No I didn't take it that way, I think the info they give out could be better. I have been doing this for clubs all year cause it's actually more accurate and has all the option

It asks you to pick a seat just cause it's how the system works but the ticket will be unreserved so can sit anywhere in the open stand.

When you're on the seat selection screen there should be a drop down at the bottom to select children/OAPs etc

Thank you for your help and good luck for the rest of the season after sunday of course.

I think the last Fax prop to break tackles and offload was Luke Ambler!

Anyway, I watched the documentary "Another Bloody Sunday" on YouTube and the oldies on here in particular will love it. It's about 50 minutes long and follows the Donny team as they try to break a mega long losing run. Unfit but passionate players playing on a cow field at Tatters Field, £35 for a win and £12 for a loss, directors having meetings in a portakabin, players smoking in the changing rooms after the match. Viewing highly recommended.

Their star man at the time was a huge guy called Tony Banham (who I think died fairly young). I remember him on the charge at Thrum Hall and Keith Waites (our skinny winger) tried to stop him with a shoulder in his mid rift.

We did a 25 or 30 year anniversary of the documentary some years ago and invited all the players and staff for a live screening. Almost all of them came, Tony Banham's family also attended in his honour. Was a great event. Sadly lost a few more since then although Stewart Piper, the winger who said "Another Bloody Sunday" is still part and parcel of the club and there most weeks

I knew we'd win!



What a MASSIVE 2 points that was! And we should open the gap wider next week by beating Dewsbury, with Swinton taking on in form Fev and Haven at Wakey. Donny and Barrow also have tough games against Batley and Toulouse respectively. Surely we can't mess it up now?

One point between being a legend or a loser . Is there any other sport where winning and losing on the pitch is not important? It’s always puzzled me especially when the government has so much arbitration on day to day decisions especially under the pretence of ‘equality’ why they’ve never looked at rugby league and thought ‘ wtf in the name of corrupt capitalism is going on there ‘

A win is a win, wasn't particularly pretty or stylish, But its 2 massive points.

I said before yesterday, anything from that game is a bonus, we should expect to beat Dewsbury and Whitehaven, and even the most optimistic of fax fans know we aren't getting anything from the Bradford or Toulouse games barring some miraculous change of form.

Well what a result and the reality is that and a win next week should be enough to keep us in the division and hopefully it gives the chance for the club to get sorted off the field.

That’s it exactly, first thing crucial to avoid the drop on the field with a massive 2 points and other results going our way yesterday ( just need to not think all we have to do is turn up against Dewsbury ) then watch out for what’s going on off it which has it’s own big question marks.

I was convinced that Robinson would kick that last conversion and then they knock on in the next set talk about a swing in emotions. Like as been said no slip ups next week and that should go a long way to making sure we avoid the drop then hopefully things can improve off the pitch to help on it for next year.

I didn't go but kept checking the score updates on the BBC website so when I saw we were winning 16-6 at about 4.30 I thought we'd done it but checked again 10 minutes later and it showed 16-16 with the game still in play. I was gutted as I expected the score to tick up to 18-16 assuming Robinson was lining up a conversation as he never misses. So obviously delighted to see it change to 16-17. Reminds me of getting out of jail in the 2004 relegation play off match against York.

Watched the highlights and Pauli looked a right handful for them. Would love to see a line breaker like that at Fax.

I thought Sunday was one of our better displays of the season which probably says a lot about our season. A much better defensive attitude and a will to win was enough to beat Donny and for that the players deserve credit. It was probably a good game for the neutral to watch and an exiting end topped off by Woody's winning one pointer. More against Dewsbury next weekend please. Up The Fax!

Pauli seems to divide opinion because he is big but lazy that said used in the right way he can be a handful and we could do with some of that.

We certainly do and it's about getting a balance within your team.You can then justify the Connor Davies types that give you 80 minutes solid hard graft but will never create you anything..

Hopefully if the rumours about Sebastine Ikahihifo are true could help in the impact department.

It goes back to the argument we all had about Springer. We are where we are because we lack 1 or 2 quality impact forwards.

And a couple more minimum in a full squad.

Weren't even an argument IMO and Doro when he originally fell foul of Grix,look where that stance took us..

Totally agree no argument at all, if you won’t do what your asked and ask to leave because of it or toss about it training then you won’t play and then go and help yourself then there’s the door whoever you are.

Otherwise where would we be now if those attitudes were allowed to flourish?

ultimately of course your right,but initially scapegoating players who are actually contributing more than others isn’t the way to manage.Still our loss is Hull’s gain..

Gwaze and King, another couple of quality forwards who weren't "properly" replaced. Looks like King is injured for the rest of the season for Haven and only managed a few minutes against York, a massive loss for them if he's missing for the remainder.

Never heard of the bad apple and someone causing unrest in the dressing room then?

Ultimately of course players like that are doing more harm than good and deserve what they get and being shown the door is precisely the way to manage them.

Scapegoating players

they were all being told and asked to do the same things at the same time by the same people which included more than SG on the coaching side and the others responded.

To start with Springer played every game so how was he “initially” a scapegoat?

To start with Doro didn’t play much because of his attitude so how could he “initially” be contributing more than others?

The line of reasoning for both Springer and Doro sounds more like contradictions are us as does our declining form since SG departed.

Grix struggled to manage egos and that has continued badly at Hull. All reports about Dorro at Bradford and Springer at Fev seem to suggest the opposite to what we have been told about their behaviour. Its true that us getting rid of them could have given them a boot up the backside but when you hear similar from a number of players, then it could be that Grix simply was not cut out for the role. Like Richard Marshall it could turn out that hs is a fantastic assistant and there is nothing wrong with that at all, horses for courses and all that.
