Just watched a preview on Sky about this seasons Championship and Northern Rail Cup. Not one mention of....... Halifax

No suprise there then...we,ll just have to show em on the pitch eh???

Cant Say i'm shocked. Same old Sky.

Dont worry , next years Chamionship launch will be at one of the Championships newest stadia , The Shay

It would seem the LSV is ' one of the newest ' this year

So if it is ' one of the newest ' but not ' The ' newest , which is ' the ' newest ?

I was wondering if it was the same championship they were talking about as the one we are in? More prize money - er no. New sponsors - er no and an international feel - did they mean a team thrown in that will constantly be on sky so everyone will accept them getting a licence in three years? Brilliant wasn't it? We all supposed to feel grateful?

i watched this earlier and i think the main presenter cant think of his name was just about to say who are favourates for the league this season then he realised it would result in someone saying halifax

Toulouse, Gateshead?

I love it when people forget about us, it gives us less pressure to go and do our stuff

To be fair Fax should dominate this league for the next three years and be one of the best bets for the next franchise.
It wont happen,It wont happen.

We might dominate but we wont get a franchise. The rules will have changed by then. Finals and trophies wont matter as much as being a club in north eastern england, ireland, scotland or france.

You read it here first

Unless they kick a Yorkshire team out their won't be another West Yorkshire team given a Franchise.

As someone said the rules will change to suit the RFL that is a racing certainty.

We did get a mention can't remember if it was Eddie or Stevo that said great to see some players from the past there aswell Paul Dixon from Halifax. See 4 whole words

they will have to give us a mention eventually we might be the dominent force outside super leage for the next year or so they cant ignore us forever.

You obviously don't watch Sky often,look how long it took them to visit the Shay last year

The game sold its sole to Sky years ago, they own RL.
Its what annoys me with the 'new boys' when Sky and media hype goes into overdrive about them, yet clubs who are trying hard to do better like us get sod all in mentions, its this 'positive discrimination, that makes me dislike clubs like Celtic Crusaders.
Even the BBC when they do cover RL are at it like the other week when Harlequins got 6K against Manly (decent crowd but London is full of Aussies come on) the BBC said a crowd of 'over 7k'.

AAArgh.

looks like widnes will be the team that will be talked about on sky and on boots n all alot. i hope we stuff em live on sky and then how will they ignore us.

bootsnall@skysports.com Can I please comment on the total lack of a mention of current National League favorites Halifax when discussing the forthcoming season. Was there a reason for this? Just poor research, or a lack of any real interest on your part in the efforts Halifax have put into getting together a very competitive squad.. As a regular viewer I await your reply. Yours hopefully Wonder if they will? Wa-ke-s
