I truly love fax to bits and was one of those fans who left early but had to help a fellow fan who was injured recently to safety before it got crowded and proved a struggle to get out. I do too always stay behind to congratulate the team on a job well done.

However on a serious note I was astonished to read in the courier that there was over 3000 of us lot going to the GF to witness halifax's extreme point in the season!

My point that i would like to make to these fans who came out of nowhere who made it today is now is the time to make fax shine for the next season and get behind the team for good! We are bringing in these new players (Papa New Guinea duo for short) and resigning the core of the rest of our team.

Come on everyone... Let's look forward to the new season and be proud of who we are!

Some of us had to get back to Milton Keynes with an 8 year old...so had to try beat the traffic,would love to have cheered the boys off,Pats missed a few,but what don't kill ya,makes you stronger...onwards and upwards....loved it!!!!! Great season,chin up everyone,tomorrows another day!!

I'm absolutely not a miserable get Tony and am normally very positive and clappy. I was in a bad mood by the end of the game yesterday and after watching it on TV I don't feel much better today. We were suberb for the first half hour and could have been out of sight. Barrow dug in, came good, and as a life long fax fan I'm gutted. Look at some of Lewis' photo's of the players at the end of the game hugging parents, wives and girlfriends. They looked pretty gutted too. Grow up

I'm extremely proud of the players last night, it was a fantastic effort. It is grossly unfair to blame Patterson's kicking performance, most of his kicks were from the sidelne and the only realy 'easy' one was where the Barrow player was playing Yawnion in trying to charge down the kick.

It was the same story though, we didn't get stuck into Rooney half as much as we should have done, although it was an improvement from the Craven Park debacle.

Mick Govin was oustanding and should definitely be given a contract and 6 shirt for next year. Just showed how close a game it was that the official MOM was from the losing side.

We'll be back next year, stronger and much better off for the experience.

Very rich coming from someone who enjoys playground "jokes" about folk who have just died! Anyway, I'm not arguing OFF, so leave it.

On reflection I certainly thought we were the better team, and at 10 nil up we should have killed them off. But they got a couple of game breaking decisions from the ref which sealed it. It's nice to see little clubs do well (aka Wimbledon in the late 90s in soccer) but for the credibilty of the franchice applications in a couple of years time it would be nice to see Halifax and Widnes at the forefront, possibily replacing Castleford and Wakefield.
