| hear hear, sparky. You've just beat me on the length of support. First for me was a 12-0 victory against Batley in '79. ATB.

| Quote: HXSparky "Our support was good today, albeit a bit more subdued due to the opposition and the scrappy play. What I didn't like though, were the chants/songs having a go at the Swinton fans. The taxi chants and going down with Bradford (especially as they're nailed on for coming back up) were a bit uncalled for IMO. Give them credit, they were still urging their team on when 30-odd points down. We should concentrate on supporting our own team, and stop the sniping in the stands. A bit of banter is great, but provocation is a bit different and unnecessary.'"
Well said. I don't think the chants you mention are the worst of it though, there's the cheering when we injure an opposition player, the language used I thought was uncalled for and although you expect a bit of industrial language at games, today was not the sort of atmosphere you want kids around. As you say we should stick to getting behind our team and having a following we can be proud of lets leave trying to be the most hated to Fev.
As for the game its starting to click now and its just a case of keeping winning. For me we look to have the best squad of players in the group of teams we are in and Marshall has done a great job of keeping the squad fresh while other teams struggle to get players on the pitch. We are more than capable of winning all our remaining games and taking 2nd place.

| Must admit I was a bit embarrassed today with some of the un-called for chanting and 'p' taking of the Swinton fans and players and language. Not really appropriate for for the children and families we are trying to encourage to come back and support us. As a Fax fan of 50+ years I don't really want to hear or see that coming into the Fax set up. Don't mind banter and I am happy to give it as well as take it but I am also a past player and like to think I played in the true spirirt of the game where RESPECT was a big part of my vocabulary. That's to fans, players, and officials of the opposition (and the ref) win lose or draw. Let's all have a sing song and a laugh but not at the expense of those not as fortunate as us(believe me I know what it feels like when Fax were on the receiving end of such jibes-not nice)
Good luck to Swinton for the rest of the season and I hope their centre gets well soon.

Not sure about the injury was too far away. It was in contact though. Ref put on report but didn't penalise Fax from memory. Apparently the player had been concussed previously so wasn't 100%. he had pins and needles all over and couldn't feel some parts of his neck /back at one point.
The swearing and basic industrial language got a bit out of hand at one point and club Stalwart and Legend Hilda Hardy gave the guys a telling off!!!! Quality.

| Well that's another ticked off. All we can do is keep winning and job's a good 'un! There's still some twists an turns to go and we could possibly lose one of our remaining games and still make the top four. The best bet is to win the lot though and on our top form we could, although we need to do it for 80 minutes against the better sides. Up The Fax! Come on England!

| Chants at other rivals fans and teams happen in rugby and football every week. Its no longer quiet and dull. The young ones also love the singing get used to it.

Press just says RM is still looking for quality recruits which we knew about but adds.
One of those could come from France, with RM keeping his eye on a player on the other side of the Channel.

| I always think you should try and keep as many friends as you can on the way up because you will need them on the way down....because that's life up and down . Our club certainly can't afford to Lord it over anyone and we should always respect the Swinton's, Whitehaven havens and Batleys of our division because in essence these clubs represent the core of rugby league struggling in adversity to survive and our club has only just survived more times than I care to think of. Basically many clubs only survive by the efforts of one or 2 individuals ie Dewsbury their chairman is a good guy and Oldham the same.

If young kids are singing/shouting some of the things from yesterday then they probably want a clip round the ear. "Take a run you f***** c***" "Knock his f***** head off the t***" We are hammering a team by 40 points, its that time we really need to show some class.
Just on George Tyson, its great to hear there is no major injury but he looked like he copped a bad bang to his head on our first try and was stumbling all over the place. There is no way at that point he should have still been on that field and im not sure Swinton were looking after him by not taking him off to get checked.

Grow up, that's all I can say. Singing/chanting is great, and it was awesome at the LSV, but totally embarrassing at Swinton. Can't you see the difference?
