MM,

I think that is true for all the Championship sides, not just Fax, but it doesn't stop any of us dreaming.

Anyway here is an interesting question for you, and anyone else that might like to have a guess. There was only 5 teams in the Championshoip that averaged over 1000 for their home league games can you name them?PS was good to see you last week even if it was only briefly.

In truth Dave I think there are only four, the first three must be Fev, Fax and Leigh, I will take a punt at Batley for the fourth and finally the one that doesn't really exist is Sheffield.
Do I win a prize?

I guess Barrow would be somewhere near. Crusaders could be another that will trouble the 1K mark this season. Guess it shows how bad Batley and Sheffields crowds are for what teams they had last season.

You're there between the two of you - ain't got the figures on me because I am on bus to Wales but it was:
Fev
Fax
Leigh
Barrow
Sheffield

Will dig out the figures later. IIRC Batley was around 800.

Yeah, great to see you too pal, thanks for making the effort at HT to find me, Chris Taylor too, snapchatting me photo of the crowd & asking whereabouts i was, ooooh modern technology eh ?
You're getting some mileage in lately pal, i'm sure your last minute decision to travel back from Burton was worth it with the win against us last week, i was surprised that you'd actually made it in time. I'm sure you lads will have a great trip out today, who'd be your favourite drunken candidate to miss the bus home, Rob Braithwaite ? haha, don't tell him i said that, i've just seen the pic he's posted on FB of the inflatable sheep, one can only imagine !!!

I reckon if Bulls were to come down to Championship, their crowds would take a serious hit but their support would please some of the poorer clubs they'd visit i'm sure.

Has to Rob was told they were taking bets on facebook as to how much of the game he'd see. The trip back from Burton was worth it, but am biased

Think you're right that Bradford would bring fans and money to all clubs in the Championship (as would Wakey) shame the same could not be said about London.

Seen that you're not going to make the game today but wish you and the rest of the Fax fans a great day whether at your game or not.

P or R1 FEV was in the car park.
Sticker on the front "THE FEVOLUTION"
Brilliant.

http://www.skysports.com/rugbyleague/ma ... 44,00.html No less than SIX Halifax lads in Bradford's 19 man squad for today's game at Wigan, Adam Brook & Sam Bates in line to debut along with Adam O' Brien, Sam Wood, Ollie Roberts & Alex Mellor. Whatever anyone else's thought's on this financial siutation are, local lads are getting SL experience & good luck to them, I hope we get to see some of them wearing Halifax colours someday. I'm sure Shaun Wane will use this as an opportunity to "rotate" some of his own squad today.
