Halifax for Super League! : Mon May 11, 2009 6:57 pm  

After you fantastic result against Castleford you have shown you can compete on the field and also off it with the amount of away support you took, we didnt take that many last season. What are you chances of getting a super league bid accepted in 2012 in comparison to the other front runners Widnes and Leigh?

I personally would love to see Halifax back in we had some great games against you, it would be much like Hull KR coming back into the top flight, your fans would flock back and you would also have a great away following, you also have IMO one of the best stadiums around, is it a good atmosphere? How many does it hold?

The problem for Fax like all the other clubs is the support they took to Cas is the same as their current total home support

They like us and to a lesser extent Widnes need to get over 4,000 home paying fans attending all their home matches , until that point is reached none of us are viable SL candidates

I do'nt think we could average 6,500 in SL. Even less if they fetch more expansionest teams in.

Ditto Leigh , that is why I make the point of getting up to 4,000 in the Championship first , if you cannot reach that level of core support outside SL when you are winning 60/70 % of your matches you are not going to be able to retain enough in the early days of a SL campaign when you are going to be losing 60/70 % of your matches

Talking to one of the marketing guys at Cas. on Saturday. He stated that they were strugleing to break even in the hospitality suite, when CATS. CC. and HARLIWATSITS. come to town.

I think its about development and we are making progress. Would the people of Halifax get behind a super League club? Yes I think they would but then they need to prove it by turning up to games so we can get there.

Don't try and make out Super League is some exclusive and elite club. I felt embarrassed for Castleford on Saturday. A stranger walking into Wheldon Road would have been forgiven for thinking Castleford was anything BUT a "Super League" club ... with tacky pre match and half time "entertainment", a crap 19th century stadium, and barely 4,500 "hardcore fans" who turned up. Not looking for a sparring match with the Cas fans, just telling it as I see it. And that goes for several other clubs in Super League. Joke? You bet it is.

For christ's sake you don't half blabber on and on about the most boring and indane stuff "bluesox4eva", you really do my head in. And I wish you'd change your ridiculous "nik" ... outdated and irrelevant, and get rid of that offensive avatar ... the last thing I want is a pair of tits shoved in me face when I'm on me comp.
