Probably would have been easier to tell had they all been stood together as there seemed to be at least three separate groups of them in the South Stand and enough of them in the East Stand to 'call' a forward pass! Good crowd all in all though.

Very good performance from 'Fax though once you blew away the early cobwebs. I'd be surprised if Keighley more than half a dozen sets of six in the second half?!

To be fair despite the short distance to Fax it wasn't particularly easy to get over. There doesn't seem to be a bus service between Fax and Keighley anymore and no trains were running. I don't drive, so ended up coming on a minibus that was driven by our Chairman. I think word had got out that more than a few of the bigger names we've signed weren't playing either which I think discouraged a few from coming as well.

I think when everything comes togethrt we will have a very good team.

A bit disapointed with the crowd? This is as good as it gets for Halifax these days.

1500 is a great crowd for the shay in a freindley.

Few others can't be as stupid in their thinking as you can they?

Everyone around me thought that was a decent crowd, there's always going to be reasons why people can't make it so if we can build on that through the NR Cup then hopefully we will be posting regular 2K plus attendances.

Very impressed. Easy to see the hard work on the fitness side of things is paying dividends. Some of our forward signings look very good and thats the area we were obviously lacking last season. We may actually have some forwards who can bust a tackle this season. I didnt think Thackery and Handforth had particulary good games but did enough to show they are going to cause defences a lot of trouble next season especially now we have some players who are capable of running good lines. Obviously some of the new players put in good solid performances but i was very impressed with Craig Ashall he looks a really good signing, low centre of balance, strong, able to bust a tackle and also off load in the tackle like for Gannons try. Hopefully we have just seen a snippet of what is to come from him.

So really good performance but early days yet, plenty more to come hopefully.
