We didnt have to - we seemed to have loads of neutral fans like yourself there today which helped.

No lad, you are still allowed to stand up at some stadia, not like your dump where the only place you get to stand is in the queue for a match ticket 'cos they don't trust your lot handling contraband such as hard cash.

You dont pay VAT on crowd numbers you pay it on income.

that's cheap coming from you!

Who knows, to be honest it was a good crowd today, sunshine, both teams needing the win. The Capacity of the South stand was 3250, East Stand 3500 if memory serves me correct and the Skircoat had a few folks in it too, well done Fax. Shows good ambition.
On another note, well done Mike Riley for getting stuck in and sheperding people on to the pitch.

pays off? already has as allows fax to make bid.

Why's that, you get the choice of watching the match from three sides currently at the Shay, standing or seated. Not like your dump, you can't even go behind the sticks at yours.

We have a better stadium than your dump.

It is not a dump and that is why we get talked about alot on sky.

Given you bring some fans and not 100-300.. you would get behind the sticks, So its your own fault..

you sure its not due to widnes employees also being used on sky for games.?

if that was the case, why hold a challenge cup semi final there?

so they can mention widnes even more.

Not sure why theres so much doubt about the whole thing. We managed to drag an extra 2 along with us. I also saw a friend who had brought his family (+5) to the game. It's that simple system, bring a friend and the attendance will double.

Do widnes not always open one end for away fans? Its always open when we (leigh) are playing.

That's because your lot are trouble makers

I wasnt at the game today as i was working but if this attendance is true and it sounds like it was then, we have just backed the RFL into a corner, they were banking on us not achieving the average for the season,

lets just see where they stick the goalposts this week then shall we.

to all the Widnes fans on here, if you recall we used to have more than that attendance when we were at thrum hall, you saw when we needed a good attendance to survive as a club, when we really need it the Halifax public does come out in numbers.

Who cares the RFL have made this the farce it is so why not play them at their own game eh



It was actually a good crowd.

my guess would have been around 3500. couple of hundred in skircoat, half full east stand and the same in the south

it is a very expensive day at the shay now to watch a match. perhaps a 3 year plan to boost attendances by offering more affordable entry would be worthwhile

its not easy to persuade a mate with a floating interest to pay 18 quid to watch a fax vs batley fixture

To be honest i prefer clubs like Fax,Leigh,Fev and Widnes in Superleague who are heartland clubs.For me Celtic,london,Salford and Wakey out.

Why have you been crying all night then cuffy? Lost your dummy?

As I said before, the RFL want two clubs like ours at each other's throats. We're more interested in putting the boot into each other than joining together to sort out the charade that they've turned our sport into.

Your dummy throwing has Red Hall rubbing its hands with glee!

Come join us in taking fatty and weasel boy on - it's for the good of the game mate

well what was great today was not just the numbers of extra fans but just how many came wearing blue and white

and the Batley fans too were in their Club colours so I thought it was a great day out

Well done

Completely agree with that, well done 'Fax for playing the RFL at their own game

hang on a minute people

South stand looked pretty full today, would u not say they were 2k in there along, i would
East stand was as busy as i have seen it this year, at least another 2 k
and there were thr die hards in thr skircoat

the club did a promotion, like any club can do for any game to get people in for our last home game. (why dont we do this more offten!)

Well done to the clubs promo team u had a challenge to get numbers in and u did it, our NL1 competitors will always be jelous, well up ya pipe boys we HAVE TICKED ANOTHER BOX

all in all a fantastic crowd on Sunday, another win, seCond place secured thanks to Dewsbury, it dos't make our loss as bad now as they thumped barrow, they only beat us by oone converted try and the bounce of the ball in the last ten mins

The future is bright, the future is Blue and White!

You Mean like Steve O'Conner Syphoning money through your Club to get the £1million Turnover, I see how its ok for one club but not the other !!!!
