at the shirt launch last night, Mike Riley said that the Club's application for super league was going in this week. What do you think? isn't it just a waste of time and that we wont get accepted it might be better to stay where we are and win things

We have to try develop the club rather than just stand still. I for 1 would not be happy if we was not going for it good luck to Mike and all the directors.

Filling in the SL application is very important IMO. OK! On the surface Widnes are rightly clear favorites and good luck to them, but we have to show the RFL that we remain serious contenders for not only this, but also future applications should we be unsuccessful this time. Anything can happen in the future, the RFL cant keep bailing Crusaders and Quins out all the time and should there come an opportunity to step up we will be there waiting. Come on people, just as Blacky said at the end of the GF, its all about belief! We have to strive and believe that one day we will regain what i feel and i assume thousands of others in Halifax believe is our rightful place in SL.

Totally agree with faxlad66 comments

Spot on, the club have to try and show some enthusiasm otherwise the RFL will use it against us and say we did not bother last time so it shows we are not really that interested.
Plus what do you want as fans a club with no ambition?

I think this will help us in the long term as basically there are only 3 clubs who could ever get into SL who are not in now and that is us, Widnes and Leigh, imo. Sorry Fev and Barrow fans but Barrows ground is not up to the modern game requirements and I do not think Fev can ever get the level of support needed to sustain a SL team anymore the town/village is not big enough and Ponte is full of Cas fans nowadays. Just my own views.

Agree with the above. Whilst on one hand I do think it is pointless applying because SL know who they do and dont want in, it does mean the club is setting itself targets to continue progressing. By not applying, there would be a danger of standing still which is a dangerous thing to do in sport.

you have got to show the RFL that you are interested even if already know the outcome.

They can and will.

I so wish it could be true...

But stop believing in the impossible! The facts are... - the RFL hate Fax...Fax do not have the money to go up...it's never gonna happen...end of.

Add to that the people who put themselves forward as the true Fax supporters don't welcome new supporters...! Just because we've not been Fax supporters through the good old years doesn't mean we're not genuine supporters...can we get some oldies giving us 'newies' some support?!

What were the facts in 1984? David Brook.

Anything is possible.

Welcome to this forum. Would you like a cup of tea? Take the weight off your fingers and give your mouse a rest. It's lovely to see a newbie on the forum. I want to have your babies.




Is that better?

I think you will find most people very accommodating. Sometimes some of the "oldies" are a little guarded as they often think new members are trolls taking the pee, but dont worry you will settle in. Welcome aboard and up the FAX!
