wwwwwwwwwwooooooooooooohhhhhhhhoooooooooooooooooooooooo !!!

get in there fax, Thankyou BOD for listening to the fans who were expressing there dissatisfaction with this years season so far. Brian will be a fantastic addition to the team and if Matt Calland did have anything to do with this maaster stroke then i have to take my hat off to him, it must have been difficult if indeed it was to do with him, swallowing his pride for the good of the club.

Hopefully the players will not start to show some pride and passion, Lets hope Brian & Matt together can inspire this team to some silverware this season, its not too late and we could now start by turning featherstone over after the bulls !!.

Absolutely delighted with this and as much as it was rumoured never for one moment expected it to come off. Well done to everyone concerned and I feel like my disillushionment as been lifted in one fowl swoop!! - Cant wait to see the benfits to the club!! - Now as Linda said earlier lets get some more volunteers to help us with the collection on Sunday and help us hit our £25k target quickly so we can ensure the BOD get the financial help they deserve. I should also have a piece running in the Courier in the next few days with an update of our progress / events so watch this space!! - There is also an update in the programme on Sunday so make sure you buy one!!!!

For those of us that can't make Sunday will the update be published somewhere else other than the programme?

I think I mention further down the paragraph I should have a piece running in the Courier in the next few days in the main body of the paper rather than the Sports pages. I'll let you knwo nmate when the Courier confirm which day they are running the article so you can look out for it!! - We need it to go in ASAP as we are plugging Bloemys event next Wednesday as we would like more numbers for a great event.

It says the progress will be published in the courier too. read it again fella.

So it does.

Jeez Louise. It's true as well.

The lift this has given the place is immeasurable...even the most (understably) miserable members on here have been lifted. Much needed and well timed. Good lad nobby

you know what, you not wrong there, we might even be able to get a atmosphere going now for sunday.

Great appointment.

just copied this from George Rileys twitter page.

"Brian Noble to Halifax deal is not a done deal.Just spoken to Nobby and he's talking about a consultancy role..nothing more"

"If Nobby does go to Halifax then he would be free to leave his role if a Super League job offer came up for him "

Can not believe Widnes have not gone in for him as Betts is crap.

Not the right choice for us IMHO! Though I do like Noble.

Not sure what a 'football trouble shooter' does if it doesn't effect Callands position. Will be a very sound move for Halifax if can get him spending time in and around the team. If not could be an expensive risk?

Well i think he is a good coach and Betts wont be good enough for us in Superleague.Hope we get a decent coach as been boring with no news on players or coaches.

Club are not denying or confirming anything officially (club website) even though Sky have "announced" the appointment. They appear to be distancing themselves at the moment (understandably) but it does seem that things are maybe not quite as cut and dry as we think. So its fingers crossed now for me. I hope it isn't a marketing gimmick / ploy to try and sell more tickets and serving purely to raise our profile.

Or Noble putting the pressure on maybe Salford to come in for him.

I don't get how it would end up on the Sky News ticker as confirmed if it wasn't true. Sky only put stuff there when it's true and at very worse put 'Sky news understands' before to save backlash in case it isn't true (and even then it usually is). Someone of importance in this matter MUST have told Sky. It's not a channel that announces rumours to be fair to them.

Brilliant news

No worries, I am sure there will be plenty to have him here in a consultancy role, a

The fax site is stillo saying rumour, its not a done deal according to gearge riley who spoke to him this morning, again if this is true.

I hope it is and would like more than a consultancy role, we need hands on treatment right now. Saying that i suppose any help Matt and the boys can get, i hope its not just for bringing in and sourcing players.

Who is George Riley??

look for georgyboy on twitter.

I don't "tweet".. Just wondered who he was.

Right i have just been back on twitter.

go to twitter and type in brian noble, just look at the comments from various places. One of which states that SKYSPORTS news have taken down the comment about Brian noble, Also tHE CALANDER news have commented that halifax have labelled it as purely speculative. Best you go look on there.

As for tweeting, Neither do i as i dont have a clue how or why, i just use it for its information.

Must admit I was surprised that it was talked about as a coaching role rather than consultancy (we had Millward in as 'coaching consultant' when Tony Benson was head coach in 2006) so will be interesting to see how this pans out.

Seems Steele has dismissed it as speculation now. SSN have announced a fair few things that didn't pan out haven't they?
