1873-2023. 150 YEARS. : Fri Sep 23, 2022 12:24 pm  

With our season over the club can start to look forward to next year and Halifax’s 150th anniversary as a rugby club. What are people's thoughts as to how this historic occasion should be marked? I'll start off with perhaps a pre season friendly against an England, Yorkshire or SL champions side. Let's aim high and make next season an unforgettable one in Fax's history.

Good idea, albeit Salford, St Helens and Wakefield were also formed in 1873, along with Millon ARLFC.

Agreed get in before the others do!
How do we know things are not already underway, as the information highway seems to have stopped.

I presume the club do have plans, i'm pretty sure there will be some retro merchandise for example. It has all gone very quiet though. Hogshead, Sowerby Bridge. Elland Blonde 4.0% Mmm!

I was thinking more on the lines of a mini tournament pre season,
Touch type 20 minute games , make it a celebration day maybe the teams wear the original colours / design kit ,
Most of all make affordable for people to come, no point in charging 20 quid a pop and only getting a few thousand, say a fiver and fill the ground. Get people down to enjoy the atmosphere, What does the Shay hold 11,000?
