| 2 days after the announcment and i, like many of you posters on here am still not hearing any concrete proof/reasons why we were not chosen over Wakefield!
This topic is going to get debated and debated until the cows come home, and i doubt if we will ever get a straight answer (because i dont believe that there is one!) as to why Fax were left without a licence.
But one thing that has really been grating on me is the fact that our ground The Shay was used for SL games this year, two of which were live on Skysports!!!!
i ask you this, what would Huddersfield have done if we had simply said "no", i presume that this was an agreement made between the council, the RFL and the two clubs.
Where would Huddersfield have played?
would they have used Wakefields ground???!!!!! i thnink not.
this alone is proof in itself the the RFL have just used us in their little 'game', and something must be done to compensate our club and directors for their hard earned money, and more inportantly TIME wasted jumping through hoops in the last 3 years!
The RFL must answer some big questions from powers in govenment way above their own heads to explain this mockery of a sporting body!
it will get worse before it gets better, but something has to be done!! soon aswell before our sport is literally destroyed from the bottom up.

I think Nigel Wood said they would be meeting Halifax next Tuesday which was the earliest possible date when everyone concerned would be able to meet.
Knowing the RFL though they might change it to Wednesday or Thursday or Friday or without letting Halifax know and then punnish us for not turning up.

But as long as Wakey don't publish theirs we will have nothing to compare it against.

| Its quite clear what they will mark us down on!
Youth - fair point, but how ar we to run a full youth setup on our budget while atill maintaining a competetive 1st tea,. and running arounf ticking all the other boxes they wanted us to!
Money - we have none.
however run the club for the last few years at a profit!
we needed a Gartland or Mr Probiz coming in about 6 months ago, we were a shoe in then!

Sheffield, with their paltry crowds, run U23, U18, U16 and U15 teams and are competitive enough to be above above Fax in Division Two.
Maybe you're not as hard done by as you claim.

| I said it before. A stadium does not make a licence bid. For me this is the only place we beat wakefield.
There are two areas all championship clubs need to be angry over:
1. Championship clubs can never, and if SL clubs are run properly, should never be able to compete with a licence bid from a SL club.
2. The RFL should have told us our bid was not good enough when they received it and not used us a pawn in their game to give the process credibility.
Other championship clubs can laugh and our board can bitch and moan as much as they want but unless the championship clubs unite and raise these concerns to the RFL in a sensible and considered manner nothing will change and we will all be used to play lip service to their system being acheivable for all.
We have been the best club in the championship, bar widnes for three years and I suspect we came nowhere near. That is very very worrying!

| We were most definitely used. They knew both Crusaders and Wakefield were in trouble at the start of the year. We were simply kept in the process should both go under to give the RFL a get-out clause. Lucky for Wakey they found a rich benefactor to save their bacon. Simple as that really.

Freddie .... if all of a sudden we had a member on our Board of Directors who had "business interests on a par with Mssrs Lewis and Wood, and enjoyed the same kind of activities", then maybe ... just maybe .... we would immediately "tick all the necessary boxes".

Ah, I expected that. Just pointing out that the "impossible" can be achieved.
But - don't worry - stick with your Everybody-hates-us-we've-got-a-great-Super-league-bid-and-we're-trying-as-hard-as-we-can-and-we're-much-better-than-everyone-in-Superleague-already-so-we-don't-know-why-they-won't-let-us-in-because-there's-nothing-we-can-improve-on attitude.
No skin off my nose.

| Aye, I can see why you get upset when little clubs like Sheffield and Featherstone achieve something you big clubs find impossible.
Well, happy wallowing. Sorry for talking sense. See you in 2015 and beyond.

That's the really sad part Griff.
If you are the same Griff as on other forum's i've seen you.
You can talk about Rugby League when you want to but not on here.
I can see the difference on what is said on here to what is said elsewhere.
One is said without bias and one is said with total bias against one club only which is Halifax.
Do you not see the irony of talking about paranoia.
Your even inventing things that don't exist.
As if to gather support for yourself you are even commenting on another club, Featherstone as if you speak for them and calling them "a little club".
Well this convenient alliance that you claim to have, go and test it out and call them a "little club" on their forum and see how they respond.
I can only speak for myself on this but I don't regard Sheffield as a little club at all or any other club for that matter.
I respect Eagles for putting a tough competative team on the field year after year with a shoe string budget.
Truthfully I have never heard any Halifax fan say anything derogatory about Sheffield.
We never expect to win and know we could well lose.
Eagles were shafted and sold down the river by thr RFL a few years ago themselves.
I cannot understand what is wrong with you, apart from bitterness for some reason.
After saying previously to us "stand back and take an objective view of yourselves".
Well apply your own advise to yourself, I don't go into insulting people but your acting like a child.
Happy wallowing, self pitty etc etc, get a grip man, you sound more like GRIEF than Griff.

| Griff.
Having thought about what you have said some more and you having mentioned "Little" and "Paranoia".
It's not a man problem your having is it?
You know, not much to get hold of.
I've never actualy had the problem myself but I do understand having a "Little"er of something can be embarrassing for some.
Especially those from South Yorkshire that often don't have any.
Don't use the tablets, they just get stuck in your throat and give you a stiff neck.
Try the cream but be sure to wash your hands afterwards.
I have it on good authority that it will cure both of you in no time at all.
If it doesn't work then don't worry.
" BALDNESS " is not too bad really just wear a cap.
I thought I better mention this at the end because paranoia might make you think I was refering to something else.

I can find fixtures and results for the first team and reserves (u23's), but nothing for any other teams on your club website. Unless you are still counting last years development of u14's, u15's, and u16's (scholarship). If you are indeed running this myriad of teams, as you claim to be, then can you please post links to them. Also, I'd be interested to know who is paying for these teams.

You're fed up of it, so you came to the one place you'd find it the most. Sherlock Holmes would be proud of your methods of deduction.
