If your trying to say that steelwork going up is a completed structure you are definitely talking to the wrong people here! We definitely won't buy that.

Lets say that they are progressing as were yourselves, it just took a bit of time.

Difference is between your stand and our stadium is that our stadium has the funding yours didn't.

Have to agree. The club has already stated that we would not be in by 2013 & that we will be playing at the "Probiz" next season.

What a cock, Obviously no one would be arguing the decision. Salford is a hole so dont pretend all high and mighty, you were down here a few years ago and might yet be depending on your stadium built.

Why are you on here exactly and to argue what ?. Shouldn't you just toddle off now.

And Halifax is Sydney right? im on here to defend my team who some on here seem to think are in a worse position than fax.

You go on like Halifax have been hard done by, where you are now is your own clubs fault for spending money you didnt have back in the early 2000s, therefor being relegated the year later due to the awful team that followed the mass clearout of star players such as Dunemann and Mckenna and Clinch. The last licence period in 2008 you were no where near ready for SL, this year you probably are but Widnes are in a clearly better position. Listen yeah i know its a kick in the balls not being given the decision but don't go on like you being in the lower league's is no fault of your own because its rubbish!

Rubbish mate, hard done by i don't think so dozens of Fax fans have sent well done and all the best messages to Widnes.

Secondly if Halifax are being hard done by then the game is being hard done by.

This isolating of one club is another by product of self preservation that supporters are now adopting as a result of the RFL's current managment.

It should not be us or them it should us and you, if we are divided then sooner or later the inevitable cycle of the changes in each clubs fortunes will catch up with everybody. Us today you sometime in the future.

Today was the worst kept secret since Ricky Martin admitted he was gay.

Got a hand it to Mr Lewis for his performance today, up there with Colin Firth that lad. How he managed to keep a straight face when congratulating Widnes for their onfield success was amazing. By time they play in Super League it will have been 2.5 years since they won a knockout cup that allowed them to apply.

With league finishes of 6th, 4th and 5th since last licenses announced ('we spent our money on youth instead of 1st team blah blah...). Please don't mock us Mr Lewis by applauding this 'success' when the other applicant has finished 3rd, 2nd and 2nd during the same period and are the current champions (even if Fev do have the t-shirt and badges). Widnes were a shoo-in from that day in Blackpool....not sour grapes as think they deserve it for off-field set up, stadium and the backing they have but don't make out their onfield performances helped them.

Just wish I had a CAD drawing business in the Wakefield or Manchester areas, could be quids in for the next 3 months.

If RFL can honestly say that Crusaders, Catalans, Quins, Salford and Cas are better placed than us (nailed on Wakefield will drop out) come July then that will be me finished with the game after 30 years. Already disillusioned, missing out again in July will be final nail in the coffin for me when we've been most consistent side over the past 3 years and have now been told we meet all the criteria.

I completely agree but I would be sorry to see Wakefield come down over the likes of Celtic & Quins, they have as much history as we do. Equally I would be upset if Halifax were the ones to replace them.

I'm as annoyed by the RFL as anyone but I am not convinced that going up to SL this season is really the right thing for us. The start of the season shows this, I want to go to SL and be a contender & at the minute, we are not one. Credit to all the back room staff & players, I hope they can keep the faith & keep striving for us to be the best.

The revolutionary in me says, we mere supporters should not take the RFL's guff anymore & raise up as one but I know that is not likely. Lets leave our bitterness now & get behind the lads so they can show the RFL once again that WE ARE CHAMPIONS.
