Every time we approach an important period we just become ravaged with injuries! Ah well, least we can bob Penky at 7 and see if he sparks abit more activity/creativity in the half backs.

I accept your apology. I wasn't trying to get a reaction at all or stir anything up. I just heard something which was correct and put it on a message board.

Although I'd say I've been successful in the mystical agenda you've created for me.

I would say 4 pages of responses, a member of Halifax's staff putting their foot in it, showing the Courier have been told a few porkies by the club and you insinuating Batley fans are 'bitter', would tick a few of the boxes you seem to have created for me.

Give him a badge.



No-one's on his forum. Poor git.

Jeez lighten up, as for Batley fans being bitter well from the hostility (boos and abuse I heard) they gave our lads at your place I think that a lot of them are wouldn't you???
I am not saying i would be happy if it had been the other way around but unless an ex player slags us off (like Gareth Moore) I would leave it.

'Whats their problem?' Join the rest of us who are trying to find out...

Jealousy, its pretty simple they have small club syndrome.

Reading their forum is hilarious. Talk about bitter.

Can't get over some of the stuff i'm reading!

That piece in the courier sums it up perfectly, I really don't see their issue.

Karl Harrison worked wonders at Batley, it goes without saying, he took over not long after we beat them 72-6 or something on a monday or tuesday (?) night and I remember forum posts from Batley fans at the time questioning if they were on a slippery slope down to the level of say Rochdale or Oldham from which they'd not be able to come back.

Within a couple of years he saved them from relegation, and won their first cup in generations.

When Rhino was approached to coach fax he was said in the press (Courier again i think) to have told the Batley board around 6 weeks before the end of the season that he was leaving to coach us, and basically gave them notice to renew contracts of any players they wished to. He didnt his team until after their playoff defeat that he was leaving, even if it was a bit of an open secret.

Rhino didn't leave Batley "in the lurch", they have been able to recruit an adequate replacement not only as the coach but also for most if not all the departing players. But for some reason they don't seem to like Halifax too much

It's all a bit of nonsense really. Batley are one of my favourite other clubs and I love going to their ground. There's lamebrains at every club and if eejits like Graeme Smith want to stick their little chest out and huff and puff then who are we to stop them? Let them have their two penneth - it's all a bit of fun from the minnows.

Please take time to read the posts I have made on this thread, I have said nothing at all other than tell you Dane Manning got injured on night out in Batley.

No chest beating from me amigos. You're winding yourselves up.

Here's where you need to be dingbat rlTumbleweedrl

Troll along ........................

What an intellegent, well thought out and constructive response to a seriously appointed request.

Now, try again. Please read the thread from the begining, understand that I have done nothing but pass on correct information, and then go and get your shine box.

I've looked at your 33 posts. Majority of them are trolling posts on the Halifax board.

Go away and get a life. Post some positive things about your own team. Batley isn't it? Or have you forgotten?

Jog on.
