I am sure that there would be ways around this, that would satisfy any Anal safety team. However it is all academic now, given the fact that nobody is going to either stand.

looks like the roads a dead end.........

There just MIGHT be a glimmer of hope we'll get let off on this. For starters we stuffed Swinton and Ostick could well be argued not to be a "pivotal player". Also there could be an argument that the earlier rounds can't be classed as "proper" rounds until the SL clubs enter at a later stage. I remember Steve Evans playing for Fev in the early 80s and being allowed to play for Hull in the later rounds on a simliar basis. Fingers crossed.

I really do hope so Tony. The. Only losers here will be the fans like my 7 year old who stared blankly and. Hopelessly at me whilst I tried in vain to explain WHY.

Please show some sense and compassion Mr rfl for the good of the game.punish those in the wrong if necessary but please NOT THE FANS.

Yes, Encouraged, I first found out by some geezer telling me in Fax town centre. I half believed him, then continued to the Shay just to make sure. There was a A4 poster on the turnstile saying "match postponed". Nobody there to explain. Spineless guttless gets - I was SO mad! TWO hours before KO. FFS.

I found out whilst on the train coming over from Preston, this after I turned down a day at work as 'Fax have got a big cup game'.

C'est la vie and all that jazz...

Surely not the same people I called spineless and you completely 100% backed as completely the opposite TF??

Well said Chris, the number of people on here that have blindly defended the set-up at Fax over recent months is very amusing. The few that have seen the failings will still be branded as non-supporters that want to see us fail!!!
Maybe now TF will admit that the club is in crisis and the so called leaders are not up to the job.

You know ... it makes me so fecking mad that people like you and Smiff blindly criticise. Seriously, Standidge, if you think the club is so badly run why don't YOU step in and help in some way? Join the board of directors? Put some money in? NO? I thought not. Full of the proverbial shiite.

What the same people you have just openly criticised you tool in posts. That is all you can say isn't it - You put some money, join the board etc etc -Well thats a valid argument if I have the money to make a difference BUT choose not to and also a schoolboys argument so grow up. Unfortunately I DONT have the money or I would have a LONG time ago. You seem full of $hi . . . . . sorry good ideas so why haven't you??

The fact that in a recession when many like myself have struggled to keep a roof over ourt heads (by being made redundant), I've still manged to pump a couple of hundred quid into the club only for their utter incompetence to put a hefty nail into the coffin of HRLFC.


Get a grip man - Your trying to defend the undefendable currently

I wonder why lol

A little out of order, a personal insult infact.
Firstly, how have i blindly criticised? All i have done is comment on what we as supporters see happening (or not happening in some cases). I would gladly step in and help, I would gladly put money into the club if i had any to spare, sadly the mortgage and family are a little higher on the priority lists. I would gladly join the board of directors however would fond it hard to commit the time required due to my own work commitments, mainly my second 6 month tour of Afghanistan this summer. Sorry if you think the common folk like me and smiffy are full of shiite, everyone is enbtitled to their opinion, and that is yours!!
I won't be posting my opinion of you. I'll wait till we meet in person, far more grown up way of doing things.

Now get back to defending your mates at HXRLFC and earning browny points.

Jeez. I give up.

Because I pay ridiculous taxes so you can pick up a giro every fortnight.

Poor effort, smiffy. It's because you're not in a very well paid job cos you're as daft as a brush. And I should know, my avatar is Basil Brush!

How'd you explain it to your little one Standidge?

Why do you always have to be the Authority on everything relating to the club, its players and its staff?

Everyone who posts on here (except trolls) are Halifax RLFC fans, that want what is best for the club. We want to see the team succeed, we want to see the club move forward in all areas. The amount of passion we all have for the club is illustrated by the reponses people give when other people accuse them of knowing nothing and being full of shiite!!!

I see that you have over 5000 posts, so you obviously know far more about the sport of rugby league and our club so we should all bow down to you and treat you as an oracle??? I don't think so but there is a difference between a bit of banter and personal insults.

Me and Smiffy, as you refere to him, do not know each other. But we both obviously care deeply about our rugby club. We have an opinion which you disagree with, but so what? Why bring up money and the fact we aren't investing any?

Explain what?

That the game was off and might not even be played at all. Did he understand it cos my little lad didn't.

I think you'll find I have a huge amount of respect on here, standidge. You, plus an odd few others, are in the minority. Having said that, I think we'd better call it a day. When Tortured comes on here he'll do his nut, he don't like stuff like this see. Have a good evening. TF.

My lad is 11 so he is pretty much fully clued up, been a fanatic since he was 3. But I do remember having to explain some bad times to him. Like our last season in SL. I remember carry him back to the car at Cas, him being in tears and asking "Dad, will we ever win a game?". That was his first season so he got off to a bad start.

But I can see how there must of been some very upset young children today, like the kids that dance at half-time, of the mascot or just about any kid that spent the weekend looking forward to the game.

Well my grammar school education and Uni degree are worthless!!!! Thanks for letting me know TF!! - With regards to your avatar it's a muppet with a hand up its ar$e which for you is quite appropriate.

While you're at it you'd better tell my mortgage company too that I can't afford my £250k house anymore cos my wage is e .. . . .

-Seen as you now everything about me!!

I think there'll be more than a few kids upset by the events of today.

think everyone upset and not just fax fans.

Mr Fax with all respect can you give us some real news for a change!
