Never mind, the game would probably be called off anyway if too many Halifax fans turned up. Too big a fire risk.

You mean you wouldn't be able to cope at the gate as they are only used to a few hundred fans, and everyone would miss the game, again !!

Yeah, right. Never any big crowds at Bramall Lane, is there ?

Only from away support like Leigh and Fax, Next year like i say just leigh then. you will only need one turnstile then, or table and tin !!

Have you made any signings of new, This banter is getting a little boring now, need something real to debate/argue about.

Oh yes, gates have collapsed since the Wednesday got relegated.

Clearly not then.

Surely Halifax fans should just accept wrong doing on this FFS? Rather than goading it about as your just giving a bad name as Champions across board really.

On pitch for Halifax it's been superp off the pitch it has been one hell of a mess and that can't be denied unfotunately and the worst thing you can do is rub stuff in other fans faces especially when your club has admitted they were wrong surely?

You'd think so wouldn't you?

Which part of "You broke the rules and have gotten away with it" do you not get?

Again, can you post a link to the RFL rules that Fax broke? I thought you were looking into this, the night it happened. Still havent heard back from you.

I wanted to respond to a few of the posts, but I chose yours.

Can you explain, and give examples of what rules have been broken? Halifax have admitted moral wrongness, not any rule breaks.

I would expected that any letter sent would have been "without prejudice" and is no admittance of guilt.

I do think that any money Sheffield have accepted out of court will ne lost from any gate receipts next season.

I only hope that we star you in several cup games, at your gaff, which will increase your losses in gate receipts.

The player elligibillity rule maybe?

I've made no mention of morals, just rules.

Again..can you post a link to the RFL rules on this?

Surely you have had time to look these rules up - you posted this ages a go

The player WAS eligible to play, it was verified by the RFL, hence no rules broken.

What a pathetic post! You were in the wrong yet you want them to suffer mote, why? How does that help anyone? Should sides like Halufax just be allowed to do what you want? As I'm sure a few bigger fish could do this to you as easy if they wanted too!

You're obsessed with Halifax. You need help.

Not really, it's actually quite a good discussion board and though I agree Aston is a prat but some of the reaction about this is unreal and if boot was on the other foot would be interesting!

You mean the reaction of one particular goading poster? Yes, he represents all of us.

I marvel at your arrogance.







Yes, no RFL rule was broken. Just the law of the land.

There was some unlawful activity at the final recently - none of which breached RFL rules. A real comfort to the victims, no doubt.

Back off - just know when you're in the wrong and be more humble.

And you comparing this to what happened to Dave Singer is disgusting. Just goes to show what a idiot you are.

RFL rules aren't the only laws we live by.

And you know it.

I'm fed up with Halifax's "we won so nothing else matters" attitude.

Get a grip J20, I do sometimes agree with some of your comments, but you miss the point completely.

Halifax was not in the wrong. The agreement was between the player and Sheffield. Halifax even checked with the RFL, who confirmed that it was okay to play him.

Aston played Barlow to play against Sheffield in the nines competition, which strangely enough was in the 2010 season, but spit his dummy out of the pram when he played in the play offs, saying that he can't play against them in the 2010 season.

I think that Halifax did nothing wrong and to avoid any more negative publicity have paid for them to go away.

I have been following the threads about the ‘Barlow affair’ on both sites and am amazed at the puerile comments coming from a few posters about not visiting Sheffield so they lose gate money. I would like to point out to these people that in 2006 Halifax were very close to liquidation and Rugby League supporters nationwide helped out by visiting Fax for their home games. I amongst other Sheffield Eagles supporters did this more than once, so to read these comments makes me very angry, but will not deter me from supporting my own club when they play in Halifax next season. Grow up and get on with watching and supporting Rugby League.

Damned by his own gesture of goodwill.







Once again, I marvel at your arrogance.

Mark Aston is a fool and not a great coach. Might have been a good kicker in his time thats about it. HE was crying like a baby.

Halifax didnt break any rules, however what I found shameful was on sky after game when he started crying which was sad to see. Should have admitted got beaten by better team.

Anyway, good luck to sheffield next year.
