Let's leave the nonsense from the Bradford Bell Ends behind and talk about Fax.

I'm in Surrey and just finished work so clearly can't make tonight's forum. Can anyone gives us a précis when it's finished?

Cheer ear, Freddie

anybody go? what was said?

I couldn't attend myself but do understand the meeting got so heated that the fire brigade had to attend.

Main points from memory before the fire alarm went off were:

1.Marshall tasked with top four finish
2.Fax looking at' link' with a SL club and clubs below to have players play for us if it 'suits Halifax' and loan our fringe players respectively.(My guess is Hull KR for the SL club( but that's not been delivered by Fax)
3. Fax pay £52k for annual rent. Shaymen pay £36k annual rent.
4. Scoreboard won't happen unless Fax and Shaymen share cost.
5. Approximately 30 odd tickets left for Summer Bash in North Stand and approximately 90 tickets left for West Stand
6.Big push on linking up with local clubs and possibly have some of the forums or functions at these clubs.
7.Nominated fax player to be linked with each local club
8. Fax currently training 4 times a week and working on more 'flair' rugby.
9. 'Team Halifax RLFC- was the management speak to all of us both on and off the field getting behind the club and spreading the word.
10. Same person who lit the fire at Warrington in Fax stand in Grand Final was at it again last night in the Fax East stand

Hope this helps those that wanted more information.
PS Fax TV to continue with Huddersfield Uni taking over the delivery from PJ(who did a great job) I think they are trying to go down the Leigh TV route and get some revenue if they get enough interest etc.

Sounds O.K. so long as the 2nd one doesn't come off!

Think its fantastic that the club are involving fans in this way.

Think all the points are good, particularly linking with local sides.

Only issue is point 2, I really feel we should steer clear of dual reg. Especially as I dont see Hull KR as a good enough side to have reserves that would benefit us.

Agreed, KR could very well be in the middle 8, hopefully alongside ourselves so how we would benefit is a big question, in fact if that is the scenario it would have potentially weakened us for the end if the season.

I wish the club would hurry up and let us know if they are to have a link/dual reg with a SL club. Some of us need to know whether to purchase summer bash tickets, book hotels, buy new replica etcetera.

So are you saying if we do you won't do any of those things?

Yes.

Let me get this straight, will you stop supporting Fax?

Fax will always be my team, they have been for over fifty years. But yes I will stop supporting them if they go dual reg. I will stop attending games, stop our small sponsorships, stop our purchasing at the club shop and stop my cashfax support. When they see the error of their ways when it all ends in tears, as it inevitability will, IF they go down the dr line we will be back supporting OUR club. The real sad thing about this ludicrous scenario is it won't be just my family who feel they won't be able to support the club if they go down this route, as I know of four other supporters who feel they couldn't follow the club of they choose to go dual reg. These fans are no fair weather supporters, they are long standing dyed in the wool Fax fans. The club needs to look long and hard about which way forward they want to go.

Cutting your nose off to spite your face? The club are talking about links with a SL club (for our benefit) and links with a Champ 1 club (for our benefit) Are you one of the people who said you'd be happy if we had links with a champ1 club to help our younger players. If you are that's just double standards.

This season coming will be one of the best in years and our league is going to be a difficult one to make it into the top 4. I'm not overly happy with DR as a concept but if our club do use it and we manage it correctly it could be of great benefit to HRLFC. You are still supporting Fax, giving your money to Fax, wearing the Blue and white of Fax, supporting the club and players of Halifax. None of your revenue will go to any other club whether its a champ 1 or SL. In fact all you will do is take away much needed revenue from the club you love and have supported for over 50 years.
As I said Cutting your nose off to spite your face. Its very sad you feel that way.
