The debt that Feisal and Poskitt left certainly had an effect, it prevented us from going full time. Mark had to use some of the RFL/Sky money to stabilise the club.

I recall no-one being interested in the debt while it was being created. It was all about Destination $uperleague 2015.

Craig Poskitt has done an absolutely brilliant job since joining Halifax.

He's taken control of the commercial side of the business and made great strides!

Some people were skeptical of his appointment but he's certainly proven them wrong. Keep it up Craig. Makes it even sweeter that Featherstone fans hate him!

Exactly. It's all very well some people calling Hay's departure "panicking", but Fax persisted with Harrison's brand of rugby for three years or whatever and the fans slowly slipped away, and it's a lot harder getting them back - Fax are clearly a much better team this year but the crowds are still pitiful for a team going well and presumably they will take a while to filter back. Fev have had some decent results this season, mostly away from home, but there have been too many games where we've looked a poorly-coached team, especially in defence, to justify persisting with Hay. It's not our actual position - I thought we'd be in that 3rd-6th bracket, which is where we are - but the manner of a number of our defeats that has been disappointing. The overwhelming feeling this season watching Fev has been that the whole has been less than the sum of the parts, and in such instances the coach is always going to struggle to keep his job.

You've proved you can beat the top teams but for some reason have been soundly beaten at home on a number of occasions, very peculiar to be honest.

Regardless of how well we play I feel most non-season ticket holders will still have to pick and choose which games they attend give the price of entry which is simply too high, particularly when taking a family.

Sounds utopian but we really do need better corporate support fostered and nurtured for mutual benefit - then we can lower entry prices or offer more deals to entice people back through the gates.

Ideally a strong benefactor? Then again we do not want a Cellino or Koukash-type calling the shots do we?

He spoke well at the forums and Ian Croad was certainly happy with his achievements at that point.We seem to have a record number of sponsors.It would be interesting to see if he was able to nail the grants he was optimistic of getting at the time.

Brilliant job. Has he?'"


Yes.

That side of the business is the best it has ever been. Some big sponsorship deals to be announced for next season too.

Why do you think he hasn't been good for the club?

Bearing in mind he had recently been suspended due to complaints from some officials I guess it was only a matter of time before he left his post.

I think this will turn out to be one of Fev's biggest mistakes in years, now we just need to make sure they miss out on the top 4 and it will be one less team to worry about in coming seasons.

Good to see Fev being written off, that's when we've tended to be at our best in recent years.

I didn't say that, I asked a question. What has he done?

You had best start hoping that is the case because whispers seem to suggest you not making the top 4 this season could be pretty much a disaster.

We're Fev. We'd be lost without a couple of disasters every season. Anyway, we're only going on whispers, I need to at least hear some rumours, and preferably some hearsay, or even some gossip, before I take any notice.

He's done nothing. Nothing at all. All the new sponsors and new deals tied up for next year have been sorted out by nobody. POSKITT OUT
