920 crowd today, with the vast majority supporting Fax. Still sadly lacking support at Championship and below in the game. The telling thing for me looking round today, was how old we all were! Ok, a fair few exceptions, but the majority were (like me) from the "glory days" for Fax in the '80s. There's nothing wrong with all of us continuing to follow the club, but we don't seem to have a vast number of younger supporters (under 30!) compared to the rest of us?'"

Congratulations to the players today, seems like it was always in control. Didn't go today as there was plenty to do in the garden and the obligatory b-b-q.
I think you make a fantastic point about the average age of a Fax fan, not as bad as Bradford PA (70) but it must be knocking on 50. Quite a lot look like they could do with getting rid of a few pounds as well looking on Smug Pug. Other than throwing money at it I don't know what the answer is, maybe the council give us and the Shaymen a shop rent free for 12 month, re-connect with the Town centre.....I digress.
We need to get to the end of June with only one more reverse (you'd have to say that would be Leigh) and beat Fev at home. Next game for me is Keighley, some cracking Taylor's pubs and a short train journey.
Ain't gonna change my mind on that grumpy dinosaur we've got at the helm.
Yes, Bentleyman, I had the same problem. I entered the ground at 2.15 and not one programme could be seen for sale (just draw tickets).
I saw just one person with a programme and it appeared to have a green cover and back (I'd have expected red/blue). Had they produced a short run of special programmes to acknowledge their support for a local hospice (whose colours are green) and these were acquired by very early arrivals such as the families of the kids who were playing ahead of the main act?
The Hornets were being described in the blurb on their website ahead of the game as the Rochdale Green Sox and their players did indeed wear green socks on the day.
It is bad though that no programmes were available 45 minutes (at least) before kick-off as there were few fans in the ground at that time (the 'programme stand' was positioned inside the ground and almost all Fax fans were basking in the sun outside the bar).
