Well done Fax fans. The messages on here so far are excellent.

I wasnt ever a massive Callard fan but he was at the helm during some of the better years of the last couple of decades. I wish him all the best.

Yep - nice guys don't always win. Tony Anderson was a lovely fella but no cigar. Matt Calland? A bit controversial but brought home the bacon.

No, he's actually talking about Beverley. She turned him down in the Acca apparently.

This was back in 1992. She looked "Milfy" back then.

The last five years have seen the club transformed from scraping play off wins against York at the wrong end of the table to our being the most successful team in the Championship.

Our match away to Cas in the Challenge Cup 2 years ago was the most exciting performance I have seen from Fax in 25 years. Followed closely by the Grand Final win over Fev. And then the semi final win over Fev....I could name several more

We have been by far the most entertaining team in the Championship.

I for one am disappointed to see Matt go. I thought the way he conducted himself in the Sky interview after defeat last Sunday reflected extremely well on both him and the club.

Whoever takes over, I really hope we don't curb the attacking style that Matt has introduced. As Barrie McDermott said in the semi final win over Fev, even if there's only a 30% chance of it coming off, Fax will still throw the ball. Yes we conceded too many tries, but I'll look back over the last 5 years as the most enjoyable times since the Brook/Anderson era.

Thank you Matt, and good luck.
