Great support from Fax tonight, shame the players did not give us all what we deserved a full 80 minutes, yer we got 60 but yet again turned it off when we needed them to really dig in.
Take a long look at yourselves you let us all down.

How did we manage to lose to a club with no fans but seem to be more professional than Halifax RLFC.

Halifax RLFC Board - said it before get your selves down to Sheffield and see how they manage to do things, cos we need to learn from them.

I don't think we need to have a go at the board things have changed and improved massively at board level.

I agree. Mike Riley and the rest of the board have done a fantastic job of turning this club around
However i do think they have a big problem on their hands with MC. Can we afford to sack him after he got a new 2 year contract? Perhaps if we all feel so strongly we as fans could donate towards the cost. I know i and 7 lads i go with would try to help out.

Well whatever you all think its not time to sack him, too clear to the play offs unfortunately and how do we genuinely know he is the problem and not something else? We don't.

We can't go sacking a coach ever time we lose 4 games, i know its terrible but we need consistency if we are even going to be considered for super league.

I for one have enjoyed the last few years since MH and MC joined the club more than any i can remember

Value for money?

I work in Derbyshire so I decided I would work late and go, so my wife came down to MeadowHELL on the bus £5.70. As I met her at MeadowHELL we had a meal £29.50 then a little bit of shopping (wont include this in the calculation) then down to Don Valley, paying £28.00 for the entry fee. I then bought a couple of tea's and a bottle of coke over the evening £3.50.

Total spend for the evening £66.70 to watch ants run around a field (by heck there a long way away) and to watch a team without spirit and totally lacking in any confidence and determination.

Was this value for money?????????????

no

To be fair though, you could knock £30 off that question as that's nowt to do with the rugby. You could have picked up a sandwich or brought one from home. I get your point, and I'd asked myself the same question but I suppose the entertainment is far more than two hours as we are all going to spend all day today talking about it at work and in the pub

Your absolutely right, and I could have convinced my wife to stay at home, which means I could have probably kept my costs down to £20.00. But that still would have been poor value for money.

That said, I have been to nearly every game in the last 20 years, good and bad and no matter how much I moan I will be at Batley next Thursday, hoping that this poor performance has come to an end.

I just wanted a moan and to point out that DON VALLEY is not a good venue to watch rugby league

Did you not pick up any good bargains in meadowhall then?

Ditto

might go to playoff game at home but cant seem myself going to next few games at least its just not worth it

Now you really are having a laugh

Good for you, nice to see you supporting the club when we most need it. Anyone can come every week when we are winning

Faxfan I resent your sentiments above really. I've watched this club for 30 years home and away but answer me this do I currently want to waste petrol money and admission money to watch a team that appears to have little or no motivation . . . . . . The answer is NO. I too will not be going to Batley or Leigh and wasting £60-100 quid of my hard earned dollar when the players show the fans little or no respect in terms of there effort on the field. PRIDE is all I ever ask for and this team is currently lacking in this and other areas. Does that make me a poor fan? With 2 kids, a preganant wife and an uncertain economy I choose my leisure spending wisely and this team currently does not give me any value for money.

Don Valley is terrible for any sport other than athletics. Far too far away, no atmosphere, and for what its worth no fans either but the few of them there are have the last laugh as they beat us again!

No Chris I'm not saying you are a poor fan. However respect is a two way thing and it would appear from things mentioned on here that it isn't been given two ways here. I am a fan not a player and I can see we have a very one sided view. It would be nice to have a players forum so we could see their thoughts but unfortunately we can't. Do you think the players respect us when we are squaring upto them in the south stand, or shouting abuse in their faces? Or slagging off the board when they have improved no end? Criticism is fine but its how we go about it. As I have already said they are still human.

Fair enough for your value for money comment but plenty of people on here said they weren't coming again after the Fev game..and to be honest in my opinion at that stage it was a little bit fickle and fans like that we are never going to retain unless we win the league every year!

Is vitriolic abuse at the end of the match classed as good supporters??


If so, take a bow Fax fans.

£7 for juniors! and it'snot even a rugby ground!

We had joy. We had fun.
We had seasons in the sun,
but the hills we would climb
were just seasons out of time.
All our lives, we had fun.
We had seasons in the sun,
but the stars we could reach
were just starfish on the beach.
We had joy we had fun
We had seasons in the sun
But the wine and the song like the seasons
Have all gone.

I think you should invest in a TV Chris with the money you save lol!

Exactly Lee, I quite agree!

What I resent is how fans such as yourself come out of the woodwork when we loose a few games. I cannot remember seeing you on here for months yet as soon as we loose you are on here like a regular.

Fans like me Nat? - Don't behave like a petulant child. I have a right to post as and when I like and the tag moderator under your name does not give you the god given right to dictate when or how often I decide to post on this board. I will post here when I feel like. For your information I look at the board everyday but people like yourself put me off posting with immature, irrelevant comments such as yours. We have lost 6 out of the last 8 and I chose to vent my feelings after the Sheffield game? - Get a grip son.

I agree with Chris on this, if a team can't put the effort in, crowds will tumble.

I think we are probably pretty much back down to the die hards in terms of fans now anyway. We had probably gained an extra 200 or so this season who will now disappear
