Wigan won't let Spencer play, they might let Greenwood play however.

Think we (Scorpions) can score a try or two but Fax wil be running them in for fun

Fax 72 Scorps 18

att 1,032 (40 or so away fans)

me and my hobby horse

Mike-As a fan of both Halifax clubs its frustrating that they clash on any
occasion.I saw several people at the keighley game who had been to Stalybridge
earlier in the day.

Havnt seen anything on the Fax Website re admission prices, according to the SWS site they are £12,7,3. Junior season ticket holders free.

Pretty sure I've had 2 emails about this from the club. 2nd one today, in fact.

Upped my crowd prediction by 1 as didn't realise that Mike is bringing his hobby horse.

Sorry mike, you do a good job, however can you tell me why you expect a crowd similar to that of the Easter derby with keighley who did bring a number of fans.

This is pay on the gate to a lower league team in the challenge cup, realism is 2000 max. I'm astounded you think it will be more.

Blimey, go back, start at the beginning of the thread, read them all, and then you will see "it's a joke"

Can I revise my prediction to a 6-0 Fax Win, plenty of defensive effort but lets take it easy going forward, I'm doing the scoreboard and don't want to be too busy

Won't Ryan be there to help? Or, will that be hinder?

I'd be very dis-appointed if we concede any tries tomorrow. I can only see a 'Fax win between 50 & 60 points.

I'd be very disapointed if Scorps can not get at least one try and again tomorrow if Crusaders can not get one at Wigan, going to both games as a fan of Welsh RL and know both will be total stuffings but as long as they give their all and hopefully get a try or two it will be worth it.

Living in Loughborough at the time I went to The Shay to watch the Students in the cup 3 years back and they got a couple of tries and a great reception from the Fax fans and a repeat of that on both counts would do.

Will we ever nil anyone?

conceded five trys but right on last bit still.

I wonder when was the last time the "away" team scored 84 points ?

next round winner of oldham/barrow tie at home. please.

Possibly Myton Warriors v Halifax RLFC in the previous round?

i recon your right!

its about time we had a home draw!



sheffield at home, so we can smash em again!

Beat me to it!

Credit to South Wales, came with nothing to lose, threw the ball around and had a good go at it!

Speaking to their fans after the game they were pleased with how they played, said it was the best they'd played in a while.

Think it helped their cause when the Scorpions number 1 smeared himself all over with Vaseline at half time, Fax players couldn't get a hold of him. Very slippery character.
