I think you may have missed the point here,with the greatest respect.

Seems to me Alan was simply being polite when responding to an enquiry from a Fax fan.It,s easy to forget that Yorks folk are not as bright as us despite the enormous amount of research that has been done to try to improve their lot.

Sorry frank, i forgot we were dealing with people from tother side of pennines.

Thank you, frank! The Halifax club hasn't helped here, as they actually announced (via their website) that the re-arranged game at Leigh was to be on 13th May - the day before we played Widnes! They wish!

all this fuss. sorry fax beat widnes to get to next round of the challenge cup.
forgot who you played the weekend we were in round 5.

Luck of the draw - you drew that shower of e to earn your game at Cas, while we were drawn away to Wakefield in Round 4. Hardly worth gloating about that we were defeated by a decent Super League side away from home

Just because you are top and got further in the CC doesn't mean you get preferential treatment to the detriment of other RFL members, although you're board obviously are full of there own self importance at the moment.

How are your reserve team doing at the moment by the way.

Stop being cheeky you whippersnapper.

Fantastic! They haven't lost a game all season.

ey you,givover,tis champion ova ere

Good idea though to drop the expensive running of the reserves in order to gain your right to apply for a franchise. Although I'm not sure how not running a reserve team fits in with the guidelines etc. Can't see them kicking anyone out of Stupid Legaue in 2012 and while there is already a top heavy Yorkshire bias in there you have as much chance as us of getting a franchise, sorry licence.

guidelines dont count for anything in this division Derek, and the bare vnot saving that much as most reserve grade players are on a pitance.

Whoever wrote that deserves some kind of award.
