I haven't posted since thursdays game until now so i have had time to mull over it and calm down on the emotions front. I came away from sheffield really down in the dumps and feeling i had wasted my money for the third match in a row swearing i would not go to batley, knowing deep down i wil be their thursday night wearing my fax shirt with pride because no matter what form we're in i love this club and am addicted to watching fax. We should all be used to things not going smoothly and not winning when we should because thats always been the way of Halifax RLFC in my time of supporting (about 14yrs) and i believe we will turn it around starting at batley. Come on guys and gals lets get behind matt and the boys as we always are and give them the lift they dearly need right now. Halifax RLFC onwards and upwards!!

Chris, you and i know its pointless saying we should be SL or are the best team in the league, we need to prove it and its hard work, dedication. passion, discipline 80 mins of effort. You speak your mind fella, nowt wrong with it.

Weve been in play off eliminators, been top, finished in the top 3, we haven't gone that extra step, and until we do, or until we show pride and stop letting in big scores then the team and club aren't helping themselves, we need to make finals if were going to progress, Matt and Martin have been with us in various capacities for a few years, we want to see us keeping pushing on to the next level, SL or Grand finals are a long long way off right now, we need to focus on one game at a time and start winning ugly, its something we haven't mastered yet.

I fully agree with chris and his posts . I've watched fax for around 28 years now though the good times and the bad times and I'm getting fed up with the pc fans on here saying u can't boo the team , stop slagging off player and the coach because your up setting them . What a load of balls

if fax play well then I will clap them off the pitch , but on the other hand if they play like a set of w****rs . Then I will call them all the names under the sun and make my feeling known to them . This could / should be the best season we have had for a long time and at the mo the team seem to want to it away .hopefully the team / coach will read the message board and have a long hard look at themsevles . I can't remember who said about we will be left with hard core fans but will we . If people like chris (30years) my bro (18years) me (28years) my mum (35years) and my dad (50years) are getting fed up u can bet there will be a lot more hard fans in the same mind set

Cheers mate for the support!! - Like I've said previously, people on here (and I include some of the moderators) seem hell bent on shouting down non regular contributors all too quickly if an opinion is different to theirs. I'm still fuming at being accused of lying over how many years I've watched Fax for, which at the time was totally uncalled for and out of context of the conversation. I can't help maybe looking younger than I am when "others" have obviously had a hard paper round.

I've had to miss loads of games this last couple of seasons, but I do know that every game I have been to, Chris has been there, and for 5 years or so that I was supporting prior to this last couple of seasons.

Weren't you also one of the founders of the Supporters Trust Chris?

Hey Up Ian - Good to see you kicking about!! - Yes I was a one of the few responsible for starting the Supporters Trust up and even though time in the day job dictates I can no longer have any involvement I do feel quite proud of what it has gone on to achieve.

I was apparently even at the Cawoods game but don't remember as I was only about 3 and took along by my dad who ran the supporters club shop at the time (which was where the Taverners used to be before being moved to under the Main Stand), So I could say I've gone for 32 years!!!
