“We have a good working relationship with James Elston and the Wakefield club and we thank them for their co-operation in this matter.”.

Let us Fans be the same, Eh?

Appart from the slanging match between Wakey and us,

is Mat James coming to Fax on loan a good thing for us ?

Thats what matters to me, the success of Halifax RFL. if Wakey, Cas or whoever mess up so be it. We know we have a strong club, financially viable and a great team and coaching staff fro the next 3 years.

Come on the mighty Blue and White

Yes.

The cover at 6 and 7 is now my only slight concern

Re: Matt James : Sat Dec 31, 2011 5:06 pm  

Whats with all the animosity towards Wakey. They are a club similar to ourselves but we are all too quick to rip in to them.

Freddie..............hold on to your wig!!!!!!!

I whole heartedly agree with your comments above.

I dont agree with licensing and never have.Ive listened to the b0ll0x about how it would improve our game etc......
By the grace of God/good fortune Wakefield will dine at the top table for another 3 years,however i still dont agree with licensing.
The fundamental right to play in the elite division should be won on the field of play and that right should be lost on the field of play.

Happy New Year.

I agree 100%. My issue is not with Wakey, they do what they have to do to survive. My issue is with the RFL who are, inept, corrupt and morally bankrupt.

Very bitter. You didn't deserve your place otherwise you'd have got the invitation. Amazing how you know the finances of our club. Weve just sold nearly 4000 season tickets and over 1000 shirts in less than a month. James has been loaned to you to get him up to scratch if he's needed for us in super league, at the moment he isn't ready for super league week in week out, u20 rugby wouldn't improve him where as a stint at a top end champ club will improve him no end. Good to see your club have put aside their difference and formed a professional working relationship with us. Now it's just the fans who need to realise that you weren't ready and hope your club takes the rfl advice in order to gain a franchise next time whether it be in place of us Cas Salford Bradford (who are going backwards in my opinion) or whoever else.

Uptoncat you like most SL fans have 'swallowed the RFL spin' my friend, making a statement like 'following the RFL's advice' is very dangerous, I may come back in 3 years and tell you the same IF you don't get a franchise next time and see how you would take it?
The thing is the RFL are corrupt and we all know it, even SL fans but the problem is its like being in North Korea, you dare not say it or else they 'get you back'. Its do as we say not as we do in RL, when it goes your way RL fans are happy but they forget it may not always be like that!
As for your earlier statement calling our Chairman childish that was just plain daft, he was speaking from his heart and showed his frustrations after we did everything asked of us as a club the RFL stab us in the back and even make us say sorry for daring to speak out by writing our own later reply.
Oh and yes it still rankles us that even though we are financially stable and do not rely on one a sugar daddy to prop us up they keep a club in SL who rely on the owner of a double glazing firm to pump his money in yet that is better according to the RFL???
Anyway good move getting Matt and thanks.

I don't really care what a few fools on here say, i have lots of friends who support Fax and i wish them well.

I enjoy visiting the Shay and will continue to do so when i can and no amount of talk on here will change that.

I don't think you understand the facts, AG as steadied the ship and tidied up debts, the rest is down to the fans and if we don't respond we'll not survive. In short AG does not have that sort of money and the RFL know that.
