Quote Faxhali="Faxhali"Sorry faxcar, other than putting in £100k or so nothing is better with TA at the helm. Crowds have gone down not up, the app is appalling, never up to date and amateur at best, rent problems as well. I don't think he has Halifax RL blood running through his veins and it shows, mike Riley runs around like a headless chicken on match days and personal I can tell it means the earth to him. Likewise Leigh directors, involved, passionate and innovative, it makes the difference to us fans IMO.im not going to start kissing ass just because he has put some money in, the same as I didn't when nano did the same'"
On the other hand without his gift, (because he isn't going to get it back and neither did he expect to) we could easily have folded as it was given to help pay our way when we had the perfect storm of results when everything went wrong and since then who has been funding the signings of new players that is still on going but without the big statement.
Crowds have gone down for a number of reason none of which are directly linked to him nor is it just affecting Fax, in last weeks RL press there was a full page article asking where since the World Cup had all the crowds gone and no one knew the answer or how to fix it.
Locally it seems the Halifax public as elsewhere have other things to spend there time and money on.
As to having Fax blood running through his body, in a way he is a newby, not locally born and bred but it has to start at some point and not being from the north doesn't exclude someone getting the RL bug.
When someone watches a game not everyone takes to it but when they do it's in the blood alright and the first taste for him was Fax, that usually means it's first taste, first place, this is my club, in this case Fax or nothing.
As a newby who was invited to come to the club how should we treat such a person, what sort of message should be given and has been sent out to any other potential interested person?
TA not too long ago spoke plenty about his plans and invited everyone to come and look and listen, the response.
He was called a liar, he was called a parasite, he and his family were subjected to a number of things that were and still are a total disgrace to the Town of Halifax and you complain about an app.
Before TA is a Fax director he is a person and there is a big difference between kissing ass (which he has never asked people to do) and showing some respect to him as just a person.
With the above in mind hardly surprising he now says nothing and goes about his business in a different way but still gets slagged off.
Talk about blood running through his body, the mans getting his throat slit.
I know I may be offending some and that is not my intention but I say it has I see it and on here lately it's becoming more like a serial slag off forum with little support for Fax RL when they are up against it.
