How about, no-one turns up to watch, but yet announce a crowd of 4500.

Eh? What do you mean, we've already done that one???

That was an RFL idea , they asked Fax to do it

All part of making an elimination process into an application one , it's just a shame the Fax board didn't realise it until too late , and believed the lies told to them by the RFL top dogs

Leave it starry. Its like banging your head against a brick wall.

These sad sacks can have their rugby league, they all deserve each other. I'm through with it all now. Will hold a small ceremony of rememberance tomorrow

Good luck in your fight everyone!

Whilst I agree with most Fax fans about the iniquities of franchising I honestly think supporting your team is more important.

Oh and have to say Widnes looked a good side today.

We knew this would not be liked by everyone, but the the players have been told and they think its spot on! they know we support them or we as fans would not be making such a stance. There will be a leaflet drop on the gates with instructions to how it is going to run.

This goes much deeper than just getting into Super League, its about the divisions below and how the RFL have turned their back on these divisions, as one of the people turned up last night said.."we now have only a couple of games left, but does anyone know how many teams are going to be relegated? or how many teams will be promoted?" NO! and thats because the RFL are not interested in this league and have not decided yet!!!!

So its not about turning our back on the team or rugby league, were turning our back on the RFL like they have turned their backs on the lower leagues and even grassroots rugby, the very people who feed their beloved super league!

All we ask is a minute of everyones time "yes" even Widnes, once the ref blows their whistle for kick off the ground turns around and is deadly silent, then a hooter will sound after a minute and everyone is encouraged to make as much noise as possible.

We hope you will all join in, by the way other championship clubs will be doing the same!

I like this idea, ok now you need to contact all press and get representatives from local, national papers, tv crews, im sure they will be interested as its an unusal event.

Absolutely ridiculous idea. Spitting your dummy out isn't going to get you anywhere. The best thing Halifax can do is take the decision on the chin and continue building and developing the club like we did the last 3 years. The RFL are never in a million years going to turn round after a silly protest and promote you into SL. You are in a better position than most clubs for a franchise nect time around. You have great fans, a stadium more suitable for SL than a handful of current SL clubs. I can see 3/4 clubs in 3 years being up for the chop back down to the championship and if Fax continue to develop the way they are in the coming 3 years, you'll be up there with Leigh for promotion favourites.

Keep the faith and show the RFL what a great club and set of fans you are. don't give them a reason to think otherwise.

No you didn't , the Widnes club ism't much different to how it was 3 years ago , you were wrongly overlooked then and had your place guaranteed

And besides which , this isn't just about the Licence/P and R issue

Do you believe the RFL treat the Championshps and the clubs and their fans fairly ?

Is it right that clubs at this late time of the season still dont know the make up of next years competitions and what they are actually playing for ?
