No not really, I don't fancy Super League.

I would feel much happier although not at the time if we missed out on going up because we actually lost a game, not from some suits stroke of a pen

Re: Bradford v Fev v Fax : Fri Jul 13, 2012 5:34 pm  

What a farce! And I doubt very much either Fax or Fev are properly setup to take Bradfords place. What happens to the players that dont/cant commit to full time Rugby but have contracts signed for next year? And to be frank most of the Fev or Fax team will be out their depth in SL. And my fear is that neither club is really prepared to change its operations from being a well run part time club to a well run SL club in such a short unexpected time. Fev may have a money man ( Though personally I think old Faisal is full of hot air and wouldnt trust him looking at how he springs around clubs in the past 3 or 4 years) but they require far more than that. Fax I feel need a bit more time to get things off field sorted. Luke Ambler has been a good appointment so far but far more is needed. Realistically I feel both Fax and Fev would be best concentrating on 2015. Bradford should be kicked out of SL but do we really need to see a championship shoved in to SL at the last minute and then expected to be a well run SL club on and off the field? I think not and rushing into SL could hurt Fax/Fev far more than thought despite the Bullsh.. that the RFL and Sky promote about the comp.

Yeah...another Fax v Fev debate where we all wind each other up..it's been a while!

I did post or thought I posted (but as you can see I am having a bad day) that I stand corrected. I should now my geography better, it’s just so close to the boarder. P/R I agree would be the best way to do it. I would also like to apologise to anybody that lives in North Yorkshire for my mistake also.

I was just reading about Rangers being demoted to Division 3 of the Scottish football league, 25 of the 30 clubs voted for this. This will cost the Scottish football association millions in TV rights as the Sky deal included the 4 Celtic v Rangers games. A spokesman from the Scottish FA said " it was important to keep the integrity of the game".

So the Scottish FA must be applauded for this, as they have not chased the money.

The fact is SL want teams that can compete and currently theres only one team in the Championship that could do and its not fax.

If not Halifax, which team?? Not the team that shipped 60 points at home to a team that isn't good enough for super league??

Why do you think Fev could compete and not us? This season you've lost 2 games, 1 to Sheffield, who lets face it, we annihilated, and the other, to us who put.... Look below.... 60 past you.....at home. Don't get me wrong, you guys look good and will probably go the rest of he season unbeaten, but your no better than us.

Off field, without being too disrespectful, your ground is sh.... Poor. It's falling too bits, the pitch is better suited to cheese rolling than rugby.

Halifax to me would be second choice, behind Leigh, but I'm afraid I'd put, Leigh, Fax, sheffield and even Bradford Bulls ahead of you for Super League status

Going by your logic then youv already won the rail cup and the grand final because we got 60 shoved past us twice at home, irrespective of the fact we beat you the other week. Once again our ground will get renovated in about 4 months time it will be fit for purpose, the stands are modular so will be put up in no time, it will then be fit for purpose. The pitch is been extended it will be maximum width and length. We run 5 yes 5 teams and a womens team and have for a few years. We fund the 18s ourselves i and other fools have often gone to functions at the club forking out a lot of money to help raise the 100k needed. When you beat us in 2010 we had to spread our budget over the said 5 teams whereas you just had the 1 same with Leigh so do you really think the RFL will see you as more deserving because i dont. We are playing the game and have for a few years with our junior teams and player pathways we were voted community club of the year a while ago. Sorry but we are miles ahead of any other championship team and that has come from a RFL employee. But having said that super league next year is too early for us and i would much prefer they pick you at this time.

Re: Bradford v Fev v Fax : Sat Jul 14, 2012 7:15 am  

What a totally futile discussion this is, the RFL will continue to wipe Bradford's snotty bull-ringed noses for them and the next team to enter SL from outside it will be Toulouse.
I also expect SL to reduce to a 12 team comp sooner rather than later so that the rich get richer....
