Huddersfield Town History

In 1910, just three years after being founded, Huddersfield entered the Football League for the first time. In November 1919 a fund raising campaign was needed to avoid a move to Leeds. Citizens of Huddersfield were asked to buy shares in the club for £1 each, and the club staved off the proposed merger. The team went on to reach the 1920 FA Cup Final and win promotion to Division One.

In 1926, Huddersfield Town became the first English team to win three successive league titles - a feat that only three other clubs have been able to match. Huddersfield Town also won the FA Cup in 1922 and has been runners-up on four other occasions. After World War II, Huddersfield Town began a gradual decline, losing its First Division status in 1952. It returned to the top flight for the last time in 1970 but was relegated two seasons later and has since meandered through the lower three divisions.


In 1998, Huddersfield Town attracted the attention of local businessperson Barry Rubery and, after protracted takeover talks; he took over the running of the club, promising significant investment as the club sought Premiership status. However, the club did not make it back to the top flight and fell two divisions before eventually slipping into administration. In the summer of 2003, the Terriers came out of administration under the new ownership of Ken Davy.

At the start of the 2004-05 season, the stadium was renamed the Galpharm Stadium, to reflect the sponsorship of this local healthcare company. On 2 February 2005, the name of the club was changed from Huddersfield Town Association Football Club to Huddersfield Town Football Club. On 19 November 2011, following a 2-1 victory over Notts County, Huddersfield broke Nottingham Forest's long-standing 42 match unbeaten league record, the Terriers went 43 games unbeaten although they did lose 3-0 to Peterborough on the 29th of May 2011 in the League One Play off Final at Old Trafford.
On 28 November 2011, Huddersfield lost their first in 44 games to Charlton Athletic.

Chairperson Ken Davy and newly appointed chairperson elect Dean Hoyle agreed with a special offer for season tickets for the 2008-09 football seasons. Adult tickets in the Antich Stand and Fantastic Media Stand were just £100 and tickets in the Direct Golf Stand were no higher than £175 for adults. Town sold 16,123 tickets during the offer, more than twice the amount sold during the previous season. It also beat the previous record of 14,170 set during the 1970-71 season, which was Town's first season back in the old First Division.

Huddersfield Town's 2011-12 campaign is Huddersfield Town's eighth consecutive season in the third tier of English football.
