Hi all, although i am new to this board i have been a fan of Fax for many years. I have joined the forum as i have misgivings regarding XBlades ability to offer the fans and the Halifax club true value for money regarding merchandise options in the long term. Thus far their product as far as i can see is in the main cheap and tacky and of low quality. If rumours are true then they would be insolvent if it wasnt for one of our own Directors helping them out (maybe he should get his money back and get out while he can). Surley its time for the club to consider other options before we end up with a half empty club shop for another season. Last season you could clearly see the embarrassment on the faces of the shop staff on a Sunday. Sorry if i appear harsh but everything last season apart from the NRC shirt was garbage. Im not trying to stir up trouble, just hoping for something better moving forward...what do you all think?

i used x blades for my ametuer team when they first set up and they were good to deal with at first but then when they got orders from pro teams they became very unreliable and their promise of turning round a kit in 4 weeks suddenly turmed into 4 months, would not recomend them to anyone

I realise that this forum is primarily for the posters to moan about things, but everything the Club seems to do brings out the same old whingers. . had any of you gone along to the Meet the Players last night(not that any of you actually ever go down to the Shay either for events or even games, preferring to sit at your computers firing off the same old moans season after season) you might have seen both the new shirt with its embroired badge and Karl Harrison "signature" and the Players training top which sold out !! so I guess those that bother to turn up have a somewhat different opinion of the new kit !!

The new shirt looks very good, much better than last years poor effort. Lets hope this continues with the T shirts, coats, training gear etc.

You are being very unfair here.
You will see that I have stood up for the quality of the shirt, but some people are not happy and that is their entitlement.
This forum is not "primarily for moaners" as you say.
Most people on here are very positive and I can assure you that probably all the posters do go to games.
Many of the posters like me have been to Toulouse 3 years running and hope to go again this year.
This is a forum and all are entitled to their opinion, if you/we don't agree it is better to counter those opinions with reasoned arguments rather than assume those people don't support the club.

I was there last night and it was a good one.
The shirts are good quality that is not the issue for me its the way the club have given over the whole shooting match to X Blades without thinking about things, like who runs the shop and online sales on the club website and who and where will stock of other stuff come from as X Blades only make shirts, training tops and some leisure wear, a lot of the other stuff that WAS in the shop comes from other providers yet they still get 90% and the club 10% of any sales!
Yer okay they pay a guaranteed set amount each year but if we go well next year they are quids in.
