Seen it now.

Welcome on board Brian!

This has got to be the best news ever and I think the BOD have to be congratulated on this one in biteing the bullet and in my opinion they could not have picked anyone better at this particular moment.
It may help the ticket sales for the Bradford game as people will buy them instead of watching on the box and what was even more worrying were the people who had bought tickets who said they would not come after Sun game.
At the end of the day the most important thing is the survival of our club and all the hard work that the BOD , staff and committed fans have done over the last few years could have been wiped out if things had continued.
They are keeping Calland which means they do not have to pay him off and he will get a job anywhere in the Championship when his contract finishes this year as he will have Brian Noble on his CV as well.
It will probably mean a big commitment financialy for the Club so lets use the Bradford game to help out with the bucket collection or put a little extra in , lets collect as much as we can to get the Under 23s paid for ahead of schedule so we can take a bit of the load from the BOD .

Great move!!!

Excellent move by Halifax.

You have got to believe that MC has played a roll in this because he must know how it is going to look to everyone so fair play to him. Hes not the best with the press and our defence has been a shambles but we have played some of the best attacking rugby that i have seen so for me this cant come soon enough. Someone who can help him out with some of the things he has struggled with, someone who can work the press, and also someone who can attract players, good move by the club.

wwwwwwwwwwooooooooooooohhhhhhhhoooooooooooooooooooooooo !!!

get in there fax, Thankyou BOD for listening to the fans who were expressing there dissatisfaction with this years season so far. Brian will be a fantastic addition to the team and if Matt Calland did have anything to do with this maaster stroke then i have to take my hat off to him, it must have been difficult if indeed it was to do with him, swallowing his pride for the good of the club.

Hopefully the players will not start to show some pride and passion, Lets hope Brian & Matt together can inspire this team to some silverware this season, its not too late and we could now start by turning featherstone over after the bulls !!.

Absolutely delighted with this and as much as it was rumoured never for one moment expected it to come off. Well done to everyone concerned and I feel like my disillushionment as been lifted in one fowl swoop!! - Cant wait to see the benfits to the club!! - Now as Linda said earlier lets get some more volunteers to help us with the collection on Sunday and help us hit our £25k target quickly so we can ensure the BOD get the financial help they deserve. I should also have a piece running in the Courier in the next few days with an update of our progress / events so watch this space!! - There is also an update in the programme on Sunday so make sure you buy one!!!!

For those of us that can't make Sunday will the update be published somewhere else other than the programme?

I think I mention further down the paragraph I should have a piece running in the Courier in the next few days in the main body of the paper rather than the Sports pages. I'll let you knwo nmate when the Courier confirm which day they are running the article so you can look out for it!! - We need it to go in ASAP as we are plugging Bloemys event next Wednesday as we would like more numbers for a great event.

It says the progress will be published in the courier too. read it again fella.

So it does.

Jeez Louise. It's true as well.

The lift this has given the place is immeasurable...even the most (understably) miserable members on here have been lifted. Much needed and well timed. Good lad nobby
