920 crowd today, with the vast majority supporting Fax. Still sadly lacking support at Championship and below in the game. The telling thing for me looking round today, was how old we all were! Ok, a fair few exceptions, but the majority were (like me) from the "glory days" for Fax in the '80s. There's nothing wrong with all of us continuing to follow the club, but we don't seem to have a vast number of younger supporters (under 30!) compared to the rest of us?'"

Very true HJ , I was at the Leigh v Donny game , as for Waling ?I think GFBs means Wailing , but I like Fax everyone knows this ,I prefer Fax to Fev and the Seagulls , and did predict a Fax win , I think your next few games will be harder , but you don't need me to tell you this .

I think the 2nd spot is still yours if you want it , I was accused of being Patronising when saying this , but my opinion is still the same , Fax are not a bad team ,its my position to call for Big Karls head , it doesn't matter to me who is Coach , I like my friends smiling , so a HAPPY Halifaxjohn , Bentleyman , and Littlerich , means a Happy Charlie , hope to see you all on 11th June . .

Besides my almost exact prediction and a good performance by Fax, another plus was the travelling fans. I was surprised by how many travelled over 'tops, especially after last weeks debacle, and it just goes to show that if we can be challenging for honours the fans will come in numbers and back the team. Dewsbury next! Cheery Tree, shudds, The Publican 5.5% Mmm!

Should be a cracking game against Dewsbury.

Thacks scored 5 tries for the Rams over the weekend, looking forward already to it.

If anyone has a programme from the game to sell i would appreciate it,i was there in plenty of time but they had sold out

Yes, Bentleyman, I had the same problem. I entered the ground at 2.15 and not one programme could be seen for sale (just draw tickets).

I saw just one person with a programme and it appeared to have a green cover and back (I'd have expected red/blue). Had they produced a short run of special programmes to acknowledge their support for a local hospice (whose colours are green) and these were acquired by very early arrivals such as the families of the kids who were playing ahead of the main act?

The Hornets were being described in the blurb on their website ahead of the game as the Rochdale Green Sox and their players did indeed wear green socks on the day.

It is bad though that no programmes were available 45 minutes (at least) before kick-off as there were few fans in the ground at that time (the 'programme stand' was positioned inside the ground and almost all Fax fans were basking in the sun outside the bar).

Is it worth approaching the club? perhaps some were left in the bar or in the directors boxes.

I sent an email to the Club and have not had the courtesy of a reply
