But they don`t want as much wonga as the ones that have been let go , we are still well below the cap and that is fact.

| Quote ="Graeme Smith"I think what annoys people is the perception you have of yourselves as being a 'big club', which in everyone else's eyes other than your own, you are not.
There is no deference towards Halifax from Batley of indeed any other club I can think of. I'm 35 and Halifax have been, other than one fire alarm inspired Grand Final victory, mediocre in my memories.
What I do remember (and these are all factually correct) is you attaining just 3 points in a SL season, a last minute win in a play off against York to avoid further relegation, begging buckets at the Shay and being booted out of the Challenge Cup for fielding an ineligible player.
This season you'll be remembered for not being overly gracious when rejected for SL, and then it coming to light that your helicopter-delivered application was so wide of the mark that it couldn't actually be judged upon by KPMG.
Having looked at Wikipedia for two minutes, your last real success in the 'big league' was a quarter of a century ago, and was followed by non payment of players, transfer embargo's due to financial mismanagement, nearly going into liquidation and the proceeds of selling the Shay (for £1.5 million) being sucked into paying off debt rather than redeveloping a council owned ground.
To put it simply, no one understands why you've got such a massive opinion of yourselves.
I'd be interested to get a serious response on this other just being labelled 'bitter' of 'jealous', which I certainly am not.'"
Apart from say a dozen or so posters on here who have looked at the coach and the team that is being assembled and anticipating being very competative, how is that being arrogant?
Who else from the much larger Fax support who never come on here have you spoken to if any and of these who have come across as being arrogant?
Yet you tar everybody with your anti Fax biased brush.
It is only Halifax that you claim as having a masive opionion of themselves.
I don't see the same comments against other clubs like Fev for example who recently at boardroom level, supporters level are publicly saying that they will dominate this league for a good few seasons to come.
Your not saying they are being arrogant are you.
If it is not because of being jealous or having a dislike for the club then what is then.
You are clearly showing discrimination and yet blame Halifax for why you are doing it.
Sort yourself out before telling others what they need to change.

Look big can mean having bigger pulling power and support it don't always mean you are the best club on the pitch, look at football and how many 'big clubs' are not in the Premiership like Leeds, the two Sheffield clubs and Forest yet you have clubs like Blackburn, Bolton, Fulham, QPR and Wigan in it.
Bigger clubs should do better than smaller clubs but they don't do always as its what goes on the pitch that counts, well normally anyway even in RL.Its what makes sport worth watching sadly money is taking over and the juggernaughts like Man U in football are taking over.

I can take most of what you say on the chin and accept some is true about the finances but the comment about not being 'gracious' over not getting a SL franchise and our good effort at a PR coup with the Father Christmas and you swallowing the RFL line about our application being poor through their 'bought' auditors KPMG is way off the mark.
What are we supposed to do just accept being stitched up as acceptable behaviour?
Thing is if your club had one of the best levels of support home and away, is pretty succesful on the pitch and has a long and proud history like Halifax what do you feel you should say when compared to others without that - nothing?
Fax are probably now along with Leigh the biggest clubs outside SL closely followed by Fev.

The long breaks in between the seasons aren't as bad for us Halifax fans as during the quiet moments we enjoy sitting back and basking in our own glorious awesomeness.

| 'I don't see the same comments against other clubs like Fev for example who recently at boardroom level, supporters level are publicly saying that they will dominate this league for a good few seasons to come.'
As a fev fan, I have heard nothing of the sort. There is, among the fans chatter about going for the treble, as the fax fans have already mentioned. Most fans beleive this is an aspirational target, not a likely one.
Any quotes about the boardroom comment? I'm struggling to think of the possible personality on our board who would make a comment like this.
The difference is when there is discussion and banter between fev and batley fans, the 'size' of the club is frankly not even worthy of note. We are all rugby league!

You are probably right, past vicories are great to look back on, but more important is now and future.
But when we get excited and enthusiastic about the coming season we get accused of being arrogant, can't win..:......
I am excited and really looking forward to next season. We won't have our own way all the time but I do expect to win more than we loose (hopefully)

Which part of my posts have ever claimed either that Fax are a massive club or refer to anything in the past.
Answer none and none.
My post was in reply to your "can't wait".
I no doubt will always struggle with someone who can't read, son.
