My thoughts exactly , your form over the last two seasons should have seen over 3,000 averages at the Shay ( without freebies ) , our form over this season should have seen over 3/4,000 at the LSV on Friday

It's not like the people of the towns were not aware of what has/is been on offer , unfortunatly our ' brands ' are not worth much anymore

I think people are just apathetic towards the game itself. I know I am and knowing that despite my team being in 2 Grand Finals and winning one we are unlikely to get in SL. Leigh , Fev, Barrow are all in the same boat. No matter what we do its going to be very unlikely we will be allowed to be in SL this decade! We have Quins who cant even get 2000 people turn up for a game and basically run like a pub team and the jokers at Crusaders who manage to go into Administration AND get loaned money by the RFL allowed to stay in SL. Yet championship clubs who are well run and have decent facilities are held back. We have a Salary Cap that is way too low and only there to help Sheffield, Hunslet, Dewsbury compete with the bigger clubs. We have Laurel and Hardy (Wood & Lewis) moving goal posts and doing everything to expand the game at the cost of Halifax, Oldham, Leigh, Featherstone etc. I dont hold much hope for the state of the outside of SL as the RFL dont really care as long as teams from Coventry, Hemel Hempstead and Wales get playing pro RL.

good to have another derby though, if a game between Halifax and Bradford isnt going to pull the fans in then nothing will, just over 5,000 for a game like that isnt really good enough,. especially seen as though we havent had a game like that for 8 years

That was a better turnout than at our game with Sheffield. We got only 3,500, and about 200 of those were from Sheffield! I thought your turnout was good. It looked good on TV, certainly. Your fans were very vocal too, which was great.

I enjoyed your game. It was very entertaining and I kept on hoping you'd take the lead, but you hit the doldrums for a ten minute spell in the second half and that turned the game. You only really recovered in the last ten minutes or so, which was a shame because after that first half I really thought you had it in you to beat Bradford and I was looking forward to the second half, especially when you scored!

However, if you could get your defence sorted out it would help. A shame it lets you down because your attack is great.

Thought it was a cracking game to watch and if Bentham had anything but a Superleage eye then it might have been closer or you could have even snook it.

Well done Fax - you kept a SL team on their toes all game.

If I was Mick Potter , I'd be working on stopping the huge hole that Fax were running through behind the PTB , Penky is a good player , but to be hit by the same tactic several times was getting a bit ridiculous really

So why don't players see this happening, cos when I played you soon got told if you weren't pulling your weight by your team mates.

Oh and our crappy championship team performance has got the Bulls fans realising just how bad their team is. So lots of positives out of today.

Maybe then next time we will meet we not have an injury crisis then , without 12 1st teamers and youngsters bateman (17 yrs) and o`brien (17yrs) playing for us today i think we did enough to win the game.

What is it with you fax fans ? Pathetic !

Stop making excuses Plastic Bull. The guys you had are ALL in your SL team and train fulltime. ALL our players are Part time and we also were missing players that could have got in if not injured etc like Fieldhouse, Ratu etc. Your team is in freefall and has been for a while. You are nothing better than a glorified Championship team. You were lucky you didnt play Leigh or Fev as they both would have beaten the Dulls today. Fax budget is 300,000 and the Dulls around 1.4 Million. Even missing a few players today you should have done way better-even your own fans say that.
ENough to win the game? You did enough to lose it more like. Pathetic defence and commitment from both sides and the game could have been easily by Fax. You got lucky a few times with the officials but thats the way it goes. But to say you earned that win is laughable.
