ONE GAME vs. ORIENT, ONE TOWN COMMUNITY
The 'One Game, One Community' week of action is now in full swing and the Club is preparing to show its unconditional support for this important campaign at this weekend's game against Leyton Orient.
Club Ambassador Andy Booth visited Fartown High School earlier this week to record some video messages in support of kicking racism out of football, which will be displayed on the Stadium's big screen ahead of kick-off on Saturday.
Around 300 students from Fartown, Moorend High School, Mount Pleasant School and Spen Valley Sports College will be attending the game, with eight from Fartown leading the two teams out at 3pm with the 'One Game, One Community' flag.

All of the players from Town and the O's will don 'One Game, One Community' shirts during the pre-match warm-up as the North Stars Steel Orchestra play in the Britannia Rescue & Fantastic Stand corner of the ground.
A host of other activities are planned for the game, such as face painting and balloon modelling, and the latest 'Terrier 7s' presentations will take place before kick-off and during the half-time interval.
Huddersfield Town Chairman Dean Hoyle told htafc.com that the Club will do anything it can to promote the message of inclusion:
"It goes without saying that the Club always offers its unconditional support for the fight to drive racism out of football. Huddersfield Town is a community club and we are very keen to get everyone involved with their local team by engaging new fans from all backgrounds. We do this through the fantastic work that our Football in the Community team carries out from their base at The Zone on St. Andrews Road and out in local schools, as well as by many other initiatives like 'schools promotions'."
Manager Lee Clark echoed Dean's comments:
"I know I speak for the entire club when I say that we fully support this drive to rid football of racism. There is absolutely no place in life for prejudice of this sort and I believe that 'Kick It Out' has done a fantastic job at helping to eradicate this unwelcome problem."

This weekend's edition of Give Us An H, Town's fantastic new Matchday Magazine, also focuses on the 'One Game, One Community' message - keep an eye out for it on Saturday, priced at just £3!
