I've not posted for a few days, I've been a little bit busy with far more serious matters than massaging the bruised egos of certain posters. and nor should I feel the need to justify a question to every man or woman and their dog.

But here goes anyway.

Malcolm, I am equally disappointed at your negative reaction and creating a post specifically aimed at me, the post was not directly or solely aimed at you, if you took personal offence then I am sorry you feel that way, note, I am sorry you feel that way! I'm not sure some of the inner circle would give up positions held within the club just like that though, or genuinely deem it in the Clubs best interests to pass on the baton, for some it has become a way of life, but in essence the point about people needing to step forward and take responsibility and pressure off some people is one I wholeheartedly support. It would however be quite wrong to assume any moral high ground by you or anyone by stating what you have done for the club, or what you have charged, a great many people have assisted the club over the years in many different ways, if someone gave their last pound or their first £100,000 I would not judge one morally inferior to the other, for some it has been time and/or services, and others its been their own personal finances in different degrees

Littlerich, let me get this right, you're requesting private information of a new poster be cross referenced with another poster who agrees some sentiments? are you for real? and with no authority, clearly a poor understanding of Data Protection or evidence of anything, other than they do not share the same opinions as you? I'd also like to point out that everyone on here has a 'first post', I would hardly see it as suspicious because they have an 'opinion' .

Tonyfax, a standard reply, next!

It's noticeable how many have come out of the shadows and have shown they think they are above any criticism, but are quite happy to spend endless evenings criticising other posters, their own team, the coaching staff, the RFL, SL or the Championship etc. Its been an interesting exercise if nothing else, and does highlight a few things..

I've watched Fax for approaching 30 years, overseas and UK, I've been treated to some brilliant away days, by opposing Clubs and Directors and have had some truly fantastic times and met some great people. Just recently I was very encouraged to see how approachable and public facing the Leigh Directors and staff were, a philosophy that Ian Millward reinvigorated many years ago at Hilton Park, I've seen this in France also, and at many other clubs in our own competition and I have to be honest, and brutally so, the experience has on occasions left me feeling more valued as a customer at RL rivals than at my own Club. I still think we have a lot of work to do and fall a long way short of being the true Community Club that we aspire to be, I still see far too many young fans with Halifax links and post codes being absorbed into other RL clubs, People on here can say what they like, massage egos, pat each others back, lick their wounds, hug each other, arrange a pint, tell people how much they love each other, but perhaps you ought to take a look around the stands on Match day, look across the same faces doing the same jobs, and observe the terraces are emptier than for many years, and consider the following, can we just carry on as we are we?

I won't feel the need to hide or create a new account to pat myself on the back, or look for some loving words from Avatars or Virtual Friends, as to be quite honest the numbers don't lie, clearly more and more people are finding other things to do, and I won't be responding to individual questions on a regular basis, I simply don't have the time or the inclination, If people genuinely want the best for the Club then I would start with an honest assessment of what were doing and what were trying to achieve, and simply answering the same thing we've always done and at the same cost , might actually be raising an interesting point! the Club needs to move forward, nobody is bigger than the Club.

Oh and seems as though nobody really answered the questions, and the above should cover Q2, I can formally release my own personal opinion on who I think has improved on the playing front over the last two years, nobody!
