The decision has already been made mate, if you are still out with us then we are going to the Rugby. Probably ring you tonight mate to arrange everything.

Not myopic and stubborn no, patronising, probably. Apathetic, definitely.

Fact is, rams will lose money as a result. It may be out of their hands, then ok. But if not, they are myopic as a business. It seems a pretty equal split on here of those who will and won't be going.

Enjoy the game on Sunday, and shout extra loud in absentia of those who decide not to go.

Fax Machine.The problem IS that quite a large proportion of them do have an interest in England playing Germany in the World Cup finals.Its not that they all prefer football to rugby,that has nowt to do with it,its that lots of sports followers get patriotic.Sam and Bob both aren't coming for that reason and Sam couldnt care less about the footie UNLESS its the World Cup and against Germany.
Isn't it funny how the other matches in our division have both been switched to 1 O'Clock kick offs.People are allowed to like other sports.I know you like your Motorbike racing.I have no real interest in football,but I do in this particular match.Call me all you want,but the Leigh,Keighley,Featherstone and Widnes folk seem to have prevailed to whats called common sense.
A bit mad for Rugby League I know.
At the end of the day its each to their own and realistically and unfortunately if the game goes ahead at 3 I reckon the attendance will be at least halved.

Now that Dewsbury have made the decision NOT to change the kick off time, what will your decison be?????? Once in four years last 16 of the World cup or Dewsbury away, where we will go year in year out????

Maybe we ought to have a vote???

Answers on a postcard to the RFL, who will colate the answers and give feedback before the end of the season.

Yes but at least the half that go to the game will be "real" RL supporters.

Anyway, each to his own I suppose. From my point of view, if England were playing Germany in the final AND it was being played at the bottom of the road AND I was given free tickets I still wouldn't go.

If I was offered an all expenses trip to South Africa for the game I'd still be at Dewsbury on Sunday.

The last two times I've been to Dewsbury I've been threatened by a drunk fan. So it's no great loss that I'll get to watch Germany v England on Sunday instead of Dewsbury v Halifax. It's a shame they can't move it as I always want to watch fax. However being interested in many sports means I have to mix and match. I don't miss many games, but this is one that i will be sacrificing on this occasion. At least I'll be able to watch Halifax in two weeks time against Whitehaven.

As a sponsor of the club it does make me laugh all of this talk of 'real' supporters. It's just total rubbish. The sport definitely wouldn't survive if it relied on people who solely were rugby league supporters. As people have many interests in different sports. You've made your choice and others will make theirs. Live with it.

Good luck Fax, hopefully we'll win and keep the pressure up at the top of the table.

I don't have a scoooby what myopic means nor do I care but I am off to Doooosbury this sunday!!!!


RL all the way for me!!!

I started this thread off, and consider myself a "real" RL supporter. I've supported Fax through thick and thin for over 30 years, and would normally have been at Dewsbury on Sunday. On this occasion, however, I'll be watching my Country play, albeit at a different sport, instead. Proud to be a Fax (and England) supporter.

World Cup for me, i can count the games ive missed over the years on one hand, Callands charges have me at my wits end though, if i thought we were onto something i might change my mind but Fax have been going through the motions and not showing pride in the club for a while now. Mug i aint.
Someone needs to go through fax like a dose of salts before well get back to RL winning on world cup days.
