Initial 21 man squad announced

Halifax (from): Johnston, Sharp, Saltonstall, Smeaton, Tyrer, Murrell, G. Moore, Ambler, Kaye, Cahalane, Manning, Barber, Fairbank, Tangata, R. Moore, Maneely, Bracek, Divorty, C. Robinson, A. Robinson, Greenwood

The above squad is good enough to win with ease on Sunday,I'm just hoping the ground is not to muddy as I feel a dry surface would benefit us.UTFAX.

The best thing about that squad is that it appears that the close season injured seem to be ready to go.

Yes I agree and also there is enough cover to change selection depending on the state of the pitch.
It's bound to be muddy as it is in use the day before.

Bracek and Greenwood failed to make the 19 man cut.

Id expect Connor Robinson to miss out and be 18th man then.

Delighted to see top man Adam Robinson back where he belongs.

For me Bracek is a must to play both him and Dane are blokes that hate losing and would be the first names on the team sheet , we need committed men to fight for the FAX cause.

Bloody hell a lucid post from Mr J

will the game be on tomoz with the football game being cancelled is the field in a bad state

Didn't know the Jessie's had been called off.
It's raining now as hard as ever with no respite in sight, keep in touch with either us or the club website.
Best wishes.

Cmon John, get you , Tezzer,and Littlerich on the pitch with your pitchforks an hour of prodding should do the trick, but if all else fails ,feel free to ramble over to Batley.

Tonight's open training session has been cancelled "to preserve the pitch"
Might pop over Ian, although with the tens of thousands Lobbymen you predict will there be any chips left?

John you know to many chips are not healthy,from what I've been told Leigh are expecting a very good following tomorrow,and even Andy Greg is travelling with us to watch.

Town fans going mad about how late it was called. Even worse when the game actually got called off in the morning.

Should be fine for the rugby though.

That's good news thanks Greg.
Now let's put our tin hats on and await the vitriol from the Town "fans"

With the amount of rain you would think the pitch would take an hammering if the game goes ahead.

Who makes the call, if it's the ref does he have to make it from a purely rugby perspective?

Can he even give any thought to the pitch being ruined even if he wanted to.

What's in the rules?

Has to be by the book this one so I think its only the ref and the 2 teams get to make a call on this one. With Haven having far to travel Im sure they would be very much in favour of the game going ahead rather than have to re-arrange for a mid week game.

My contact at Haven says there is a pitch inspection at 8am lets hope its positive news

Had a bit of feedback from Town fan on Twitter about match being cancelled and going on about us not paying the rent again. I'm usually pretty laid back with what thecTiwn fans say, they're entitled to their opinion but some of them are real dicks.
If our game does go ahead then they'll be whining for weeks.

Im surprised they can use twitter to be fair, not the brightest bunch.

Some of them Norman, you are being very generous.
In my humble opinion Wendyball is rotten to the core from owner down to supporter, at least the police horses won't have got wet today.

Well it's absolutely piddling down now so can't see the match being on after seeing what the pitch was like at 2 this aft, bugger.

Heard one of the most honest statements doing the rounds from a bloke in Sheffield.

called 5 live Breakfast to say that with “honourable exceptions” he thinks that the average football fan is “of limited intelligence,” and would use all their disposable income to follow what is “probably the only interest in their lives”.

“The game is run by spivs, chancers and gangsters, it’s played by morons and it’s watched by cretins” he said.

Don't think he's far wrong tbh

Mr t hall?
