Quote: the fax in asia "This is not having a go at ‘Fax Panthers, but the Halifax “we support the football team” Courier,
2 days since the ‘f f f’ and not a peep or an inch of ink devoted to it, had it been FC Halifax Town, there would have been front page, back page and maybe even a special souvenir pullout describing in great detail every word of the event.
If the Panthers want more exposure one surefire way would be to have equal parity on reporting.
Do Fax have a captain's column?, or minute by minute live reporting on each game? NO and NO they do not, Come on marketing or whoever is responsible put pressure on the Courier to give more ink space to the whole Panther family, like the cliche charity begins at home, well our home is Calderdale,
Imagine the Bulls not having space in the T&A or Huddersfield or Leeds not in their respective press?
Rant over for the moment!'"
Im not quite sure what happened to the Courier. Town fans always used to complain that it was biased towards the rugby club, but I would agree that it now appears to favour FCHT. It can be days before a Panther's match report goes online whereas FCHT is on within minutes of full time.
Its a shame whats happened to the Courier. It used to be an integral part of Calderdale but I bet its a year since I read a physical copy and it took me a couple of minutes to flick through.
