Yes it has been a poor couple of years.
Yes today by all accounts we were as bad as usual.
Would we have won last week and today with Karl in charge?
But now, it doesn't matter.
Some are already moaning about today's signings and even moaning about the ones we haven't even made yet.
Come on, the season is over, let's be positive about the future.
Me? As always Season ticket will be bought this month,
Let's all give it a go next year, first League game at home be there, if your not happy after that then it's up to you, but let's at least try and start the new season positively.
Please.
Off thread, I hope no one minds.
As regular readers will know I could not be there today.
Walking round Royal Tunbridge Wells had a few words with Barry Mcguigan, still looks in great shape, now lives near Canterbury.
He asked me if I had been a boxer, blimey, I didn't know I was that ugly.
Shook his hand, am now soaking mine in cold water.
A really nice chap.
Just wanted to share that experience, hope you don't mind.
Pow.

At least we've been put out of misery today. If only we had 5,000 Halifax Johns, I admire your positivity John but for me and others it's going to take a bit more to believe that we can turn this around and stop becoming a laughing stock.

Contrary to what Michael Steele says, this turnaround has to be led by the BOD (Abbot & Croad primarily) and not a case of veiled threats to supporters (because we've heard it all before). I don't envy them. They have a huge task; a new coach, contracts for 2015, new players, releasing players, commercial activity, coming up with a decent home kit (for a change).......and very little income for the next few months.

This winter however, presents the BOD with an ideal opportunity to start afresh and clear the decks ready for when the new man arrives. There's no hidden agenda here, let me make that clear but the guys.......a gal who have been behind the scenes for donkeys years should be thanked for all their efforts, given honarary membership of the club and asked to take their place in the East Stand on matchday. The new man needs to hire his own team. Also Are there people at the club who have been there too long? Do certain people off the pitch need to up their game?

I need to be convinced that the Club is ready to be taken seriously and standards massively improve. For me the club is in the last chance saloon, the people of the town have fallen out of love with what used to be a fabulous institution. Start paying your supporters and the stay aways some attention before it's too late.....remember we're on your side.

Glad this terrible season is now over and to be honest I was not fussed we lost today, I was gutted how we lost though, awful performance.

Has there been one good performance this season for 80 minutes ? A season to forget.

Bit OTT there nigel?
We're all part of a system that marginalised every aspect of the game outside SL for the best part of 20 years.
Your club is just one of a lot in the same boat. I doubt fax will challenge for SL inclusion over the next couple of seasons unless someone comes in chucking money about. That doesn't make any club a laughing stock owd cock.

It goes deeper than just finances RFF, we've been poorly run for a while now and support and good will in the town is at an all time low.

By the way what does owd cock mean?

I agree, apart from winning the NRC with nearly Callands team it has been 3 of the most dire years I can remember about watching Halifax and in that Im including everything to do with the club.

Hopefully with a new young coach with fresh ideas at the helm the club can build a bit of momentum moving forward. Thats going to mean putting bums on seats and thats going to be difficult but hopefully getting people behind the club it can be done.

Entertaining rugby is the only way to bring people in, the dross I have had to watch this season is enough to test the strength of the most dedicated supporters, and getting nil'ed yesterday just put the icing on the cake.
To say it was rubbish is an understatement.

GFB and Norman nail it for me.
Lets hope the new coach is dynamic and plays an exciting brand of RL.

Or final nail in the coffin Norman? Fortunately I had something better to do yesterday and when I heard the score on the way home simply thought thank god I missed that. Not that we have a god given right to win games but another disappointing season to put it mildly. Big close season ahead of us with a crucial appointment as head coach required and some player recruitment to give us much needed gusto. Here's hoping.

Well, you kept beating us.

5000 supporters who go poncing around sightseeing down't south when Fax are playing a game to try and get to the GF would do us no good whatsoever! Just a joke HJ, just a joke! Sportsman, shudds. Mallinsons Common Blue, 4.1 % Mmm!
