A mere curtain raiser that day. Though arguably long-term Fax did better out of that day than Leyth did.

Leyther Matt, I don't want to appear rude, but, why does your avatare show your wife kissing a St Helens player?

Judging by the lack of spectators I would say it was taken at a Sheffield home game?

Broke my heart that game...

That game nearly gave me a nervous breakdown, firstly we NEVER wanted to be there in the first place it was a stupid idea having a team from what is now the Championship playing a team from Championship 1 which was basically a team on a downer (us) playing a team on the up (York) and who seemed destined to go up, they were on a roll at the time.
Luckily we won after having set up a winning margin and looking good we then nearly threw it away with a terrible mistake starting York's comeback and getting into a match winning lead themselves for us to get a benefit of the doubt type decision from the video ref (must have touched a blade of grass that) starting an amazing and unexpected comeback from Fax.
At the point we seemed to have lost the game we were starring into the abyss as a club as a second relegation to the bottom league following after the disastrous 2003 SL relegation season would have meant the possible death of the club, or a long long way back for Fax.
I stayed on to watch the Leigh v Whitehaven game so laid back I felt like what i guess those peace loving hippies do, relaxed man!

Better that the play off existed though surely as otherwise you'd have just been relegated outright?
