I'd always supported my ex at Rugby Union but having gone to Thrum Hall to watch Fax play Australia many years ago I was completely hooked and never looked back. I wouldn't dream of switching ends. I watch other teams of course on the telly just like everyone else but would never "support" them like my home town team. I think if your a loyal fan then you support your club through good and bad times.

I think thats what the people upstairs dont understand when they start talking of merging teams in local proximity to each other. Can you imagine Bradfax or Huddfax I don't think so, do you!!!!!

Was it a murder?


Or was it a crap season where we only won one match and then had those points taken away for cheating? It was enough to test the faith of any diehard fan I guess . . . . . .

Was it the unvieling of our new name by Big Nigel ? The one that was chosen by a Courier comp and was so far advanced noone would ever forget it.Can`t remember it now but it seemed like a good idea at the time for him.

Never ever will that happen.
Fax in RL since I was born, my Dad took me up Thrum Hall when I was about 6 and my Grandad was a fan at one point we had 3 generations watching Fax.
If it ever came to not watching Fax I would just give up the game of RL altogether and never switch to any other club. Sometimes the way the game is run I feel like that but its in my blood so it would be very hard to just give up now.

Halifax Town and Leeds United in football.
Town as I am Halifax born and bred and they are my local team I went with my Uncle when they had good teams in the early seventies, saw them beat both Man U in the Watney Cup and Man C in the FAC, happy days.
My Uncle took me to see Leeds against Arsenal at Elland Road when I was 10 and they had a great team and I was hooked but always kept Town at heart and when the hooligans spoilt things I stuck more to watching RL as got sick of all the trouble at football.

I do support all three clubs through thick and thin, blimey it was thin for Fax in the mid seventies, even thinner for Town in the early eighties and its not been so good for Leeds Utd these last 5 years.
But you stick with them don't you.

I don't like turncoats, its easy to do that when things get tough. I also get sick of the 'I have supported them all my' life Man U fans, like a bad season for them is not winning anything yet still being in the top 5 of the best league in football, when did Man u have a bad season last? I would say 1974 when they got relegated to Div 2 (by Man C at Old Trafford and Leeds won the league, now that was blissful).
I despised any ex Fax fan who turned to the dark side and supported Bradfut, although I do not know any myself, they are the lowest kind of fan to me. How can you turn your colours and support your own clubs biggest rivals?
Where are they now then???

Strange, very strange..... I bet the Leeds fans also thought as much.

Sounds to me like they were taking the Michael out of him.
