I agree with whats' been said but there is also one other major obstacle to getting fans thru the door. Yes its great to see a good team playing good rugby and winning but at the end of the season whats the point - without promotion I know some people who just cant be botherered because there is no end game. I go to all home games and a fair few away ones , but even then I do wonder why sometimes. I also agree about the price - once you factor in the £15 admission , a programme etc thats the best part of £20 gone -you take your kid / wife etc thats another £20 and in these tough times people will not fork out . Mind you I thought the crowd of just over 2k for the Hunslet game was a good effort and because the Cougars are going well I do expect another decent attendence. Also compliments to all staff at Halifax they are doing their best - big nod to Frank who does a lot of good work with the schools.

maybe a family offer could work?

2 adults/ 2 kids for £32.....that would be effectivley be £1 per kid and parents paying full price, but would still save £8 on normal entry fees.

can only try to win what enter and be the best allowed. would be great to see a fax team win everthing even if no promotion.

Home advantage to play part, tight game until last 20mins (though I don't see Fax ever trailing)

Probably harder to predict the Fax team... what do people reckon?

This I expect will be a very competetive fixture especially if it isn't a dry track which is when I feel we'll be at our best this season.
The personell & form that the Cougars bring into this match makes it a tough one to call but I feel we'll just have that bit more quality & confidence than them to win between 10 & 15 points.
I would expect a crowd just below 3,000 with a decent travelling support. Fax V Keighley is a great local derby, it's always been one of my favourites to look forward to.
Tiger is due a M.O.M.

Expecting Neil Cherryholme and Danny Jones to play out of their skin tonight.

Sheriff has been the Fax acquisition playing out of his skin at the mo.

Tempting fate here obviously but them two playing out of their skin still shouldnt make them as good as what we have.

which? jode or jesse-jo.

Think it could be a messy game tonight, with so many Keighley players playing 'out of their skins'.

Hope Oz has got a bucket and shovel ready to clear the pitch up afterwards.

Almost!
