion (home) FA Cup Third Round Saturday January 02 2010, 15:00

Despite Carlisle United's continued insistence that the Boxing Day visit of Huddersfield Town would go ahead during the week up to the match on Saturday the match day official took just minutes to postpone the fixture due to an unsafe playing fixture.

Many hundred's of Town fans had already arrived in Cumbria prior to the 11:20 cancellation of the fixture with many more thousands not far behind. It is felt that the referee had given the impression that this fixture could have been postponed many days prior to the match day which would have meant the Town players and team management not having to travel the long distance North on Christmas Day.

Yet another appalling experience of Carlisle United FC on Boxing Day. After last season's ticketing then seat number farce this was yet another example of Carlisle United's mismanagement, disregard to the many families that support the Terriers home and away and disrespect to Huddersfield Town Football Club, Huddersfield Town supporters and the spirit of football.

Chairman Dean Hoyle is now officially 100% in charge of Huddersfield Town Association Football Club having agreed on Christmas Eve to purchase the remaining shares from former Chairman Ken Davy and Chief Executive Andrew Watson. In turn Davey will become the Life President of Huddersfield Town AFC in honour of how he helped save the club during the dark days of Administration.

Hoyle has also brokered a deal (which needs to be ratified by the Council) for the Football Club to obtain their rightful shareholding in the Galpharm Stadium. 40% of the Stadium will now in control of Town, transferred from Huddersfield Sporting Pride. That means when rubber stamped (more to come in the coming weeks about this) Town will own 40% of the Stadium, the Council 40% and Huddersfield Giants 20%.

The Stadium shareholding has been under much angry contentious debate by many supporters since Ken Davey transferred both the Football Club and Rugby League Club's Stadium holding into the Huddersfield Supporting Pride. Davey has always maintained this was to protect the Football Club.

As we approach the end of the year and yet again another Christmas period, thisisisthebarmyarmy.co.uk would like to thank all our visitors for your continued support of the website and wish you a very Happy and Safe Christmas.

We value every single visit to our website and would like to welcome you back during the festive period and beyond. This was our ninth year in operation and come April 2010 - this will mark 10 years of thisisthebarmyarmy.co.uk (or one of it's former names) being live published on the Internet - not bad going for an independent website with a small operating budget.

2009 has been another successful year for the website, as we welcomed another increase in the number of visitors, the number of repeat visitors, page displays and time spent in a single visit. We have also welcomed many more partners to The Shop - our dedicated Shopping Channel.

Rob Edwards, Tom Cowan, Grant Johnson, John 'Kevin' McHale and Roy Ellam are all featured on the Town Legends. 2009 was also the year the Terriers turned 40. In September this year marked 40 years since Huddersfield Town adopted "Terriers" as a nickname and introduced the Yorkshire Terrier to the club crest.

And in terms of partners in The Shop in came the likes of Neilson, Uggs, Viagogo, NSPCC, Jet2 Holidays, SKYBet, BlueSQ and many more.

In 2009 we introduced new elements to the website, most notably the introduction of a YouTube channel and an account with the Micro-blogging website Twitter.

Town will be selling tickets through a Phases/Tiered method.

The 1,486 tickets will be sold in the following Phases:

Phase 1 - December 7th 2009 @ 09:30 - Season ticket holders who are a Blue and White Foundation member or a patron with ticket stubs from FIVE away matches from this season.

Phase 2 - December 8th 2009 @ 09:30 - Season ticket holders.

Phase 3 - December 10th 2009 @ 09:30 - Blue & White Foundation member, patron, supporter with FIVE away ticket stubs (away) from this season.

Phase 4 - December 11th, 2009 @ 09:30 - General Sale.

Away supporters are housed in the 'away section' of the Cumberland Building Society (CBS) Stand at Brunton Park. This is reserved seating.

Lets hope this season Carlisle United FC, their stewards and police invoke the reserved seating policy as last season, although tickets were sold by Town on a strict "Reserved seating" policy, the stewards in the North West allowed supporters to sit "anywhere you please" causing havoc and some Town fans to be ejected having asked stewards to sit in their allocated seat.

Those scenes were a disgrace to football, a disgrace to the travelling supporters, and that must not be allowed to happen again. The Town club has assured supporters that repeat scenes will not occur this season.

Supporters can contact the Galpharm Box Office on 08704 44 45 52 for further ticket information and purchase.

Summer signing Robbie Simpson is drafted into Lee Clark's Huddersfield Town squad for tomorrow afternoon's visit to Norwich City following a return from injury. Simpson, Danny Drinkwater and Tom Clarke are all added to the travelling squad of 20. It is not expected either of the three players who have missed considerable time during injury will take any part in the match day 17.

Simpson was once on the schoolboy books of Norwich City and only joined Town this summer from Coventry City. He has scored once at Rotherham United in the Members Trophy and it is hoped that Simpson can put behind the injury which has kept him out of action since October and offer Clark's free-scoring Terriers even more attacking options.

Lee Clark will be forced into one change tomorrow afternoon through Antony Kay's suspension for his fifth booking of the season at home to Gillingham last Saturday. He is likely to be replaced by James Berrett. Lionel Ainsworth is also expected to be back on the bench this afternoon replaced by Anthony Pilkington. Pilks missed last Saturday's victory through suspension.

This season The Yorkshire Club is priding itself on doing things slightly differently this season and with Dean Hoyle wishing to attract more support from the targeted markets of 18-35 year olds, over 50's and familes by launching an internal staff incentive scheme called the 'X-Factor'. A play on the ITV1 singing talent show, Hoyle has split his staff into the three areas with the winning team that who attracts the most new support through the turnstiles on match day.

Each team led by a club executive, should provide additional incentives for 'new' support to visit the Galpharm Stadium and give their backing to the entertaining brand of football being delivered by Lee Clark's high scoring Terriers. Nigel Clibbens (CEO), Sean Jarvis (Commerical Director) and the Operations Director Ann Hough will be the team leaders.

The exciting brand of football on offer this season from the boys in blue and white was further empathised through on-fire striker Lee Novak's revealation that he is benefiting from the extra offensive coaching from Andy Cole and the 'shoot at sight' approach of manager Lee Clark.

Novak himself, in his first at this level of football, scored his fourth goal in five matches which levelled matters against Gillingham on Saturday afternoon.

Novak moved onto 8 goals for the season (6 in the league) whilst fellow strike partner who scored again on Saturday (Jordan Rhodes) scored his 11th League goal of the season his 15th overall. And with Theo Robinson on 9 goals, Lee Clark's strikers as well as his attacking midefielders are delivering plenty of goals with the strikers all under 24, the furture looks very bright for Huddersfield Town.

After this afternoon's impressive performance in the West Yorkshire derby at Elland Road, the next away fixture for Town is a trip to another of League One's powerhouses - Norwich City.

Lee Clark's former side City have improved recently and will be looking to take the scalp of the Terriers. The improvement appears to have coincided with the appointment of former Colchester United manager Paul Lambert as manager of the Canaries following a dismal start to the campaign.

Clark will be hoping that come the visit to Carrow Road, the final away match before Christmas, the Terriers are still in touch with the leading pack of League One.

The Terriers have been given an initial allocation of 1,340 tickets, these are priced at:

Adults - £22
Over 60's - £13
16-21 Year Olds - £13
Under 16s - £12
Under 12s - £9

Ambulant disabled is priced as per the above pricing policy with one carer admitted to Carrow Road free of charge.

Carrow Road the home of Norwich City Football Club over 70 years has seen much development since it was first opened pre second world war. Away fans are allocated part of the newest development at the ground the South Stand or as it is currently named the 'Jarrold Stand'. The Jarrold Stand is the largest of the four with a capacity of over 8,100 - although this is shared with home support.

As you'd expect from a club of Norwich's statue the stadium is big, bright and modern. At 26,018 it's one of the League's biggest stadiums.

As said away supports are given a portion of the Jarrold Stand. This stand was the last addition to the current guise of Carrow Road. The stadium as undergone total renovation since the 1980's and this was the last one finished in 2004. Away support are given approximately three blocks closest to the Barclay End.

Although 1,300 tickets have been given Norwich can supply up to 2,500 should there be a requirement for this and will offer Town fans a touchline view of the action at Carrow Road.

Post code for the ground is NR1 1JE.

View the match highlights from the BBC of the away draw at Elland Road. Town had a credible draw against the leaders twice fighting back from a goal down to secure a hard earned 2-2 point.

Lee Novak and Jordan Rhodes scored the goals for the Terriers and Anthony Pilkington struck the bar late on with a trademark fierce free-kick drive.

-

With two draws and a defeat in the last three matches manager Lee Clark will be hoping to use this final home match before Christmas to put the Terriers back on the winning route. Last time at home Town were held in a miraculous game 3-3 by the bottom club Tranmere Rovers.

Town took the lead three times but each time the visitors came back to equalise and Town's lead lasted just eight minutes!

Tricky winger Anthony Pilkington who recently has impressed with a series of excellent performances on the wing will be missing for Saturday's League One clash at the Galpharm Stadium against Gillingham through suspension. 'Pilks' picked up this fifth booking of the season at Leeds United last weekend and will now serve a one-match ban.

There was confusion over the second Town player booked during the 2-2 draw at Elland Road, but the referee has confirmed he showed the yellow card to Michael Collins. This means that Antony Kay is available for the Gills fixture. He remains on four bookings for the season.

The Coca-Cola League One tie due to be played at the Galpharm Stadium on Saturday January 02, 2009 (15:00) as been rearranged to Tuesday January 19 2009 (19:45). The date change comes following the Terriers progression into the Third Round of the FA Cup and on the original date Town will entertain West Bromich Albion at home.

Lee Clark celebrated a determined and impressive team performance against League leaders Leeds United this afternoon at Elland Road (in which Town won a more than deserved point) by securing the League One Manager of the month award for November 2009. Earlier in the day full back Robbie Williams won the player of the month award.

Clark beat off Phil Parkinson, Simon Grayson and Danny Wilson to win the award, with chairman of the Coca-Cola Manager of the Month Awards panel Alan Curbishley stating that some of the performances during an impressive November were "fantastic".

Town won three of their four league fixtures with the only blip an away defeat at Swindon Town. The Terriers also won both opening rounds of their FA Cup campaign and booked their place in the third round of the competition.

During the month the Terriers scored 17 goals conceded just 4 and moved into the play-off places.

It's the first accolade for the manager who is still in his first year has a professional football manager and Town's exciting brand of football is securing plaudits throughout English football.

Like Williams player award, it's the first for a Town manager for many season's. The last for Peter Jackson (who won three during his time with the Terriers) for August 2005. The Terriers began League One with four wins, one draw, one defeat in the League (another victory came in the League Cup) and at the end of August sat on top of the League One table.

Jackson's other awards coming from League Two - January and March 2004.

Former manager Andy Ritchie was nominated for the award in November 2007. The Terriers 'Legend' Gerry Murphy was shortlisted for the award in April 2008 - whilst in a caretaker capacity following the sacking of Ritchie at the start of that month.

Murphy was bitterly unlucky not to win the award that went to then Nottingham Forest manager Colin Calderwood. Murphy won four of the six matches (the other two were drawn) conceding just two goals and keeping five clean sheets. He handover to Stan Ternent before taking caretaker reigns once again following the sacking of Ternent in November 2008.

After this afternoon's impressive performance in the West Yorkshire derby at Elland Road, the next away fixture for Town is a trip to another of League One's powerhouses - Norwich City.

Lee Clark's former side City have improved recently and will be looking to take the scalp of the Terriers. The improvement appears to have coincided with the appointment of former Colchester United manager Paul Lambert as manager of the Canaries following a dismal start to the campaign.

Clark will be hoping that come the visit to Carrow Road, the final away match before Christmas, the Terriers are still in touch with the leading pack of League One.

The Terriers have been given an initial allocation of 1,340 tickets, these are priced at:

Adults - £22
Over 60's - £13
16-21 Year Olds - £13
Under 16s - £12
Under 12s - £9

Ambulant disabled is priced as per the above pricing policy with one carer admitted to Carrow Road free of charge.

Carrow Road the home of Norwich City Football Club over 70 years has seen much development since it was first opened pre second world war. Away fans are allocated part of the newest development at the ground the South Stand or as it is currently named the 'Jarrold Stand'. The Jarrold Stand is the largest of the four with a capacity of over 8,100 - although this is shared with home support.

As you'd expect from a club of Norwich's statue the stadium is big, bright and modern. At 26,018 it's one of the League's biggest stadiums.

As said away supports are given a portion of the Jarrold Stand. This stand was the last addition to the current guise of Carrow Road. The stadium as undergone total renovation since the 1980's and this was the last one finished in 2004. Away support are given approximately three blocks closest to the Barclay End.

Although 1,300 tickets have been given Norwich can supply up to 2,500 should there be a requirement for this and will offer Town fans a touchline view of the action at Carrow Road.

Post code for the ground is NR1 1JE.

MATCHhotels.com in association with thisisthebarmyarmy.co.uk helps sports fans find hotels near sports venues and events. Take the stress out of the festive travelling and give yourself a treat in the process. Support the Terriers with family and friends and book yourself into a hotel to enjoy a weekend away as you support Town.

Huddersfield Town travel to Brunton Park for a Boxing Day fixture with Carlisle United for a roughly 280 miles round trip from Huddersfield. After last season's seating debacle up in Cumbria Town are selling all allocated tickets. Town were beaten 3-0 last Boxing Day at Carlisle with a massive Terriers travelling army and Lee Clark will be looking for an improvement on that this season.

Town will be selling tickets through a Phases/Tiered method.

The 1,486 tickets will be sold in the following Phases:

Phase 1 - December 7th 2009 @ 09:30 - Season ticket holders who are a Blue and White Foundation member or a patron with ticket stubs from FIVE away matches from this season.

Phase 2 - December 8th 2009 @ 09:30 - Season ticket holders.

Phase 3 - December 10th 2009 @ 09:30 - Blue & White Foundation member, patron, supporter with FIVE away ticket stubs (away) from this season.

Phase 4 - December 11th, 2009 @ 09:30 - General Sale.

Away supporters are housed in the 'away section' of the Cumberland Building Society (CBS) Stand at Brunton Park. This is reserved seating.

Lets hope this season Carlisle United FC, their stewards and police invoke the reserved seating policy as last season, although tickets were sold by Town on a strict "Reserved seating" policy, the stewards in the North West allowed supporters to sit "anywhere you please" causing havoc and some Town fans to be ejected having asked stewards to sit in their allocated seat.

Those scenes were a disgrace to football, a disgrace to the travelling supporters, and that must not be allowed to happen again.

Supporters can contact the Galpharm Box Office on 08704 44 45 52 for further ticket information and purchase.

Town full back Robbie Williams has become the first Huddersfield player in almost four years to take the League Player of the Month. Ironically dropped from today's starting line up at Elland Road having been hauled off in the second period against Tranmere Rovers in mid week, Williams wins the award for a Terriers player for the first time since February 2006 when Jon Worthington took the accolade.

Williams, who is replaced by Lee Clark in the starting 11 to face Simon Grayson's Leeds United side scored three goals during the month including stunning winners at Oldham Athletic and against Hartlepool United. He was also part of the defence that maintained three clean sheets (two in League One, one in the FA Cup) during the same period.

Previously this season Gary Roberts and Jordan Rhodes have been shortlisted for the divisional award, with Lee Clark shortlisted for the managerial award due to be announced later today.

The Championship award went to Crystal Palace midfielder Darren Ambrose, and the League Two to Laurence Wilson of Morecambe.
