| Quote ="Malfax"As someone who is close to the club, I can tell you that it is very disappointing for us in the office to come in the day after a loss, and, remain positive and try to "Sell Halifax RLFC." It's even more disappointing to read some of the posts on this web site. Knocking the players helps nobody.
Rumours about why we are losing, for example Martin Hall hasn't left the club, he's actually taking advantage of school holidays to go on holiday with his family in Mexico.
The players are very upset, just like the rest of us, and, yes I get very upset.
It's a difficult time, but to read some of the things posted doesn't help.
Infering that this is the worst season ever is just stupid. I think this is one of the best seasons I've attended.
Lose by a single point to a Super League Castleford,and, being applauded by the Cas fans has got to be good.
If you think after losing four games that sacking the coach and the board is the way to go, we'll never achieve anything.
We should all be doing everything we can to help our players. See you all at Batley.
Malcolm P'"
I'll be there and will drag a few mates with me as well.
Proud of Fax this season. no team turns up to play bad just an honest bad patch were going through.
Bad patches make the good patches feel better.
Keep entetaining us Fax - can't wait for Batley game

I also don't like posting negatives, sure I'm pi$$ed at losing, sure I'd rather win ugly, sure I'd rather we hung in for a bonus point when losing, but I don't see as me posting on a messageboard will inspire the coaching staff or players onto victory.
I happened to drop into the office this morning on a little bit of business and I bumped into Hilda washing the kit, heart & soul of we volunteers, DEVASTATED ! We go back a long way me & Hilda, we care about the club/players/performances & everything that goes with it, we are one so to speak.
I go into the office and I cannot believe the comments being quoted from the messageboards about sacking Matt, but it wouldn't just be Matt would it, there's Proccy, Bally and Gonzalez, they're a team.
Comments about Calland wearing a BLACK TRACKSUIT !!! Perhaps his washing machine's broken and his down on his $hitty luck right now, we all know how it goes I'm sure.
Hally has done a runner !!!
Drinking culture !!!
Good grief, maybe I should cease reading & posting on the messageboards, worst season ever ???
Look at the attendances at Workington, Rochdale, Oldham, Keighley, Hunslet for recent games, we're really not that badly off.
And just for a comparison, I wish we had a Ken Davy, Des Johnston to throw money at our club, but we haven't so we're reliant on folks working their tired a$$es off in the good name of Halifax RLFC, Am still proud of my club and hope to be at the front of the queue for a GF ticket to watch us beat whoever we are playing against.'"
Whey Hey!! ....well said Marillion....up the mighty FAX.

| bottom line is any team is going to lose games,
its the mannor in which we have lost the last four games that is upsetting!
From a spectators point of view - to team has gone from winning week in weekout to losing week in week out
Agin from a spectators point of view the team deos not seem to be gelling the way it was 10 games ago!
Something is wrong and its down to the coaches and players to put it right!
all i am asking for is a good match day experiance with a team that is competative, right now that is not the case!
and for the record i am 100% behind my club - but something is just not right at the moment!

| Abusing the players is not the answer - let's get behind them.
However, I do not agree with the blind faith shown by some on here. Everybody has to take criticism in their working life. In fact if you can't take it, how can you ever improve?
The game at Batley is a cup final. If we get 17 players giving 100%, it will be hard for us to lose. That is why I expect us to win (with all due respect to a Batley team who will make it hard for us).

| I miss very few matches and, unfortunately, there are always loads of fax "fans" that continually abuse players! at the moment Worrincey is getting the brunt but not too long ago it was Miles (unbelievably!!!) it seems that a large proportion of the crowd just aren't happy unless they are targeting one of our own players.
To me this isn't what suporting a team is about. i'll cheer on any player wearing that shirt. How do these "fans" feel that abusing players will get the best out of them?!?!?!

Spot on, we must keep the faith as the club need us as we don't have a moneybags chairman like Barrow and Widnes.
To the hardcore fans like us keep it going.
To the new recruits, give us a bit more time as with your extra support we can move this club even further forward.
We are nearly there, a No6, winger and 2 new props and we will do well next season.

| I feel a tad humble at reading the posts on here, more so the thread starter Malfax, and I feel slightly embarrassed about my own moaning.
I think the crux of it, for me anyway, is that we started the season on fire with some of the most entertaining rugby played by Halifax for over 10 years, and as such I really did think we were an outstanding team, far better than our NL1 rivals. So when the wheels "seemingly" started falling off I found it hard to take, especially after being so confident of reaching the NRC Final - I was planning the weekend trip to Blackpool well in advance, and to lose against Widnes was gutting.
But in reality, even though we have of course some very good players, we are NOT so much better than our rivals. Infact there are some very good players in our league who DON'T play for Fax, and it's a bluddy tough league, especially at this stage of the season. To moan at losing at Sheffield is .... well ... it's totally ridiculous.
And let's face it, if the lads didn't try then we'd lose matches 60 nil.
So .... I for one will no longer moan and groan, and I will continue to shout for the lads in the matches to come.
And I have also just stuck £100 at 13/8 for Fax to win the GF, to demonstrate my faith. Up the Fax!

Bloody hell. There's faith, Blind faith and a diagnosable delusional psychosis!!!!!!!!
I'm not sure I'd put £100 on Fev if we could field the Aussie national side!!
A ton is still a biggish wedge of wonga to put down on a team seemingly in freefall" - economic downturn or not!!!
