I wondered how long it would take until the ' have a go at fev because we lost' brigade began. If it makes you feel better then go right ahead I give you permission

[quote="Leyther Always"]We came out of the ground well after your fans and a few had cone round to our end to shake our hands and congratulate us. That would not happen in any other sport!!quote]

A group Fax fans spoke to us on the way out too, had a good chat about the game. Not to mention coaches of opposing fans applauding each other on the way out, what a fantastic sport rugby league is. Two equally matched teams resulting in the best game of rugby I've seen in a long time with the best atmosphere. Either team could have won that game today.

with a different result obviously

no shame losing to a side like you have, strike weapons all over the park, good halfs, Good pack, strong out wide and wingers who know how to finish.

I have seen enough from Halifax thogh to see that we are still a threat and we can maybe get to another grand final if we play like that in the play offs

second half

As a Leigh fan I'd like to echo the above sentiment - the game is rightly being hailed as one of if not the best NR finals - and for that you need two teams who are playing top drawer stuff. A big success for 'lower' tier RL was that game yesterday.

Re: Credit to Halifax : Mon Jul 18, 2011 7:07 am  

Came out of the ground and about 40 'Fax fans were waiting to shake hands and say good game, well done. Really really brilliant sportsmanship, you're fans are a credit to you, was talking in 'spoons to your mods Mam too, really nice lady.

Hope you get to the Grand Final so we can have another day like yesterday.

Re: Credit to Halifax : Mon Jul 18, 2011 8:18 am  

The winner yesterday was RL, the fans from both sides went with full intentions of enjoying the day, and from the moment we got off our coach and started walking down the prom, the friendly banter started, shook hands with loads of Fax fans, stood at the bar and in the pub chatting with several, the game was a cracker and could have gone either way right up until the end, on the way out your fans where waving to us from their coaches, and several were stood on the corner of the car park shaking hands and saying well done as we left.

Well done to everyone associated with Halifax (and Leigh) you did RL proud.

A great weekend out in Blackpool, sharing beers with Fax fans and having a good chinwag .

RL was the clear winner, a superb game of rugby with 2 sets of outstanding fans

3 of us walking through the coach park before the game got invited into the Fax fans coach pic, anyone got a copy of it?

Re: Credit to Halifax : Mon Jul 18, 2011 10:42 am  

Hope you guys finish in the top 2 and win your first playoff game to go straight to the final. Then Fax will battle hard to meet you there for another top day out! Best two teams in the league (in terms of excitement, quality of rugby and entertainment etc - subjective opinion I know...but Im sure an opinion shared by many), best two sets of fans by a country mile, and the best game at any level that I've seen for a long long time. I can't actually wait to watch it back on Sky haha!
