It's worrying just how many times we do that.

We do it so often that I thought it was compulsory

You are a clown. You really could not be more wrong.

Seems like a decent bloke to me, nowt wrong with a bit of passion. Has a bit of banter aswell.

Not a fan of going mad over every knock on etc but he sure gets his team mates fired up.

I have my reasons for my opinion, which have nothing to do with his actions on a rugby field. And those are reasons I'm never going to go into on here.

Other people may love the guy, that's up to them. I am entitled to think otherwise. Sounds like I may be in the minority with that opinion.

The only reason we are in the same league as fax is cos the RFL couldnt let us drop into Champ1 as it would mess their fixtures up.
So basically fax beat a Champ1 side of young lads with bradford shirts on (plus 1 ageing ex-SL player)
Well done fax, you were the better of the two sides on the day; but beating a champ1 bradford side isnt really that big a deal.
But you should lap it up because you didnt lose - that would have been embarrassing for you.
Like others have said, we'll still have more fans than fax when we're in champ1 next season.

I'm sick of seeing this dribble, Halifax this Halifax that, if you want to start shouting and gloating you Halifax fans, put on the post what you have won in the last 20 yrs, not how many times you may have beating Bradford albeit a championship 1 team

It was nowt to do with fixtures. It was to do with the crowds we take to away grounds and how the majority of the league didn't want to lose out on their Bradford payday.

If we only took the taxi full other teams bring to Odsal when we went on away days, we'd have started this season in league 1 on zero like everyone else.

I think it was more to do with fixtures than anything else. They couldn't promote another team at a few weeks notice as they had prepared their squad to be in League 1 and far too complicated to fast track Toronto at short notice, I would of thought the plans to get away teams to Toronto would of been in place

Am sure Whitehaven were quoted as saying they would happily have taken a Championship spot.
