I am getting more and more hacked off at reading news of player moves on other clubs websites ratherthan on our own. Reittie being the most recent, on Batleys website.

Why has our club stopped communicating with the paying customers?

It's ridiculous Bob, plain and simple, I just don't let it bother me.

Perhaps it's due to our sponsorship link with Courier whereby they have to release the news first but as it is now only printed annually or something we never actually find anything out at all.

Or, perhaps nobody can be d?

Our fan base is small and will continue to shrink if the club continue to follow the no news is good news policy.

correct answer, courier got to announce it first.

Communications are poor!! If only we had a director who owns a Media Company who develop Apps and the like.....Mind you they have no trouble communicating when they want your money!! Different when you want some information!!

Well it's on Batleys website, but nothing on Courier website or Halifax RFL website...

Correct Halifax have always gone cap in hand to the supporters over many years, enough is enough what's going on now is really disappointing, unless supporters make a stand and vote with their feet nothing will change, I get 2 free tickets being a Fax Flyer agent and haven't been to one game this season

Yes agreed the coverage is really poor. When we sign someone its on the website but its a different story if we sell. No mention of loaning Ben Davies out either!
The club is really going down the pan and not the buzz of previous years. Its a shame

If the BOD have decided they've had enough why don't they just say so? At least then I can start doing something else with my Sundays. It would break my heart after 50+ years supporting them but it'll give me more time for my shooting or motorcycling. To be honest, the whole game is going downhill and if next years rehashed competition does not take off I think the game will be in serious trouble.

What happens is a rumour starts outside the club with such and such a player or such and such a club and you have to go the their website to find out if any of it is true.

If the Courier is the first outlet who is telling them, or not telling them.

In any organisation it comes down to roles and responsibilities, has anyone been appointed?

If not it's just left to chance someone who is in the know will maybe pass the news on, if there is someone well why are they not passing on the information?

Probably nobody can be what you said, they blame the RFL for not being able to update the website sometimes as the club claim its run by them, I don't think so its just another excuse, the club are full of them.

This news re Rettie and and Davis is now on Fax website.

Or in the case of the "Ambler to Fev" rumour, Fax players themselves, one of the alleged is the club captain !

Calland's playing & coaching staff came in for a lot of criticism for their discipline away from the rugby pitch, but i'm interested to see how that era compares to this lot.

Reittie & Adamson with their injuries sustained in nightclubs, Manning with his facial injury suffered away from rugby matters, Worrincey with his gambling ban all within the last two years.

Do other clubs have such ill-discipline off the field ?

To be fair it's always gone on.
I could fill a page with the antics of Dave Watson and Eddie Riddlesden to name but a couple of players.
Remember Brent Stuart being so drunk that he abandoned his car on top of the roundabout at Bull Green?
Or a Samoan player breaking the jaw of the son of a club sponsor in the toilets at Maggies?
Adamson's misdemeanour came when he was a Salford player as well so perhaps we should blame them?
At least the current crop don't have the example of their coach fighting in a town centre nightclub as Matt Calland's team did.
