FWIW to all you Fax guys, I really hope for a good tough challenge in the Championship this year rather than a stroll in the park, which incidentally did Leigh no favours come the 8's.

Before I continue let me make myself crystal clear, of all the Yorks Clubs, I would prefer some success for Fax over any of them.
I suppose the reason behind this is the similarities between both Clubs. Neither have had huge money behind them, both have enjoyed high times & success but much more in the way of adversity & both live in the shadows of bigger, wealthier & more successful Clubs.

Now my main point is that with the investment from DB in Leigh I feel it pushes all the other Clubs in the Championship that much further, raising standards hopefully across the board. Sure, some Clubs just won't cope but larger Clubs such as Fax, Bulls, Eagles etc will have to *& will* go so much harder & smarter than ever before.

Investment by the usual suspects in this League should give rise to an exceptional season, media interest & therefore further investment & commitment into Championship RL Clubs by sponsors.

I hope there will be a rise in average gates across the Championship, bringing in increased revenue & therefore more investment into quality players ....

Can you see where I am going with this ?

Success breeds success & money comes as part of that, in turn breeding more success, it's a circle we can help grow as fans of clubs attending our Clubs games & buying the merchandise etc.

As an example Leigh have already sold over 1,000 season tickets *not bragging* just a fact.

I sincerely hope that Fax continue to grow & play to a high level, as well as Bulls, Eagles etc, because as we/the Clubs continue to push each other to higher standards, eventually it will bear fruit.

Only then come the 8's will we see the established SL Clubs really enter twitchy bum time.

Best of luck to Fax, Best of luck to Leigh & Best of luck to Championship RL.

Excellent post.

Superb.

Great post and I think it kind of makes perfect sense after Jonny Headlines comments, a strong vibrant championship only increases the hype, SL fans & players all of a sudden see it as a good competition in itself and are more engaged in it.

If the funding equals itself then the 2 comps become interesting.

Now all we need is somebody to put a TV camera in front of it every week

We'll get the Thursday night graveyard slot!

I'm putting out a missing persons, Where's Mr Jagger?Perhaps looking for Max Bygraves on Vinyl.

Just been out of the loop for a few days, really good to see all the interest building for next season, it's looking like it'll be a cracker. DB is spending his money not mine so I've io issues there, better in rugby league than another sport to be fair, only wish I had that much to push about so he he as my support, just needs to be careful what he says sometimes.
I hope we can match Leigh in the pitch as nobody can argue that they don't have a good squad on paper but as we know the game is played on grass ( or plastic if you live in a chemical works ). They've still got Beswick so will always be a threat there.

Bring it on. UTFAX!

Thanks Norman for bringing us back on thread, and to think some used to complain about Charlie and I.


I agree with your sentiments regarding Derek and hopefully as he has said in his recent statement it will make other clubs sit up and take notice.

70 replies,over 6000 views on a player thread that doesn't even play for Fax that's sad

.John you are right about deviating off thread,I'm not bothered who Leigh sign we are Fax .
Let King Degsy sign who he wants we will keep rolling .

Can you even get the slightest whiff of your own hypocrisy Mr J? There's not a thread on the Leigh forum that you haven't thrown off topic with countless crap filled posts

Have a quiet word with yerself you sound more like Atomic every day.

Like Charlie Carolie on ours then.

Ignore him Mr Jagger. Or set jasper on him.

I'd get more sense from a chat with myself than I would from a conversation with you terry

Get Back on your own clubs site. And stop slagging off our fans, ils Not wanted.

Just giving terry a tiny bit of the garbage he's been giving us for months. Apologies if it annoys others. Although if you read my 2 original posts, 1 was to make a rugby related comment on the Riley thread and the other was a response to one of Terry's typically y comments to one of your own fans

Blimey Neil, what's up? Didn't the paper lad deliver your Beano.
Iggys only giving a bit back.
Two reasonable posts on the Riley topic for which he got trolled.
Let's not fall out we are all Rugby League fans.

No he didn't , didn't bring Roy of the rovers and dandy either

It's called sticking up for a fellow fax fan against those foreigners from wrong side of Pennines John.

Well said John



especially in the season of good will to all men,including Iggy ,I have never met Iggy but he does a great double act on the Leigh Forum with Oggy,maybe the could team up with Terry and Jasper,as Rugby's answer to the Crazy Gang.

I used to like reading Bunty.
