FAILURE ISN'T ABOUT FALLING DOWN, FAILURE IS STAYING DOWN..........:d7dc4b20b2c2dd7b76ac6eac29d5604e_3245.jpg

I didn't speak to the "engaged tone", I spoke to a real living person. I was so lucky wasn't I.

Totally numb today.
What a huge let down, and like everybody else I am angry.
Angry with the club for making what seems to be such a basic error (typical of the amateurish way things are run at Halifax RLFC, ask the sponsors why I say this).
Angry with the RFL for leaving it so late to get the game called off and why was this not picked up straight after the Swinton game by them???

Worried as this will hit the club very hard, loss of a good pay day today and potential pay day in the next round plus money for progressing if we had played and won today. This could affect us big time, players have to be paid for today and we have no income from the match.
Loss of fans and sponsors confidence in the club.
This has made us look a joke and will not put us in a good light with the rest of the RL world and may affect our SL application.

Aaaaaaaaaaaaargh.

Maybe we need a new broom to clear out some of the dead wood at the club, trouble is who will come in and replace them??? There is always somebody though, look at Rochdale they were dead but came back, same at Donny.
Whatever happens the club MUST tighten things up and make sure that we are run more professionally, no more slack attitudes. Get TOUGH, show some leadership Board.
If the club needs some help ask us the fans, but be specific with what help you need, we may just be able to help out.

RL is a micky mouse game in reality, look at this weekends TV cup games, one a no contest the other a no crowd!

It was difficult to actually see the posters from my end of the 'phone conversation, but I see where you're coming from d040.gif

Quote: marillion man "Forgive me for taking a shot in the dark here, but maybe they've been rather busy with other things today.

I know for a fact that one office employee who I spoke to at 12.30 today was in the process of trying to get in touch with people to alert them that the game had been pulled, I expect that's pretty much the truth. I myself then confirmed to several of my friends that the game was off & that it was official and not just rumour.'"


I told about 3 people as well.

I keep getting e-mails from the club re the Blog etc.

When one would have been really useful ie to say that the game was off, thereby saving me a wasted 60 mile round trip, nothing appeared. A one line statement taking moments to compile would have sufficed and, at the press of one key, could have been sent to all listed e-mail contacts of the club.

I was also galled that, having got to the ground, there was no official from the club present to explain what was happening.

Another PR shambles! Or should that be 'another shambles'.......that seems to sum up Fax nowadays.

Wonder if Nigel Wood wants to purchase all the wasted food by the various caterers at the ground to fill his fridge for a week. Bet he has one of those american style ones.

Quote: littlerich "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?'"


Good post-And i still cant forgive how we surrended Super League but thats for a different day.
Watching Crusaders and Catalans yesterday, i believe we could have the measure of these two every time.

The club did announce the postponement on their website...it was the story that couldn't get the 3 initials of the game's governing body in the right order and littered with spelling/grammatical errors including the alleged offence itself.

How ironic that the RLF is a fellowship scheme for professional writers! You couldn't make it up....

Quote: Blue & White Dynamite "Unfortunately 2 wrongs don't make a right. The RFL is and has been a joke for a long time. What we probably suspected has now been confirmed in that we are also being run as a joke. I am struggling for words regarding Cannon & Ball. They pick the players team and deal with the transfers. Surely one simple question to Rochdale before taking on Mr Ostrich would have told us the situation. Or, like his name did we decide to bury our heads in the sand and hope it would go away! (Names have been changed to protect individual identities).'"
Spot on!

Quote: griffax "We (the club!) are a complete laughing stock & deserve everything that happens.

I too am quickly losing any faith in them.... sure watching them on a Sunday is great & I will support them, however the club have to take responsibility & start getting things right OFF THE FIELD!!!!

Its now time for the blub to come out with a clear apology to not only the rfl & batley, but more importantly to us fans who pay at the gates week in week out.

The board of directors are only custodians of the club, they will come & go but we will remain.'"
Correct, but we have been saying this for years (Time we got more proffesional) and STILL it happens.

I dont care. One midseason signing we have made. If we had done the [islightest[/i bit of homework, he would have been nowhere near the teamsheet at Swinton.

If we had made 4-5 or more midseason signings then idve still been angy, but this just takes the p***
