When someone ploughs the big bucks into Halifax then they'll listen, If it's true about Wakefield then it's because of the promise of heavy backing. It's why Widnes got in and it's why Wakey could remain in. It just irritates me that three clubs have gone into administration and are/could be in SL ahead of us, despite our on-field achievements. What a screwball "game" we are fans of !

Unfortunately I'm fairly confident that sadly we won't be given a SL licence in 2 weeks.

Im sure we wont be in super league in 2 weeks Chris, on the 21st july!



but what makes you so sure we wont be in in 3 and a half weeks?!



were in i tell ya! in!!!

Well Simmsy if enthusiasm was a boxed to be ticked then you would do it for us that's for sure





PS. Your not prone to hallucinations by any chance are you.

I'm with Chris on the sensible mind-set, unfortunately, the people of Halifax don't want to watch Halifax RLFC in SL. That's our biggest let down I.M.O.

How can you possibly say this when the people of Halifax have not been given the opportunity to watch Halifax RLFC in SL for some 7 years??

I watched the three Hudds games at the shay. Quite frankly, I would have been more entertained watching Champ RL.



Its not the end of the world.



Just get your PremierSport subscription for next season! Hope they have good coverage/highlights of champ footy. They had some crap games (Leeds Met etc) last year

We won't be given an opportunity this time either. Our great club is simply not the right club as far as the RL are concerned. What concerns me is how we brush ourselves down and face up to another 3 years in the current set up.

We'll be in Super League this time in 3 weeks.



NAP.

Spot on.



The club must be really frustrated with the apathy. Three finals in three years and champagne rugby to boot. Some of it's to do with money but much of it is downright lazyness. Wake up Calderdale - get off your fat 'arrises and get down to the Shay you play station Columbo watching zombies!!! Sundays are for the Shay - not the sofa!!!!!

Personally I always felt the club never put enough effort behind re-engaing the lost thousands of older supporters who were lost to the club when they moved from Thrum Hall and the advent of SL. Still stuns me how many still feel betrayed by the club the once followed in droves all over the country, irrespective of the division they were in.



Its alright targetting youth, but when parents and grandparents really dont want to go they will make any excuse not to. I was dragged there by my Dad as a kid and through his enthusiasm became hooked. Not sure what the answer is to getting them back, but I still feel its a critical component thats missing when it comes to raising Fax's profile.

All I'll say to that is, yes, they ran like scared rabbits the last time we were in SL, while some of us hung around.

Didn't the Bulls cup-tie speak volumes to you ? the turnout was dire in all honesty.





The people of Halifax have had three big finals to enjoy in the most recent of consecutive seasons, for only 3K to go for a day/weekend at the Blackpool final in my opinion is rubbish. I was talking to a chap at the gym I use the other day and he was telling me that his party have purchased 50 tix for the NRC final, only 8 of those are regular supporters, so if other groups are in similar percentage situations, the take up really isn't that good is it ?

I should imagine the Ivy house will again be running a trip that has non-regulars amongst it's party too, and if you think about what's in front of the amateur game clubs like Halifax & Leigh will suffer spectator wise when the NCL changes to summer rugby, because lads won't be able to be involved with RL all weekend if they have families. The RFL have a lot to answer for.
