Im still on cloud nine but I'd just like to say what a credit to the club your fans where.

We came out of the ground well after your fans and a few had cone round to our end to shake our hands and congratulate us. That would not happen in any other sport!!

Comiserations. That what a cracking game that was though!!

Great game .great atmosphere....spent an afternoon drinking and singing with leigh fans....both sets of fans were a credit to rl... thanks for a great day leigh....Featherstone should take notice of this game and see how it is done

Thanks leigh and good luck

Yes what a great game and a credit to both teams and their supporters come on the Fax pick yourselves up boys and well played Leigh.

Superb friendly atmosphere and a great day despite the weather and of course the result (for us Fax fans).

Disappointing but just shows what a force Halifax are when they up the ante. The signs are good.

well played fax , well done leigh your fans are a credit to the sport, unlike a club i wo'nt name but begins with feather and end in stone

give us a cIue NeiI

ok i will give you another clue, play in dark blue and white and play at Post Office Road, Or FAT BOYS STADIUM what ever it is called today

CAS VEGAS>

All i will say is that Fax fans are an absolute delite to watch rugby with, no aggro, no hassle, just 2 sets off passionate rugby league fans with respect for each other. To my Yorkshire colleagues. I salute you.

As i have said before, leigh fans are great. congractulations on your win

you may come from wrong side of pennines but still would much rather you win trophies than that other lot i have mentioned

I wondered how long it would take until the ' have a go at fev because we lost' brigade began. If it makes you feel better then go right ahead I give you permission

thank you all fax fans thats what rugby league is about

staying outside after losing in the last minute to say congratualtions and shake hands was superb, i really hope u can get to the grand final so we can do it all again

with a different result obviously



no shame losing to a side like you have, strike weapons all over the park, good halfs, Good pack, strong out wide and wingers who know how to finish.

I have seen enough from Halifax thogh to see that we are still a threat and we can maybe get to another grand final if we play like that in the play offs

second half

second half effort from your guys was superb, enjoy.

As a Leigh fan I'd like to echo the above sentiment - the game is rightly being hailed as one of if not the best NR finals - and for that you need two teams who are playing top drawer stuff. A big success for 'lower' tier RL was that game yesterday.

Came out of the ground and about 40 'Fax fans were waiting to shake hands and say good game, well done. Really really brilliant sportsmanship, you're fans are a credit to you, was talking in 'spoons to your mods Mam too, really nice lady.

Hope you get to the Grand Final so we can have another day like yesterday.

The winner yesterday was RL, the fans from both sides went with full intentions of enjoying the day, and from the moment we got off our coach and started walking down the prom, the friendly banter started, shook hands with loads of Fax fans, stood at the bar and in the pub chatting with several, the game was a cracker and could have gone either way right up until the end, on the way out your fans where waving to us from their coaches, and several were stood on the corner of the car park shaking hands and saying well done as we left.

Well done to everyone associated with Halifax (and Leigh) you did RL proud.

A great weekend out in Blackpool, sharing beers with Fax fans and having a good chinwag



.

RL was the clear winner, a superb game of rugby with 2 sets of outstanding fans







3 of us walking through the coach park before the game got invited into the Fax fans coach pic, anyone got a copy of it?

Hope you guys finish in the top 2 and win your first playoff game to go straight to the final. Then Fax will battle hard to meet you there for another top day out! Best two teams in the league (in terms of excitement, quality of rugby and entertainment etc - subjective opinion I know...but Im sure an opinion shared by many), best two sets of fans by a country mile, and the best game at any level that I've seen for a long long time. I can't actually wait to watch it back on Sky haha!

Was a great atmosphere, good craic around the town, from just a passing word in Coral Island or a chat in Spoons with opposition supporters, and even a bunch of saints fans in town for the darts wishing us well!

I was speaking to those Saints fans going to the darts in spoons too mate! Really good laugh in there yesterday afternoon.

They wern looking for a pub by any chance were they? One of them was probably me if they were.



Cracking weekend, good rugby and good banter with the Leigh fans long in to Sunday night. Lets hope we get to do it all again in the Grand Final.

There was quite a few along the way back to the coach but there was 2 sets of couples in particular right on the corner of the car park making the point of shaking hands and saying well done to almost every Leyther who was in our party as we went past.

If that was you............................. nice to meet you lets hope we meet again.

I got a great video of the Manchester pub before the game.. Every single person in there chanting "are you watching featherstone"... haha
