[quote="a.n Other"]I agree. if we dont get in this time, we will not get in at all. It will make a mokery of the whole licencing purpose if they don't give Fax one. We have done everything the RFL wanted from a team outside of SL. Have Cas Wakefield or the Crusaders done everything expected of them? With administration for crusaders, and Wakey. No promised stadium for Wakey and Cas. There should be no way that any of these teams get a licence over Fax.[/quote]

Agreed, but they will because the RFL are a corrupt organisation and they have neither self respect or respect for the hard work of true RL clubs.

Just watching Warrington-Wigan.

The thought of Halifax playing against these two scares the crap out of me

Scares you? It should exhilarate you. You would rather we play York or Fev?

Can we match them at all? (Warrington and Wigan i mean). I even fear for Widnes when they kick off their SL season. They're going to get mullered at the start. I know it's not very ambitious of me and i do want Fax to be in SL but i want a competitive team. Not sure how long it would take to get anywhere near these two giants clashing on me telly.

Re: Next seasons coach : Sat Jul 23, 2011 5:03 pm  

These SL sides are boring aren't they its 5 drives and a kick
What a match.

Its what we have to aspire to be like or whats the point? We may as well just give in tomorrow

I'd rather lose 40-0 a few times to the best two teams in the country in front of crowds between 7-16,000 than play Batley and Fev up to 5 times a season each in front of no one.

As for the Cas scenario, there's more chance of Halifax winning this year's Challenge Cup than that happening. We'll be in Tuesday.

I really hope your right Tommy but I can't see anyway that we can get in without the league being extended and the door as been slammed shut on that.

What on EARTH are you on about, Tommy? Where do you get the 7 - 16,000 crowds from? You have a short memory, my son, we got terrible crowds when we were getting stuffed in SL and often got outnumbered by the away supporters .... very embarrassing. Jezuz, I read some crap on here but that tommy comment has coaxed me out of my "semi-retirement" ... rather watch us lose 40 nil? God help us. I've watched some great stuff the past few years ..... proper blood and thunder stuff in a very competitive league. Watching FAX has become an entertainment rather than a chore. And that's why I hope we don't get into "Super" League .... we ain't ready and it'll be a nightmare watching meaningless garbage at the foot at the table playing the likes of Crusaders and the Queens .... there ain't even relegation to stoke the interest. Jezussss christ, I despair sometimes ..... I really do ............

Re: Next seasons coach : Sat Jul 23, 2011 6:26 pm  

If the club is to move forward then SL must be the goal - the Championship as good a league as it is, is in decline and will contine to be so as the clubs are poorly funded and have nothing to play for ..... its not ideal but Tuesday is a mssive day for the club.
