But fans come and go too, as we know! So we are all equal in this equation and i don't think anyone has a problem with praise, criticism or whatever but perhaps the way it is sometimes presented

True Halifax Fans its a disease..

RESULTS are doing more talking than abusive people who watch Halifax, the equation is simple.

Dont give them easy to moan about is the best course of action, they pay their money to get in too.

I would guess people in the club are a little shell shocked themselves about whats happened. If they are not i would be very very concerned indeed.

I am sorry Malfax that you like everybody else are upset at recent performances etc. I appreciate you are trying to rally call to all supporters to stick with the team because you are close to the club and believe me everything in the garden is rosy. We have only lost four matches in our losing sequence and hey Castleford supporters think were great so need to worry GF here we come! I don,t know how close to the club you are but in my long history of supporting the club the time to really worry is when the club say nothing is wrong. Supporters don't have a devine right to know all the in's and out's of the club and its management but I honestly feel we deserve more than what is currently being offered i.e. the present situation is just a blip and when we turn the corner god help the rest. The run of poor performances goes back way longer than 4 matches - when was the last time time we played well for 80minutes. Rumours currently doing the rounds are that we are skint again and have not paid the stadium rent for months! Equally serious are the rumours of alcohol abuse, poor behaviour andantisocial activity need to be investigated because they are totally unacceptable and should under no circumstances be condoned. Why has the squad not been strengthened mid season? Tactics? Fitness levels? Defence shortcomings? Playing certain players outside their usual position and even when they play poorly they still retain their place in the next match etc etc. I could live with a bit more information from the club in these matters. Maybe the club could have a Q&A session. If not face to face or perhaps on the website. Most supporters just want regular reassurance that what we see from the terraces is being noted by those in charge.

I think I am not unreasonable and I think most people are of the same mind. All I want is players to put 100% in on the field as well as off it.
I want players AND Coaching Staff to not go out drinking 24 hours before a game or during ANY comp!
The Head Coach to set a good example for his players and the Players and Coach to set a good example to youngsters by behaving themselves and not getting legless as is the case this season.
For the Head Coach to not have a name for being a big drinker
For the team to go out and defend. Much of that is down to commitment and pride for me. Players should know how to tackle by now-its basics.
For the team to be able to do the basics of Catching,Tackling and Passing 99% of the time-We all make mistakes so do not expect perfection.

To be fair i don't think anyone has said they have seen players out drinking 24 hours before a game

Blaming the fans is not the answer.

No, this is not the worst season ever by a very long way. There have been some great moments. However, I can say that in well over 30 years I have never seen a team play so far below what it is capable of as this one.

The most I ask from any team or anyone is that they give it their best shot. No one can tell me that this is currently happening. We have the best squad in the league and anything close to reasonable effort would not have resulted in four straight losses.

Conceding 50 points at home and gaining a bonus point is not good enough. The player who made that comment to Chris Smith should just leave now - that is a loser's mentality.

I will not be giving up on the team nor will I be abusing them. There are, however, a few of the players who clearly need their egos bursting.

A great situation has been wasted but we are not finished. We can still reach our goal. But come on it's down to the coach and players to win the fans respect back. One good win at Batley and we'll suddenly be a band of brothers again.

Halifax RLFC? It's not dead, it just smells funny!

I've recently refrained from posting much on the messageboard because of a few factors, one of which I'm connected to the club in an official capacity and another factor is that, whatever we say or think as supporters won't help at all with the current downturn in the squads' form.
I also don't like posting negatives, sure I'm pi$$ed at losing, sure I'd rather win ugly, sure I'd rather we hung in for a bonus point when losing, but I don't see as me posting on a messageboard will inspire the coaching staff or players onto victory.
I happened to drop into the office this morning on a little bit of business and I bumped into Hilda washing the kit, heart & soul of we volunteers, DEVASTATED ! We go back a long way me & Hilda, we care about the club/players/performances & everything that goes with it, we are one so to speak.
I go into the office and I cannot believe the comments being quoted from the messageboards about sacking Matt, but it wouldn't just be Matt would it, there's Proccy, Bally and Gonzalez, they're a team.
Comments about Calland wearing a BLACK TRACKSUIT !!! Perhaps his washing machine's broken and his down on his $hitty luck right now, we all know how it goes I'm sure.
Hally has done a runner !!!
Drinking culture !!!


Good grief, maybe I should cease reading & posting on the messageboards, worst season ever ???
Look at the attendances at Workington, Rochdale, Oldham, Keighley, Hunslet for recent games, we're really not that badly off.
And just for a comparison, I wish we had a Ken Davy, Des Johnston to throw money at our club, but we haven't so we're reliant on folks working their tired a$$es off in the good name of Halifax RLFC, Am still proud of my club and hope to be at the front of the queue for a GF ticket to watch us beat whoever we are playing against.

Well they were on the p1ss in Blackpool Saturday night according to many people. Do not mind 1 beer but not getting sozzled as apparently happened

great post mate

I agree great post and Im going to remember this post and learn for it and control my anger at losing and if I cant Im going to have to give up going to games (still donating the money to the club for a season ticket).

...not for much longer. His knee has gone again


.....oops, thought you said Haley

I'll be there and will drag a few mates with me as well.
Proud of Fax this season. no team turns up to play bad just an honest bad patch were going through.
Bad patches make the good patches feel better.

Keep entetaining us Fax - can't wait for Batley game

Whey Hey!! ....well said Marillion....up the mighty FAX.

well said, agree totally.
just started a thread about the washing.

bottom line is any team is going to lose games,

its the mannor in which we have lost the last four games that is upsetting!

From a spectators point of view - to team has gone from winning week in weekout to losing week in week out

Agin from a spectators point of view the team deos not seem to be gelling the way it was 10 games ago!

Something is wrong and its down to the coaches and players to put it right!

all i am asking for is a good match day experiance with a team that is competative, right now that is not the case!

and for the record i am 100% behind my club - but something is just not right at the moment!
