We knew this would not be liked by everyone, but the the players have been told and they think its spot on! they know we support them or we as fans would not be making such a stance. There will be a leaflet drop on the gates with instructions to how it is going to run.

This goes much deeper than just getting into Super League, its about the divisions below and how the RFL have turned their back on these divisions, as one of the people turned up last night said.."we now have only a couple of games left, but does anyone know how many teams are going to be relegated? or how many teams will be promoted?" NO! and thats because the RFL are not interested in this league and have not decided yet!!!!

So its not about turning our back on the team or rugby league, were turning our back on the RFL like they have turned their backs on the lower leagues and even grassroots rugby, the very people who feed their beloved super league!

All we ask is a minute of everyones time "yes" even Widnes, once the ref blows their whistle for kick off the ground turns around and is deadly silent, then a hooter will sound after a minute and everyone is encouraged to make as much noise as possible.

We hope you will all join in, by the way other championship clubs will be doing the same!

Like starbug says this is not just about Halifax RLFC it is about all the championship/championship 1 clubs getting a fair deal and being treated with the respect they deserve. Any way Richard Lewis as hinted that the Super League will be reduced to 12 teams with maybe another French team being put in so I would say that our chances of getting in in 3 years time at the moment are zero plus in that case 3 teams will have to come down 1 of which could very easily be Widnes so you might want to think about that before you shoot down our plans to protest. Spirit of 1873

A protest alone is pointless! If you truly love your club and the game outside Super League you have to show you are willing to make sacrifices. It's no good shouting from the rooftops and then going home to watch Super League, NRL, or any other sport on Sky TV, you need to cancel your subscription, accompanied by a strong letter explaining why! Why not get together with fellow fans to petition your local pub landlords to stop showing Sky Sports on their big screens, otherwise you will go elsewhere? I know it will be hard to miss out on watching Man U, Liverpool, etc., but who do you love the most? It will be harder for Fax fans bacause they were in Super League from the start, but in places like Fev, Keighley and Batley many satellite dishes went in the skip back in 1995. If all fans of Championship clubs were willing to make sacrifices like this, and maybe top it up by refusing to buy the Murdoch newspapers, then the people of influence at the RFL might just sit up and take note!

Its time to put up or shut up......Are you willing to boycott Super League, Sky, and the Murdoch organisation?

If the entire Championship fanbase had Sky and then subsequently cancelled it I think Sky would care the square root of f*** all. They probably get 3,000 new subscribers every day.

As for getting pubs to cancel Sky. Do you know how much money pubs make on a weekend or Wednesday night just because they show a game on their TVs? They'd laugh in your face if that was suggested.

People may choose to 'morally' cancel sky but there's no point in wasting any energy or campaign time protesting Sky.
