You will all be happy when it's announced also we will be in the championship next season, with Wakefield down and cas been given 12 months to sort out a ground and if they don't they are down and we go up , watch this space remember u heard it here first

He might be a fax legend but I bet people moan when Karl Harrison is announced as our next coach

If this happens I would ask 3 questions:

So, when they warned specific clubs last year about stadia they didn't really mean it.

What are the terms of reference for this stadium? Plans? Hole in the ground? Hard hats?



Do Crusaders just by-pass their radar?

Why would Halifax go up in the 2013 season,Who's to say you will tick a box this season or next.

If it was a condition laid down in this round of licensing, then what difference would it make?

Ticking the box this season or next is for licence applications for the 2015 season. As we know the RFL will make the rules to suit their own blinkered agenda.

By the way I doubt this scenario would happen. I fully expect us to be playing championship rugby at least for the next three seasons, and probably beyond.

Yes, they still owe the RFL too much money to be kicked out of SL.

If we dont get in this time then how can we improve to get in next time? We already meet minimum criteria and on a shoe string budget i really doubt we can improve further so is that it for us?

I agree. if we dont get in this time, we will not get in at all. It will make a mokery of the whole licencing purpose if they don't give Fax one. We have done everything the RFL wanted from a team outside of SL. Have Cas Wakefield or the Crusaders done everything expected of them? With administration for crusaders, and Wakey. No promised stadium for Wakey and Cas. There should be no way that any of these teams get a licence over Fax.

Top post - could not agree more

Just watching Warrington-Wigan.

The thought of Halifax playing against these two scares the crap out of me

Scares you? It should exhilarate you. You would rather we play York or Fev?

Can we match them at all? (Warrington and Wigan i mean). I even fear for Widnes when they kick off their SL season. They're going to get mullered at the start. I know it's not very ambitious of me and i do want Fax to be in SL but i want a competitive team. Not sure how long it would take to get anywhere near these two giants clashing on me telly.

These SL sides are boring aren't they

its 5 drives and a kick


What a match.

Its what we have to aspire to be like or whats the point? We may as well just give in tomorrow

I'd rather lose 40-0 a few times to the best two teams in the country in front of crowds between 7-16,000 than play Batley and Fev up to 5 times a season each in front of no one.

As for the Cas scenario, there's more chance of Halifax winning this year's Challenge Cup than that happening. We'll be in Tuesday.

I really hope your right Tommy but I can't see anyway that we can get in without the league being extended and the door as been slammed shut on that.

What on EARTH are you on about, Tommy? Where do you get the 7 - 16,000 crowds from? You have a short memory, my son, we got terrible crowds when we were getting stuffed in SL and often got outnumbered by the away supporters .... very embarrassing. Jezuz, I read some crap on here but that tommy comment has coaxed me out of my "semi-retirement" ... rather watch us lose 40 nil? God help us. I've watched some great stuff the past few years ..... proper blood and thunder stuff in a very competitive league. Watching FAX has become an entertainment rather than a chore. And that's why I hope we don't get into "Super" League .... we ain't ready and it'll be a nightmare watching meaningless garbage at the foot at the table playing the likes of Crusaders and the Queens .... there ain't even relegation to stoke the interest. Jezussss christ, I despair sometimes ..... I really do ............

If the club is to move forward then SL must be the goal - the Championship as good a league as it is, is in decline and will contine to be so as the clubs are poorly funded and have nothing to play for ..... its not ideal but Tuesday is a mssive day for the club.

Well if Wigan and Wire bring 3,500 to our ground then we'd only need 3,500 home fans. Obviously the up to 17,000 is the Away attendances.
Plus the losing 40-0 bit was both tongue in cheek plus only in relation to the best two teams. I don't expect, nor would I be happy with, losing by that every week.

Wise up Tony Fax. You usually come out with some good 'out of retirement' post but that was a bit tinpot.

Your location?

"Halifax, the sleeping giants of Rugby League"

In view of the above, you'd better move.

Marketing Director, Tony Abbott, is confident in the next few weeks. "Going to a final is huge and so is finding out if you're going into Super League. These are exciting times for Halifax Rugby League and I'm proud, as the fans should be too, of everything that's going on. This Club deserves a Super League place; I have no doubt about it. We have a Club made up of winners, and heading to a third final is testament to that. Put us in super League and we will soon become a force to be reckoned with!"

So Glad that the bored Don't share your unambitious views Tony.

Don't get me wrong - i want Super League but only if we're competitive and i still believe that cannot happen without a strong backer(s).

So you wouldn't be "happy with" but would "rather us lose by 40"? So you admit you don't know what the feck you're rambling on about? Maybe a "tinpot" post of mine in your eyes, Tommy my son, but still beats the crap you constantly churn out.
