Fax just don’t seem to be able to get a break, If they win their first game against lower opposition ( not a given) only to get a poor draw in the 3rd found, no money spinner.
Halifax Panthers or Thatto Heath Crusaders/Orrell St James v Catalans Dragons.

Might be worth registering some fans to play the 2nd round game , it's inevitable that by the time we've played catalan we'll have about 2 fit players.

Horrendous draw again...anyone else would have sparked certain interests,this has below zero..

Such is my interest in the cup, I'd forgotten we'd played Catalan last season.

Horrible draw, not going to get a good attendance, likely to get whooped, and probably end up with some injuries too as always seems to be the case.

The club will lose money and probably players through injury same as last season.

It is a terrible draw, but it was the game against the amateurs last year which derailed our season injury wise. Awful luck all the same for Fax but it's up to the club to make the best out of a bad situation if we get through the previous round. Do we get any brass if it's televised?

My favourite thing at the moment is when you get a notification on your phone saying panthers post and you think it's gonna say panthers swoop but it just says Connor Davis is being sponsored by bob the builder .

Sponsors spotlight , this year ronin dixons underpants are sponsored by two fat ladies .
