Exactly mate hence why our campaign is about bringing back P&R and ridding our game of this franchising debacle. A return to a sport and excitement!!

This press release is brilliant. As a Leigh fan I have being going on about the same since the licence system started.

I for one will be fully supporting this challenge.

We must hold the RFL to account about their decisions, inconsistencies and lack of transparency.

To do nothing is not an option.

This will make the RFL sit up and listen. I feel sure there is a huge support for the re-intriduction of P&R.

Strangely enough, a big part of me would be very happy of we got into super league via a licence. Knowing that everything we'd need to survive is place. Not going for broke to try and get promoted.

Of course the whole licensing thing would have to be run in the correct manner. That is a whole different story!

Slash the entrance prices for this game too please

While I agree with the principal points raised, I have too many reasons to not want to be involved in this.

Is the Trust been used as a vehicle to carry this "Hate RFL Love P&R Thing"?

The trust has done well raising money over the past year for the u23s (and years gone by for other things) and could potentially damage its reputation.

Is this activity in the interests of a Supporters Trust? Supporters Direct mission statement reads - [i"Our goal is to promote sustainable spectator sports clubs based on supporters' involvement & community ownership"[/i. This to me is nothing to do with the running of the club and the like, and would possibly be better placed as an activity for the supporters club.

Its everything the Trust is all about Brew. Its acting as the voice of the supporters of which a large majority I would confidently guess are miffed about the whole franchise process.

i posted this on the VT,

we could start a 'HATE Stevo' campaign while we're at it!

in all seriousness as a fax fan i see the word 'hate' as a mistake, so soon after our decline of a franchise. however, i do believe that the supporters trust are doing this for the right reasons and not just 'sour grapes'.

Halifax ST know that the RFL aint going to change their minds, but what this campaign might do, live on sky, is get the voice out for fans below SL.

this time Fax missed out, we still havent heard why? but many on here believe its because our bid wasnt good enough, maybe that was the case. But i believe it was because the RFL saw big money Glover and rubbed their hands!

this campaign, if carried out correctly will let the world know that the RL community that choose to support it could make a difference.

the differnce that needs to be made in my opinion is new people in charge of our great sport, people that dont gamble with Rugby league's reputation and gamble on its future, expansion worked with Catalans and i aplaud that, but can any true RL fan say they think its going to catch on anywhere else??!

North east - failed
2ns french team (toulouse) - failed
paris - failed
wales - failed
london - failed (my opinion)

Lewis and Wood have tried......and now its time to let someone else with new ideas in!

give us our sport back!!!!!!!!

Bloody hell, sounds like a massive flat capper fest this, not sure if ill bother going now as i dont want a banner sticking in my face.

Whilst I agree with the cause, I agree with the others who have questioned the name of the campaign. "Hate RFL" means "Hate Rugby Football League", which I presume none of us do. Whilst some may claim to "Hate the Rugby Football League" this is highly emotive, and makes the campaign look like it is by people who are bitter and twisted, rather than having an objective concern for the future of their sport.

I appreciate the campaign has been launched, but is it not possible to reflect on the campaign title and change it to something which actually reflects the cause rather than the emotion.

Play in a RL hotbed and get decent crowds yes BUT what have they done for the French national team???
Nowt cos they are a team full of non Frenchmen.
What do they do for the ENGLISH game?
Nowt as they are taking up a place in OUR league.
In a way they are probably hurting the game in France as what if you took say Man U or Arsenal out of the Premier League? It would lose some appeal as they are two of the major draws and have huge support.

I have nothing against them but stick to the facts please.

Me too can we change the swear word one to this instead?

I disagree but we can't agree on everything. The campaign is Hate RFL, Love P&R and on my part reflects how I and many others feel about the state of the game currently. I hate what the RFL currently stand for, the lies they feed us, how they dictate, how they change the goal posts and how they have 2 very poor figureheads running our sport. More importantly I HATE how our game is no longer a sport in the true sense with P&R. I understand the sentiment of hate can be perceived as a strong word but we need to provoke interest and a response. Our campaign isn't about us not winning a franchise, this was merely the icing on the cake. If we stand by and do nothing I fear we won't have a game to watch any more in 5 years.

Thank you for your comments, we will listen and if the consensus is that it is too strong we can change tack. I just feel we need to stand strong and ride the initial raised eyebrows.

We are doing this for the RL Family and not just Halifax RLFC.

Great idea, hope it has an effect, to me hate is too strong a word though.

LOVE RL = NEED P&R

'Save Rugby League' says enough imo
