Wasn't debatng the why's but simply the aftermath


Obviously Fax fans will be frustrated with it all but again wasn;t confidence shown on here nor at the club on the day so after hearing you meet all criteria it appears you were further ahead then you believed last week even so maybe there is a real chance in July.

Yes the process is not the besst by any stretch but about being delayed to July etc that was always in place? Yes the 'preparation' line does seem a bit odd delaying a few months but wouldn't you rather be still in with a shout than not at all?

P.s. yes I can just see SO'C putting money into Widnes working hard over 4 years to get the club back into the top flight then happily playing hald our games in Wales and cutting revenue





Why don't Leigh stick their hands in for that then?

Just hoping your Chairman overstretches himself



Reel em in thats my motto.

It's fairly simple really , the RFL don't do ' Negative '

Now the situation is that a club currently in SL is being dropped , I would suggest that is a fairly negative thing to announce , relegation by committee isn't something we have seen before

So in an attempt to make it into what resembles a competition they need a ' plucky ' lower tier club to focus on , rather than the reality of the situation , which is a club being dropped into relative obscurity for the rest of time

A ' will Fax make it into SL ' , rather than ' are Wakey doomed '

It explains why they wanted Fax to pass the attendance criteria , otherwise they would have had to drop them like they did Barrow

It really is quite pathetic

So just what's in your mind then?

Rather than credit Fax for hitting criteria you'll give a conspiracy theory that the RFL told them too ?

=#0000FFWidnes chairman Steve O’Connor has backed the Super League licensing system that enabled his club to reclaim their place in the top flight.

“I was always a fan of the system,” said O’Connor.




I 'kin bet you were Steve.

There have been posts on here suggesting that the RFL told them to do it , and I seem to remember much criticism from some Widnes fans for them doing it , it was the Leigh fans who said ' well done '

The decision in July is potentially execution by committee , they need something else to focus on , that is Fax

Major dummy spit springs to mind.

Which they have since mentioned themselves on here! But at the time theyvwete saying it was correct now suddenly it's what the RFL told them to do?

Would you rather be on SKY and in the national RL press about being a possible SL team getting free exposure or just being ignored like the rest of the division are? It's not great but bet Halifax RLFC would rather still be in the process than out conpletely!

Starbug is Rugby League's version of Michael Moore.

He WILL get under their skin. Right now he's in a TV deal with Universal Studios for his debut film:
[uBowling for Catalans [/u..............starring Ernest Borgnine as Kath Hetherington and Andy Serkis as Richard Lewis. Pity John Candy is dead - Nigel Wood anyone?

Go get 'em Starry

' At the time they were saying it was correct , but with much

going on '

If your scenario is right then its brilliant that fax are still in it but if fax are being strung along in order to keep the three clubs who are possibly in trouble on there toes then i have to say id be digusted.
The fact that the rfl have said the elevated club should get an extra 4 month to prepare would suggest its the latter.

He makes stuff up to suit his stupid moans too.

Evening Halifax folk, as has been said previously i want you to join us in Super League for 2012, even if you don't get the nod in the coming months never give up and come back twice as strong.

Good morning everyone, lovely day.

Fact, We were told by RFL to "inflate" our last home attendance.

Fact, We were "asked" by RFL to apply for a franchise.

Fact, We were told we met the criteria on all fronts (if we could meet the attendance criteria)

I believe we will be in Super League next year.

O'h and Fact, Well done Widnes.

Struggling to make Sheffield today. Amazing how my wife, daughter and mother happen to share the same mothersday?





Have a great day.





p.s, Got a feeling might just make Sheffield.

This is what I mean though John , the RFL already know if you are in or not , but to put you in at the same time as the existing SL clubs will ( their words , not mine ) not give you sufficient time to properly prepare , probably condemning your 1 st season back in SL to one of performing poorly and finishing bottom , which is one of the stated reasons for abolishing P and R

RFL

Proof or GTFO.



Why would they tell us to inflate the attendance? We could still have applied as Barrow did and got rejected. If we didnt make criteria then this would make the RFL`s job so much easier. They guarenteed 1 team a place and i would think they would want their decision to be as easy as possible which would be having just one team meet the criteria. By telling us we meet minimum criteria they have caused themselves a problem because its clear some other teams in SL dont.

Because if thats the only thing we fail on and are ground is better than half the sl teams i can see this been true. they know attendaces rise in sl from playing the likes off dewsbury with there 30 fans. They would't make it harder for them selfs by saying we meet criteria they would have used something along the lines off are youth or unoperational north stand

I can do no more than quote what a director told us last year in Toulouse and what he told us after the last game.

p.s Why so offensive.

I know it sounded like that but thats why i added the Smiley on the end. Its the usual on here you have to back up what you say with hard solid evidence otherwise it dosnt count lol. Having a director tell you is not evidence enough it has to be recorded on a recording device and transfered to MP3 and uploaded on here for it to count.

Or a "linky"

Having only one club pass the criteria would make things simpler , but also not really show the Championship in a good light either ,

But as I said , having Fax in there in July turns it from an elimination to an application process

So which one of us are you saying is lying. The director or me, remember there were 14 of us present.

Is this the same director who said that Mark Gleeson would not play this year?

Who was present? We are going to need names and testimonies. We are then going to need that MP3 uploading so we can take that along with the names of those present and present it to the Newspapers so they can see how corrupt the RFL is.

Which director? Most of us know which one but for the rest of them, they may wish to ask him in person.
