I was just sitting her contemplating the possibilities when my mind wondered. I don't know the answer but can anyone tell me the last time fax had a game that was a 0-0 score....has it ever happened.

Last one I remember was the 88 semi vs Hull at Headingley!

Re: Dewsbury Predictions. : Wed May 21, 2014 7:05 pm  

In the semi-final (26th March 1988) at Headingley in front of 20,000 fans Halifax and Hull achieved a rare nil-nil draw in a game in which both sides had late chances to drop a goal for a 1-0 win which neither took.

The replay took place four days later in front of 25,117 supporters at Leeds United’s ground, Elland Road. It was another tight battle, which Hull eventually led 3-0 through a drop goal and penalty by Gary Pearce. With 15 minutes to go Fax snatched victory when centre Tony Anderson raced to beat Hull fullback Paul Fletcher by a fraction of a second to touch down a loose ball over the Hull try line for a 4-3 win.

Well done Sparky, had actually forgotten that, brings back a lot of memories, 86, Champions, 87 Cup winners, 88 cup losers 89 relegated, what a ride, and the rollercoaster goes on and on.
Hang on tightly Faxfans

Thanks sparky - 45,117 fans for two games...that would be the season aggregate for us now

Back to the topic, It's never easy at Dewsbury, and this time it will be even worse, the chips are perhaps the best in our Division and I have given up chips.
It will be hard.
The game?
It's never easy at Dewsbury, But a convincing win for Fax with a good away following.

When we went to Fev earlier in the year, was talking to some of their lads sat round us and they said Dewsburys team are huge so our forwards will need to muscle up. I think we will win by 2 points
