| Quote: marillion man "I think all of your above quotes of "not going again" sort of sum up the demise of Halifax RLFC's attendances over the recent 15 years or so, well pointed out JD. What would be the point of contacting the board ? they don't listen to what the supporters want, some of them appear to have the attitude of we'll do what we want anyway. One of the current b.o.d. asked me to "judge us at the end of the season" in an email to me around may last year, well, i've got news for him, the league table & our team's performances judged for themselves, the attendances didn't lie & in my opinion, dropping the reserves & going dual-reg is yet another b.o.d. error, so waiting until the end of 2015 season will be about three or four months too late 'cos there's a split at the end of july and if we cannot finish higher than 5th position it will be disastrous. If we can finish 4th at least, that would make us 8th worst ( or thereabouts ) in the middle eight division, that'll be fun if we can't already compete or beat those above us in the part of the season prior to the split of divisions !
The "finances of the club" as you put it are dependant on the b.o.d. making correct business decisions, i fully understand the concept, IT'S THE ENTERTAINMENT BUSINESS !!!!! Are the club or it's directors prepared to say how much the club shop lost last season yet ?
I'll put a question to you with regards to those who "stayaway" because of the inferior product being served up
Your right Colin, I had never thought of it that way.
I will not go to Leigh as they don't do chips. Workingtons were poor but at least they do them so I will go under protest.
Sheffield, I hate the place and as they don't do chips it will not worry me not going.
I've wasted four trips to Toulouse as they don't do chips so I will be very cross if they are allowed back into our league.
Batley and Keighley you can expect my full support.
As Nelson famously said "I see no Chips"

| What is a club like Halifax supposed to do? Find its own second team? How? The old A team system was widespread amongst all the clubs - it was competitive. What we have today is a shambles of a reserve grade comp which is now not worth the investment - especially for a club competing in The Championship on limited resources.
Sometimes you have to go with the flow until a better system emerges or until someone arrives at the club with a wad of cash.

That would be O.K. if the flow wasn't going the wrong way!

Actually HS it's a myth.
Check it out.
Online quote.
"Ostriches don't bury their heads in the sand—they wouldn't be able to breathe! But they do dig holes in the dirt to use as nests for their eggs.
Several times a day, a bird puts her head in the hole and turns the eggs."
From a distance it just looks that way.
In reality they are handling their responsibilities to look after their offspring and future.

| Defying logic and against instinct I actually agreed to go to a football match last Saturday. My grandson, Halifaxwilliam, on the right with Grandson Nottinghammatthew bought a scarf, half blue and white for Rochdale and half red and white for Forrest. Halifaxwilliam has agreed to lend it to me on Sunday (he will be wearing his full blue and white) so that I can be seen to be supporting both clubs.
Incidentally, my thoughts on the game of football? Picking up the ball and running with it would improve it no end.

By definition you already do "support both clubs" !
Yeah, picking the ball up & running with it would be such an innovation in the footy game, a bit like kicking the ball in RL, to score a try, rather like the modern game whereby approximately 50% of tries are scored from a kick.
Marvellous stuff, learning from other sports.

Rugby Union owes its current status thanks to the thrashing Wigan gave Bath.
It was a wake up call.

JD, not for the first time, this comment of your's has thrown me !
I don't understand where you're going with that, but if you firmly believe that, good grief !!!!!
Guscott refused to play in that game anyway....

Guscott did refuse to play, he didn't fancy playing against League men. He did however fancy beating up an old age pensioner a few years later (allegedly)
My point was that Rugby Union was light years behind Rugby Union in fitness, tactics and professionalism.
Until that game how many players had gone to Union from League rather than the other way round.
The pasting Wigan gave them made them sit-up and take notice. Do you remember the goal kicking duties were handed around because the score was not intended to go above 100 for Wigan in the first half.
82-6 with Offiah having one try disallowed.
16 tries, only 9 conversions.
Second half 44-16 Wigan 3 tries 2 conversions.
Don't forget that a few weeks earlier Wigan won the Middlesex 7's.
7 Years later Sale beat StHelens.
That was the point I was trying to get across.
