He probably just hopes the ref applys the rules concerning holding down correctly.

Hope he does apply the rules because we hold you up longer than we hold you down and while there's movement there isn't alot he can do

As for the score I hope we do it but Fax players are just as good as ours so anything could happen Who ever wins let's all enjoy the day/ weekend and do our clubs proud

I'll ditto that JT

Of course I am talking about on the floor. Im not sure where this thing about Fev holding teams standing up for a while before putting them down has come from because Ive not noticed it at all in the games between us so far.

I have heard that Fax have asked for wrestling style ring ropes to be put around the pitch to help against your WWE tactics.

Nah, they won't Fall for that one.

Allthough I'm sure I did hear some of the Fev players saying "ask him ref ", "ask him ref "when tackling the Fax players a couple of weeks ago and they have asked if Dale Martin Promotions will sponser their shirts for the final.

Fax by 7, attendance 8400.

We will really have to be up for it on the day to beat a quality Fev outfit. Hope we can do it but more importantly lets hope that both sets of fans have a really good day regardless of the result.

Gonna cop out and go for a close encounter either way. Lets show the boring SL how to play RL the right way!

My prediction is that the crowd will be smaller than last year. RFL changed dates and at least 6 sets of Fax fans and myself are all away this weekend and that adds up to around 30 people who went last year. I'm sure there are more, stupid decision.

Anyway, up the Fax, bring home the cup and the DVD will really be worth watching.

Aye Norman. It's the school hols - loads are away, it's the wedding season, gala season, etc etc. and the weather is now much better than it's been.
I would imagine the crowd will indeed be fewer than last year.

Awful weather last year will have kept the gate down a bit, think you may hit 9k with better weather you will get the Holiday walk up.

Aye mate but Halifax are involved so the figures might be bigger than they look

Kick off 5.30pm?I hope to watch on Sky after the Widnes game on Sunday.Hope Fax win as i have time for Littlerich as he sponsored me for the London Marathon.Goodluck Halifax.

15:00 kick-off i think

Nevermind i will miss on sky too now.

Slight thread drift I suppose but I'd actually thought something similar a couple of days ago regarding OFFTHECUFFs point.

During talk of predictions around the crowd numbers as well as the score, someone mentioned that we may get a few walk in fans on the day.

I find it ironic that a game from our league, not massively televised yet may certainly interest a neutral SL fan is played on a Sunday afternoon on a rare occasion that widnes, warrington and saints are all at home. I may of course be mistaken so I apologise if I've looked wrongly.

I appreciate saints kick off in the evening but its still a push.

Sods law I suppose.

Anyway, my heart says fax, my sky bet account says fax, the cas and Leeds fans at work say fax and I've never listened to those voices in my head yet so fax by 9 points

you're taking notice of a Cas fan???? Seek help!! Seek help now!!!

Oh I'm shocked...

They have such lovely things to say about you, you know,

well colourful anyway!

In my defense, I live in a Bradford post code so spend my time listening to some crazy stuff!

Heard the one about an old city dump being made into a curry house...

Personal favourite of mine that one is .

See you guys at the seaside, we're all heading for a good day out, win or lose

Yes but that doesn't necessariy mean the game will finish on time because if we're losing I might just get my box of matches out.

O.K. Going for Fax 28v18 Fev. Mrs Hudd-Shay goes Fax 30v24 Fev.

As women always seem to have the last word, I agree with her!

My partner says win or lose shes on the booze

best outlook. good just to be there for the day out.

Looked like every single one of these things worked in our favour.
