We need to forget all this rivalry and remember what both Halifax and Bradford have achieved together that had far reaching positive consequences.

For example as the story goes one dark night old Percy Shaw is on his back from Bradford to Halifax and when he gets as far as Queensbury with the fog as thick as pea soup, barely being able to see his hand in front of his face never mind the road ahead he’s in real danger of going over the edge crashing to his death.

Suddenly coming in the other direction his headlights pick up the shining gleam of a pair of cats eyes.

In that moment a brilliant idea forms in his mind that if only all roads had these to guide the way how much safer things would be and on surviving the ordeal the rest of the road studs cats eyes history is there for all to see.

As the late great Ken Dodd once said if the cat had been walking in the opposite direction Percy would have invented the pencil sharpener.

Apparently big nige is doing a sponsored walk from odsal to the shay tomorrow to help raise funds for the club , he was gonna run but the councils figured the damage to the pavements would outweigh the money raised from the run .

The bookies have given Fax 10 start which I suppose is just about right given our appalling record against the top 7 this season.

Out of the 13 games so far against the top 7, Fax have won just 1 (York at home) and the 12 defeats include just 1 where we managed to get within 1 score. We certainly belong where we are in the table!

Sweeeeeeeet ............................

Total relief. Yippee.

Oh hali hali , hali hali hali hali halifax

Aye, we've got one happy Hudd-Shay tonight!

After a season of rubbish that reminds me why i keep coming back for more - made my weekend!

Well done Fax. Took your chances. Larroyer had the best game I've seen from him in ages and I'm glad we've got Keyes next year as his kicking game was perfect.

Yep, think that might have been best game I've seen Larroyer play for a long time. Keyes kicked well, Salty and Woody both brought it out well from the back. Surprised Hursey came off when Kav and Gee were obviously blowing hard at the end of the game. Great ending to a difficult season.

Despite some recent talk about Gee's commitment, and the fact he is going to the bulls next year, I thought he was immense, he just kept taking it in hard every time and I think he did the full 80 playing in a central role (unless i missed him coming off in all the excitement).
