Basically, it's what I attempted to post earlier but forum was too busy. Will support Fax forever but the RFL can take a big hike.

Very sad day for the game.

Should boycott all the RL events - CC final, SL grand final, 4 nations etc. Then cancel Sky subscriptions. Use the money saved to support your club home and away, week in week out.

Might not make a great deal of difference to the RFL, but would strengthen the finances if HXRLFC and secure the long term.

Just a bit surprised how many are saying YES. I do understand their frustrations, but if the question had been turning back on RFL I would have also answered Yes, but I will not be turning my back on Halifax RLFC, thick and thin, always has, always will be.

Stick by the boys first and foremost, what RL needs is a governing body to represent the fans. We need a representative to get across to the RFL that the only fans who are 'pro-franchise system' can be counted on 1 hand.

And we know what they are doing with that one hand!!!!

I agree, you gotta keep supporting Fax no matter what. Happily turn your back on the RFL but not on Halifax RLFC.

what a daft poll , why do fans behave in such a way ? this is when your club needs you the most .

get up , get out and shout for your club now

I for one wont be turning my back on Halifax RLFC, i am angry about the whole process and how the RFL have there own agenda, however it is a us against them now in my eyes, we dont just lay down, or walk away. We stand up and be counted, its times like these that we need to stick together and all pull in the same direction.
We come out in more numbers and begin to fight back, we make our club even stronger, they want clubs like our to wilt away. Lets not give them the satisfaction of this happening. Today would have been so much easier for them if they were us still biting at the heels, we make there life uncomfortable, i like that.

I know at this moment in time things are very raw and we have knee jerk reactions, but walking away is not the answer. We ask ourselves whats the point with it anymore, when things like this happen. Well the point is its still your club and your team, who you support through thick and thin. Its not the number of times you get knocked down its the amount of times you are willing to get back up that makes you. Lets get back on our feet, dust ourselves down and stick it to them in the only way we know now.

Collaberation between clubs is the only answer

You might think that but i can read properly, How about you read the opening post again, IT CLEARLY SAYS IN BRACKETS

[sizeNOT HRLFC[/size

Numbers, this is the big problem, We can't get them, Not pesamistic, Realistic, We had the rallying cry to get people fill in the SL bid Petition, Went stale and dead at about 3000, Crowds, we cant get above 2500 even when winning things every season, Tony Abbott, Come hell or highwater i will get them up to 10,000, if anything they are going down.

Collaboration between clubs and different thinking

turining back on the club would potentially kill us off . Look how Oldham went from a club of a stable fan base as little as 10 years ago to struggling to get 500-600 now. We could quite easily fall away completey if our regulars stop going as we do have a solid 1600 would could easily be down to less than 1000 if we did not stick with them.

I agree with this 100% why lie down and take this garbage off `em and why did they just not say Crusaders could not have a place and were not good enough instead of telling them to withdraw. It stinks to high heaven and we should be as vocal as we can about it.Back your club as it has never been more important to do so.

I totally agree. In spite of us getting a franchise today, I totally disagree with franchising. I would be happy to see the back of it and see The Wakey's and Faxes of the league win their right to be there on the pitch, as a sport should decide such matters. Only the priveleged few clubs benefit from this system; and I mean the top5. The rest suffer or at serious risk of suffering. Its time we all got together and said no to this IMO
