I've seen the report. It just says:

1) Need a backer
2) Need bigger attendances
3) Don't worry what we think of other club's performance over the last six years - it doesn't concern you.
4) Don't take our criteria requirements to heart - they are there just to fill out our franchise procedures.
5) Same time, same place in 2014. See ya!!

We shall see its still early yet but I can expect the RFL have said something like this to our Board:

'Look Halifax you tell people what has gone on and you will NEVER get a SL Licence, not while we are in charge and right now there is no chance of us letting this position of power go, we are RL, we are in complete control of everything that goes on in this game.
So just tell everybody that you accept our decision and that is the end of the matter.
Okay?'

It wouldnt surprise me if the RFL tried that, but surely the club would then have the upper hand? Come out, reveal all and shame the idiots for what they are. Nothing to lose at all.

Once again , it needs the clubs themselves to take a United stand , say maybe attend the RL Council meetings , but all just stand up and walk out after the ' roll call ' has been done , just saying " when you've decided what's happening to us , send us an e mail "

The RFL make FIFA look transparent!!

Re: Todays Meeting with The RFL : Thu Aug 04, 2011 10:18 am  

in todays courier it says a jointly-agreed statement to be released.
in other words if fax say some stuff they will be even more stuffed by the RFL.

I don't giva A Rats Ar*e if they have threatended the club trying to keep us quite I would tell the world exactly that if that was the case, they need to be published to shame the powers that be.

Re: Todays Meeting with The RFL : Thu Aug 04, 2011 1:20 pm  

let's wait for the joint statement but it is to be hoped its not some fudged cop out.

after all that has happened don't think this will sit too kindly with the fans.

Re: Todays Meeting with The RFL : Thu Aug 04, 2011 6:25 pm  

Not sure if this helps but Kosh on VT has posted this under topic Halifax RLFC supporters trust press release at top of p10

The clubs won't let them. They specifically requested that the RFL release NO information on their bids - not even the summary information that was released last time around. Instead these summaries will go to the clubs who will then release as much or as little as they please.

If Fax want the information on their bid to be made public then they can go right ahead.

Cue the music ............................

Nothing is so good it lasts eternally
Perfect situations must go wrong
But this has never yet prevented me
Wanting far too much for far too long.

Nigel
Looking back I could have played it differently
Won a few more moments who can tell
But it took time to understand the man
Now at least I know I know him well

Michael
Wasn't the bid good?
Wasn't the bid fine?
This is all madness
The license must be ours

Nigel
But in the end you need
A little bit more than a stadium --
More security, and a financial backer .............

Michael
Go and boil you head you big fat b'stard
No one is completely on your side
And though I move my world to be in Super League
Still the gap between us is too wide.

Nigel
Looking back I could have played things differently
I could have been more honest from the start
But you're so fooking gullible, i couldn't stop once i had the start.
Wasn't i great, wasn't i magic, i'm so unkind.
