The day after The Grand Final ( the proper one at Warrington ) I will be cancelling my subscription to Sky.
Where can I buy a shirt tomorrow night ?

Thank you at least we have some people who seem to still realise what this is about. I will be in the Shears from about 5-30pm and then outside the ground from about 6-15pm they will be £3-50 or above donations.

Shock , Horror , RFL actually being influenced by proposed actions of Championship clubs fans

See there's a first time for everything

However it also once again shows up the ridiculous situation where the sports governing body is willing to potentially harm a club , because of their own incompetance

Difficult choice

Quite simply if Fax are on ' standby ' to replace one of the ' Chosen few ' if they dont keep their promises , then the RFL should come out and say so , why the need for ' nudge , nudge , wink , wink ' ?

They are meant to be grown men running a serious proffessional sport , if the actions of a few hundred disgruntled fans means they would deny Fax that promotion , how pathetic are they ?

They need to grow up , stop behaving like a group of giggling schoolgirls telling tales and become the strong leadership this sport needs

I agree with Starbug it`s the RFLs own incompitance that has been shown up here and for all those that said we shouldn`t protest because it will not make any differance they are not bothered about us just shows the opposite.
They most certainly are bothered and if we can get other clubs involved they will not be able to put pressure on all the clubs to bring their fans into line.
We may eventually end up with a much fairer deal any fans from other clubs are most welcome to come along tonight and show your support.

The statement is laughable actually as it shows whoever wrote it knows nothing about why we are making a stand and it is more or less saying that our fans are spiting the dummy out because we didn`t get in Super League.
When in actual fact it has nothing to do with it , it was merely the catalyst . In fact the statement as other people have said reinforces the very issues we are challenging they have no comprehension whatsoever the way ordinary fans feel about what they are doing to our game and that statement shows that.
