Attention all passengers on the HRLFC gravy train, would mesyrs Calland and Hall please exit the carriage immediatley at the next station, your ticket is no longer valid.

Im reminded of Mr Fax's letter saying its not all as doom and gloom as some might think, hmmmm!? Did the Glazers try to buy us this week or something?

Not sure I agree. The club should not be making financial assumptions about reaching certain stages of knockout competitions as it is recipe for disaster. The money will only run dry if a) the RFL fine the club or b) the club did make daft assumptions.

They've already made at least one they assumed Ostick could play at Swinton. And we all know what assume does... Makes an Ass of U and Me

Hahaha I like it. Did you go on the same ridiculous management course as I?

Probably

c) major sponsor goes bellyup
d) no pre-season friendly income due to weather

anyway at least it gives the FC town fans something to laugh about.

We replaced the sponsor - the pre-season friendlies wouldnt have brought much into the club.

Sorry owd cock. Neither my degree or my masters was in the history of your family. Glad your gran is ok like!

Here we go again

fax have made yet another error.....yet again.

Having stewed all day at the complete idiots that run our club my anger and frustration is equally so as this year we should SHOULD have kicked on from last year, we should have pride in our position and should be growing in numbers (in terms of support), we should be putting in a flawless SL application and giving the RFL a real headache as champions elect, as Northern Rail winners etc. . . . . . ARE WE??? NO!

When Cas and Hull KR pinned the nail on the cross and said what they were going to achieve, by god they achieved and also ran a professional, business like club at the same time. BUT most of all they delivered for the fans.

What do Halifax do?? - Keep a coach who should have walked 18 months ago, get knocked out of the Northern Rail by incompetence, Cut communication to the fans when it was very clear that something just wasn't right - Posner not avbl for comment, Steele out of the country etc etc. We can bleat all we like and say how without these people we wouldn't have a club, We are in good hands . . . . .Obviously we are not in capable hands in my opinion, We are YET AGAIN at rock bottom and an embarrassment.

Well I add this - These people (do gooders) may well have killed the club once and for all by primarily running it as a hobby and unprofessionally and unbusinesslike - UNPROFESSIONAL is a word that sadly keeps being brought up repeatedly when Halifax RLFC and business are metioned over the last 10-15 years.

Even our bloody marketing has spelling mistakes and before people shoot me down and say if I can do better I should give it a go - Look at Hunslet, Leigh, Sheffield, Featherstone, Barrow and ask yourselves do we envy them in any way - Cos I do and mostly on a front where being run professionally counts!!!

God I hope there is a silver lining somewhere, as a group of people, as fans we deserve better than we are getting.

Still cant believe the farce that was the Hunslet conversion in the last few seconds, if Paterson had took the allocated time we would still be in that cup, the lack of communication and knowledge is down to the coach, he should know these things.

I agree Chris, theres been you, I and many others banging on for ages about the cracks being papered over for quite some time.
Were stumbling from one mess to another, its so sad for the fans and quite frankly im embarrassed.

Couldn't believe what I was hearing when I had a call at 12 to tell me the game was off when I was just about to get on the M62 - the question must be asked as to how the RFL didn't spot it sooner and indeed if the thread on here had owt to do with it, but I think it's best for it to come out now rather than another round down the track.

Froze my knackers off at Sedgeley Park for nowt!

I owe you (and GFB) a massive apology for lambasting your previous posts. I defended the board to the hilt - from Calland to Hall and from Posner to Steele. We are amateur at best. You're right about not being in capable hands. We are in the hands of well meaning people but they're struggling to run the club professionally. The problem is - who else is there? Have they put money in? Will anyone else put money in/run the club?

I thought i would always stick by this club no matter what. Today has just blown that out of the water. I feel sick. I feel like banging my head against the wall. It's ruined my weekend and my wife's pi55ed off at my mood. I've become disillusioned with the sporadic nature of our fixtures. Disillusioned with the inevitable fate of not being in Super League. Our club is dying on it's ar5e and there's nothing i can do. I feel like bailing and forgetting Rugby League exists but i can't. I've just got to sit here and wait for what is about to unfold for our club.

We are screwed are we not?
