I think your memory might be playing tricks on you! If you look on eBay for "Halifax v Wigan 1993" there are a couple of tickets currently on offer for that year. It was £6 to stand, and £8 in the centre stand at Thrum Hall then.

I'd have happily paid £100 to watch that game at that time.In comparison what we have on offer now isn't even value at £6 and that sums up where we've fallen to..

What price will always be a factor in any event, the reality is one of quality. Why would anyone really start to watch championship rugby which is of so low skill and unimaginative week in week out?

I can't agree with that. 1) So low skill...Lot's of SL players start off in the Championship and below, that's where they learn their skills. There are some great, skilful players in our league. 2) Unimaginative...That could be the very description of SL. 5 barges and a kick is the name of the game and the better players have, for the most time, had their skills stifled and coached out of them. I obviously want to see Fax back in the top tier, but if it's entertaining rugby you want to be watching then SL is not the place to be. Up The Fax!

Wish all super league and championship games were half as good as last night's Cas v Wire game...although accepting it was a rare exception.

Another quote from Connor Robinson on the twitter feed

"...it's going to be a new-look squad and I suppose so many new faces can be daunting..."

Interesting if true. Makes you wonder whether they are having to wait for the Super League to finish before announcing some of the signings.

Not sure about any other SL incomings to the Fax squad but I would guess the reason Paul Brealey, (who was originally said to be leaving) is now not in the outgoing names will be down to what happens with Toronto.
