well, seen as this thread worked for Widnes on there forum, i felt we should try it out!

'IF' we do get the nod on tuesday, how big is the party Vs toulouse gonna be on the saturday....

I will wear onions round my neck and don a beret. Vive la Fax!

I have heard various well substanciated rumours my snickers loving friend.

i believe we are in.....and have put money on it!

Good luck to you guys on Tuesday!

Good luck on tuesday! really hope you get the nod!


i will be a halifax fan from 26th July 11.00 am till announcement!!

Think he's alluding to th "mr t" element of your name!!

On one hand I have heard massivly positive comments that we will get the nod - then on the other hand all is very quiet at the club - they do not really seem to blowing our trumpet and the media coverage is not the same as it was leading up to the initial announcement.

I still have faith though and will wait developments on tuesday - it will however be a disgrace if we are not given the nod over some of the existing clubs - after all I do not feel there is a right lot more we could have done for example

Quality Stadium capable of holding Superleague Fixtures
U23's funded by the club and Faxbuilder
Successful Squad
Financially stable
Community Links
National Sponsors
MET MINIMUM CRITERIA !!!!!!

However if we do not get in the club and everyone associated shuld still be very proud of exactly what we have achieved.

Hey mate your club and fans have done their best and nothing more could have been done.I would like to see you in Superleague as i know you will bring a few fans to Widnes.Anyway goodluck and i will be routing for your club.

Part Quote. "On one hand I have heard massivly positive comments that we will get the nod - then on the other hand all is very quiet at the club - they do not really seem to blowing our trumpet and the media coverage is not the same as it was leading up to the initial announcement."

Yes mate me too on the rumour mill.

Unlike us who can speculate and pay attention to rumours and vent our frustrations about the entire franchise process the Club, directors and management have to remain fully proffesional,to some extent their talking as been done by ticking the boxes and getting a competative application sent in.

Now though they keep quite and let the process come to it's conclusion.

I tell you what though.
You know how passionate, nervous, excited,concerned,bothered and a dozen or more feelings we have at the moment about it.
Just what must they be feeling like right now with all the effort that they have put into it.

Its gonna be a long 5 days, and i fear that its going to be incredibly difficult and subjective to lose 2 teams to different criteria, which we may require if we are to have any chance.
My only hope is that they put either stadia or finances at a higher priority, only Wakefield seem to fall down on both currently.

But I am encouraged by a change in retoric being used in the media and by the RFL, i am slightly nervous though that we have heard all this before. A few of the Clubs in SL are not just in Last Chance Saloon but have drank it dry and brought their own.

What price a 'Really really really, this is your absolute very last chance' statement next week.

Your bid seems stronger than Wakey, Harlequins, HKR and Crusaders to name a few but I fear the SL will just lose 1 club, probably Wakey though it should be Harlequins who have had about 30 chanches and as many millions to keep them playing.
Good luck.

Right, everyone,
Calm down!
Relax!
Take it easy!
Chill!

We are in, I promise you.
