"Embrace it or don't bother turning up."

Steady on there old boy, I'm sure if the club are looking for a new ambassador you'd fit the criteria with such arrogance JD, and if those are the rules of engagement, it's see you laters from me...


"As I have said before there will be more at our final game 2015 as there were at the shambolic end of 2014."

Set your goals high eh ? That shouldn't be difficult to achieve i imagine, but when do you class as the end of the season ? I'm thinking those clubs that don't make the "middle 8", effectively finish July in the top 4 are gonna be feeling some pain after the split of divisions.
The only thing "shambolic" about the end of 2014 was the players, coaching & results. Some/many of those players remain at the club, maybe the end of this season is too early to make judgements on Marshall & Billy i think. I reckon there might be more of them leaving if they under-perform for their new gaffer 'cos unfortunately he's inherited the main part of the squad as i understand things. So, in my humbled opinion it isn't quite time as you quote "Time to move on." not just yet.

The "truth" has yet to be discovered.

Hey - you carry on. Don't worry about what I think. I'm happy. It can only be good for Sheffield Eagles.

The truth is, concerning team selection it will be decided by RM and no he's not lying, there's no need to have to wait and be wise after the event on that one, the rest will take care of itself and last as long as it has any usefulness to both clubs.

I will carry on because it's a done deal and I don't worry about what you think concerning the decisions the club takes because I know you support Eagles and not Fax.

As regards being good for Eagles it didn't work out that way last season I seem to remember, this year it could be completely different.

Not intended to be arrogant not in my nature as you well know.
Just my opinion.
Most posters do not agree with dual reg, I for one have never said I am against, I will just be "blindly" led by people who know more about the financial side of our club.
I do think it's time to move on, it's been decided, it won't be reversed by a few petulant people taking their bat home.
Last year we had people saying they wouldn't go again until Karl was gone. Many of those wanted Karl whilst Matt was still with us.
How does staying away help the clubs finance? It just makes it harder for the board.
Pull together, give it a go, see what happens.
Many years ago when I worked for a bank on decimalisation day one old bird told me "it won't last you know"

We are up to 20 pages on this topic now and to be honest we could go on forever. End of the day we live in a democratic country, this is an open forum, and people have different view points. You can't please everybody all of the time and people react to matters, that are important to them, in different ways. If withdrawing your suppport is your way of reacting then that is your perogative. It's a hugely disappointing approach but is your choice, as it is the BOD, as custodians of the club, to run with the DR with HKR-whether we agree with it or not. I sincerely hope that over time Fax will be successful and all supporters will re-unite and get those good times back that we all crave for. Keep smiling.

I agree, time to get behind the club now. Let's hope for a fantastic season in a highly competitive league with lots of twists and turns for all the clubs!

I've never said on this thread that anyone was lying. I leave that to others. Nevertheless, one can only say what one [ithinks[/i the future may bring. It's not certain and one may be wrong.



Fine. Not sure why you mentioned that.





What didn't work out ?

Of course this year could be completely different. A lot can happen in the next nine months. Again, not sure what point you're making.

Sorry Griff, no offence meant but I have no interest in anything you have to say or think about what Halifax decide to do or not do and even less interest in debating about words.

Enjoy your season with the Eagles, I'm sure they will be a force as usual.

Dual reg isn't really just about Fax, is it ? Bearing in mind that only one Championship club isn't involved in it.

It's about how the game is damaged by short term decisions.

This thread isn't about the bigger issue of DR, (you will have to take that up with the RFL and the other clubs involved in it) it's about Fax going down that road and who is best placed for them to make that decision.

For me as a supporter the choices are to listen to.

1.) The opinions of outsiders from other clubs and those whom claim the club will be at the dictate of the SL club and the BOD and coach are lying when they say that is not the case.

or

2.)To trust the BOD and coach.

I choose to go with the BOD and coach.

(Also. I would never presume to try and tell other clubs what they should or should not do or even dream to think I am in a better position than them to know their circumstances.)

Up until now in previous seasons Fax as a club made their stand along with other Championship clubs (some of whom were their biggest rivals) not to use DR.

Things have changed.

Most of those clubs changed their minds and used it.
The competition has changed with the introduction of the new league set up with a chance of P and R.
The distribution of funding has changed with the most cash going to the successful clubs.
The strength of Halifax's rivals has changed.

It would appear that the Fax BOD feel the club cannot compete in 2015 and moving on with their rivals by staying as they were, for now, and only for now along with other changes at the club they have chosen to adopt DR whilst they press on to try and take the club forward.

You either adapt to the times and changes or get left behind and that's what they are doing.
