fair play to Halifax for letting him come back. It sounds like he'll be on his way back there for the start of the NL1 season though?

It's unlikely they had a say in the matter. James is Bradford's player and any loan agreement would no doubt have a recall option for the parent club

i think it's more a case of Halifax playing ball to keep the good relationship between the clubs going.

Excuse my ignorance but if a player is on loan to another club, who pays his wages? And does it count on the salary cap?

the recall agreement only comes into effect after May. Fax have agreed to the Bulls request to get him back to cover all your injuries at the moment, fingers crossed he will be back sooner than later as he looked impressive on Sunday, he even had a 10 min spell at the end of the game as left centre!

Depends on the terms of the loan arrangement. They can have it either way and purely depends on what the two clubs agree when the deal is done. But if James is being paid by the Bulls then yes, it would count on the cap. If he is being paid by Fax, no, it wouldn't count.

It's a sad state of affairs when we have a good relationship with the enemy.

To be fair, while they may regard us as enemies, most Bradford fans aren't actually that bothered about Halifax in the slightest these days.

Small mentallity

Bothered about who?

Enemy?

We are only Bradfords enemy if we draw you in the Challenge cup, otherwise you are just another team who plays in a different league, about 8 miles from Halifax.

SKY may have successfully brainwashed a lot of people, but some us know who our true rivals are.

I have never been able to raise even the slightest ire about Halifax at any point since 1980. The most animosity I've been able to raise towards them had more to do with the amount of rain that fell on my head one Boxing Day in the final years of Thrum Hall.

Each to their own I guess, but the mere sight of a letter H has me foaming at the mouth.

You had better not look over in my direction on Friday evening. I'll be the one in the stand wearing my Halifax scarf....... Dont want you having a seizure.

In my experience the vitriol from Fax fans has always been worse than any ill feeling we've sent in their direction, witness the "retards" insult in the Fax programme for instance.

However that issue was long ago put to bed and I had no qualms about supporting them financially when they were 3 weeks from closure a few years back.

Neither did I and a few mates. It wasnt done patronisingly just that not to assist in such a great clubs survival would have been unthinkable.
Great memories of truly uncompromising (nay, brutal) matches usually played at Odsal in a quagmire.

You dont have to tell me. I sit amongst some fans who still hate Bradford with a passion and cant really understand why I go to so many Bradford games, but thankfully they are a small minority.

I do tell them, that its not Afghanistan or Iraq and nobody gets killed, its just a game of rugby and the Bulls are in a different league to us, so we dont even have any friendly rivalry at the moment.

If we ever get back in to Superleague then I will shout for Halifax all the way when we play Bradford, but I will still want them to do well in all other games.

Fax did a lot of things badly when they were in SL, but not everything was wrong.



They had the cheek to pass a bucket collection around in my local, there was a fair bit inside so I nicked it.

Indeed, I thought the pre match entertainment of two women having a pillow fight on the pitch was superb.

Re relations Fax/Bradford.

I don`t think Caisley did help matters a few years ago and that caused a lot of ill feeling. I went to Odsal to watch Halifax play Northern and we sat in the old directors box with Joe Phillips who was a friend of my dads.
Mind you I would now rather shove a wasps nest up me a-se than go to Odsal or watch the Bulls unless of course they were playing Fax!
