go on,explain yourself ! - what's the big problem ? I've admitted I made a mistake,what do you want from me ?
Someone representing Fax spoke with me at TO at the last game - that's fact,not lies! thers' nothing sinister in that ! he seemed a really nice guy who said what he thought,why does that make me a liar ???
whoever this person was (sounds like Malcolm Powell chairman from the supporters trust who I mistook for the chairman of the club (I found a photo of him on you tube ) was not very confident of Faxs' credentials for SL and was envious of TOs' facilities & potential ! that's all,why does that make me a liar ? where's your problem ?
I look forward to seeing him and the rest of you loyal fans again at TO in 2011 |

What's your problem exactly?
Maybe this guy made a mistake?
I heard Mr Powell saying the same stuff in Toulouse so maybe, just maybe..... it's true!!!!!!!!!!  |

Take no notice of some on here. You obviously just made a mistake of the persons name, doesnt make you a bad person, nor should it disuade you from coming onto our message board. You are more than welcome.
That said, I dont think anyone on here really rates our chances of a Superleague lilcence this time around. But we should make the application firstly to show the RFL that we are serious about being back at the top and secondly because the outcome of the application, when refused, gives pointers where the club should concentrate for the next three years. (that is of course until they change the application rules in 2013) |

what's the problem with admitting when you are wrong ? try to grow up a bit mate or get that chip off your shoulder - fortunately most of the other Fax fans i've met over the years have been decent folk - lighten up mate ! |

no problem Bob,i've a thick skin
TO made the licence application for exactly the same reasons,simply to show the RFL of future intent - a rule change in 2013 would not surprise me in the slightest - I personally would bring back P & R asap to try to liven up the lower leagues but that's a completely diifferent subject... |

Sorry for any offence, just bored on a wednesday afternoon!
I too agree about P&R but you have to whisper it quietly in case you get shot!
For me, the way forward is for all the championship clubs to work together to improve our SL bids so we have many clubs ready, not just the ones the RFL want to pick. The harder it is for them to pick a club and turn down others, the more obvious their bias and rule bending will be. Such a reveal will not be great for the game's credibility but sometimes needs must. it has to be made clear that the improvement in championship clubs is through the clubs' own initiative and not any RFL directive.
Most Championship clubs are better run than Super League clubs - how many are in financial trouble operating on a small percentage of a SL clubs budget, some have much to learn from us!
Sorry again sanjunien

| Just got to play the game haven't we, thats all there is to it, apply and read the joke report and see what pathetic reasons come out for justifying doing whatever they want.
On a positive note though, a lot can happen in 12 months, and they have hinted in the past that if all members agreed they could consider expanding the league further, maybe the angle of more games and more income is the best hope. If they want to copy the NRL, were smaller than the NRL so can add a few teams and can change our names to Dragons and Roosters 
Its going to be interesting to see just which boxes they untick of ours now that we finally cottoned onto playing them at their own game. |

no problem - will you be at TO for the match by any chance ?
I think Donny have the right idea - Carl Hall & co are trying to make a go of it and good luck to them - as you intimate,the fate of the non SL clubs is in their own hands - it needs good management and not over ambitious plans,living within your means etc - the thought of any club going out of existence sickens me.I can't see anything other than some kind of SL P & R saving the lower leagues just to give the clubs & fans something to play for - the pot o' gold is the SL for all the lower league clubs IMO |

What no 12year old and Stobbart lorry? Where's the WOW factor, just 3 binders 
Only joking, all the best  I really hope your bids a cracker as it will really make the RFL think hard... heh you COULD still get in if they choose to dump another SL side? Unlikely yes, but who knows.
As was said earlier you just need to play the game if you want SL unfotunately that's the way it is. As a club Halifax have two options the Leigh way... throw toy's out the pram at every call made and start saying you aren't allowed to run an academy when you are etc etc. Or the Widnes way... get on the RFL's back about how you can improve. They said to us improve youth production, so we get more lads in the first team, they say prove finances so we smack in a 1mill profit that way they just can't say no when it comes around again. SO'C promised to deliver a flawless bid and that's what you need to do anything you can improve (so not location etc) do it and make damn sure the RFL know your doing it
(to add not saying I totally disagree with what Leigh are saying BUT if they ever want to see SL again, acting hard done by won't get you there, we have found that out).

Think I'm right in saying Widnes used 40 players this year - 13 look to me like they would count as home grown and that not including Paddy Flynn who we picked up at around age 18 or Haggerty who came through the ranks. Admittedly most of them only played the odd game but 7 of them played 6 or more games for us. |

Maybe around the same for us we have , Barlow brothers x 2 Danny Jones , James Hayley , Anthony Bowman . Our Dual reg is local lad Jacob Fairbank plus I havn`t counted the lads who came through our Acadamy anyway but don`t live in Calderdale eg Penky. |
