Absolutely. Up The Fax!

Have you read any posts on here which suggests we believe we're good?



We all know how bad we are, dont worry about that!

I have read a couple of posts on here where it has been stated Fax should be beating the likes of Swinton, Batley , and Dews, in fact at the start of the season it was stated Leigh would finish within 6 points of Fax in the table.

I don’t think Fax are a bad team though, it’s just teams like Swinton have improved vastly this season, the table doesn’t lie , perhaps Only Rochdale as the weakest team in the Comp are Bottom for the right reasons.

On your day Fax are a difficult team to beat, your displays in the Cup and the game at the Shay against Leigh proved this.I am friendly with one of your Directors I know how much passion he has for Fax.

Glad you pointed that one out, Charlie, otherwise I would never had known

You’re welcome Duzzy ,a wise man once said Man with hole in his pocket always feels Cocky,not always obvious though.Be happy .

When Leigh went belly up up would have been easy to go on their message board and take the mickey but it was bad enough for the fans as it were so not my kind of thing. Charlie on the other hand has loved sticking the boot in this season when its gone tits up at Fax so when Leigh go to the wall again, which they will under Degsy, I won't hesitate this time.

Funniest thing I've read for a while.

And what happened to the stronger squad this season than last and disappointing if we don't finish 2nd?

We hammered the gobblers at 'Shay and got to a semi final without screwing our own players. I'll take that. Charlie?

And BFG did say Leigh wouldn’t get within 6 points of Fax this year.

.

Cmon Pete, a 6 point loss is not a hammering, you did do well in the Cup,which I applaud.
Which players where screwed?Surely not any who have returned.

Well he was right Ian, just not the way round he predicted.



To be honest as well, the state Leigh were in at the time of the prediction you might have agreed with him apart form the fact that you were saying nowt, Charlie had left the building!!!!



Just goes to show how quickly things can turn for many of the teams / clubs / and supporters in this division.

Fax will be back but I can't predict in what form or strength.

The stronger squad hasn’t been stronger and we are disappointed.

Ask Kevin Larroyer.

I don’t doubt Fax will be back, too good of a Club to fade away,you have a good set of Directors , just need a bit of cash behind them.
I agree about things can change as well , we at are lucky to Derek,at the start of the season our team was nothing like it is now,but the support was still good around 3,000.
You know what I say is only banter,I even have 2 teams in the Fax Fantasy League comp, though I’m doing terrible this year.
I love visits to the Shay and look forward to meeting the fans,as you say Fax will comeback.

I think only Larroyer and Rhys Evans were the only players threatening to take action, but they both found Clubs , we didn’t get any fees so it was a mutual agreement.
I bet Larroyer was paid a signing on fee by Fax, so he wouldn’t be that much out of pocket.
If anything it was some of the players that screwed us, Kurt Baptiste didn’t earn his cash.

There's usually a prediction thread before the season starts and I bet more get it wrong than get it right, either way it's just a bit of fun so why GFB should be singled out as being any different????

Personally I don't do them, it's comes from once seeing the Blackpool Beach fortune teller was closed due to unforeseen circumstances.

Ian, I doubt very much that Fax paid KL any fee. As I understand it we paid him a percentage of his wage at Leigh. But it's not just about money is it? It's the way you treat people, and whilst I don't know Mr Beaumont he's not the most popular of blokes is he? Anyroad, enjoy the play-offs but remember, cream allus rises to the top. Especially when it's Yorkshire cream. See you next season.

I have soft spot for Yorkshire,I was born on Yorkshire Day,and love the place, we are staying near Shelby in 2weeks time in a log cabin, and recently had a great week end in Harrogate, visiting York Races,and I’m an Hononary Flat Capper,

I know don’t have much chance in the play offs, for me we ain’t good enough,simple as that, so I will enjoy the games,and see you and Di next season.

.

Yes we know you love us really Ian and we know, that you know one of our directors, as well as Andy Gregory.

Then all is well in life, I can look forward to a welcome in Selby,and a few days touring hopefully sunny Yarkshire.

Im not sure the point that Mr Dog is trying to make, obviously he got any predictions he made bang on? On paper we had the same team that finished 4th along with what looked like some decent additions not to mention that Leigh did not even finish the season been able to raise 17 players. Yeah the prediction looks bad now but at the time? Where did the pundits place us? Looks like they got it very wrong as well.

As for Charlie, like I said it would have been easy to go on their message board at the end of last season and rub their noses in it, not once did I do that though yet every chance Charlie gets he comes on here and does the same dressing it up as "I like Fax, Im friends with one of their directors, etc etc". When it goes pop again Charlie will be reminded at every opportunity.

e
I think this last paragraph is wishful thinking,we have a couple of very useful recruits yet to be announced for next season, I’ve already said we won’t make much progress in the play offs as I don’t think we are good enough .
Next season we will make our mark though.But again I expect Fev, Toulouse, York, Bradford, Sheff,Batley,And Swinton to improve ,and Whitehaven will again be a force,along with whoever gets relegated and of course Widnes.
Why you think things will go pop is beyond me,our gates are very good ,LISA is very strong ,and Derek has his RL appetite back.Be Lucky.

[Part quote="Greg Florimos Boots"On paper we had the same team that finished 4th along with what looked like some decent additions not to mention that Leigh did not even finish the season been able to raise 17 players.

See my earlier page 3 post to Charlie which says exactly that.

When Leigh looked well deep in it there were several Fax fans that went on the their board not to rub it in but to do the exact opposite and offer some words of support knowing full well how much it hurts when your club is struggling and I was one of them.

Banter of blasphemy, that is the question and you will get different answers and responses from different people Greg.

Let’s be fair, Fax are far from the dark place we were in last November, only having one player on board,I agree we had plenty of words of support, mainly from Bradford fans though,and we had BFG telling us how Derek had put us in this situation.Again Fax are not in this situation,read your own 20 pages on Bradford 2020 some seem to revel in their current position.
For me Bradford offer RL so much.Have a good week end.

Haven’t read the Bradford thread and aren’t going to, not my style, my names not in there.

GFB has already explained that his prediction was based on the “ Dark Place” Leigh were in at the time in comparison with Fax, would you have predicted anything different?

Why were Leigh in that position?
Was it not because DB publicly stated that it was unsustainable for him to keep plowing the money into the club so he was walking away?

Why are we even talking about Leigh on both the Rochdale, New signings and other threads on the Fax forum?
Let’s be fair, your the one doing the hi jacking purely so you can get back at GFB and stick it to the rest of us in the process, the reaction is unprecedented.

You’ll have to start a separate grievance thread otherwise it will never end.
