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

Yep. No one asked them though. For reasons known only to the RFL.

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

While you are mulling over your long long past glories - you could watch Fax v Whitehaven on Sunday streamed live on the BBC seen as you have a free weekend

Re: Halifax - Good Friday : Thu Apr 20, 2017 4:36 pm  

Problem is that there are so many past glories to catch up on how is one supposed to make time for such things. So much to catch up on .... so little time.

We'd mostly be watching any RL we can find on the telly.

However perhaps if you have time, you could teach a little of what you know about mulling over long long past glories. AFAIR you last won something in 1987 when you won the Challenge Cup. That would be 30 years.

Since you last won something, we have won the Challenge Cup twice, most recently in 2003, been champions 7 times, most recently 2005, and been World Club Champions 3 times, most recently in 2006.

So I reckon compared to us, you must be the Daniel Lambert of mulling.

Reading that just makes me feel sadder for Bradford fans than I already did. No wonder we keep seeing questions like "Why dont we just go out and sign some forwards?" etc etc. It really is no surprise there still is this big club mentality, ten years from that to this.

And don't forget my dad is bigger than your dad or my widgy is bigger than your widgy

I think all this is going on too long now. We are not a big club, for Halifax or Rochdale to beat us now is not a big deal, for us to beat a Batley or a Dewsbury is not a big deal. It's what happens in this league, most teams can beat most teams.

Re: Halifax - Good Friday : Fri Apr 21, 2017 6:50 am  

The RFL still seem to think we are a big club. And a few of the SL chairmen. We know that we are not currently "big". Perhaps it's them that need telling?

Re: Halifax - Good Friday : Fri Apr 21, 2017 8:07 am  

Past glories and big success and fabulous trail blazing SL years for us.But then, of late, big on debt and sadly big on failure. On the plus side we do have a big ground and more importantly a big fan base who are big on loyalty.We have a re-emerging Academy with big things expected of a few of our young players.So we have all seen the big, the bad and the ugly times, but the Club still has a big and strong heart beat and hopefully the prospects of a bigger and brighter future once we get over our currant big visa problems..What really epitomises our 'bigness' is the way we are overcoming diversity within a game which ,for all, is in decline since those glory years. The challenge couldn't be any bigger than now. COYB

Re: Halifax - Good Friday : Fri Apr 21, 2017 8:10 am  

our support is fairly "Big" with a bit of investment we could quite easily be "big"...
that's the depressing thing about it...

That and having to listen to 6 fingered clowns from Halifax gloating about our current situation, whilst the other topic of conversation in Fax been "did you know they wear things on their feet in Bratfud?, I think they calls them shoos"..ha

That's far too sensible a comment with the rubbish going on here
