Just seen a leaflet in the local chippy for the fax game , what a genius idea, deffo going to the game now .

[quote="Greg Florimos Boots":28j5qa22]When you say privately how do you mean? As mentioned previously, I know lots of ex-sponsors who have not been contacted. You can't just bang a post on social media and expect people to be all over it, maybe this is why they have ended up trying to sell packages in the week leading up to games. You can say this is me moaning but it is also me showing concern at what is happening at the club I have supported all my life. Its business 101 FFS.[/quote:28j5qa22] Privately means directly. Social media is in addition to direct contact which as stated is an open invitation to former and new individuals to get involved at various levels, last week they got slated for not advertising in certain areas this weeks their being slated in the areas they are using, nothing ever seems good enough. To portray the social media efforts as "just banging a post on social media" is just inaccurate and typical of how things are spun every time over what the club does or doesn't do. I don't know why the club hasn't contacted the people you know but emails, phone calls etc work both ways and all it takes is for someone to pick up the phone and respond to the open invitation and surely when the club is fighting for survival that's not too much to ask from life long supporters? Regarding this forum I've personally spoken to several at the club past and present and to a man to put it mildly they don't view it as being representative of the club or a place to come for support because of the lifetime of negative comments from certain individuals some of which go way beyond just having a moan.

There was a very popular Facebook Group at one point named "Fax Matches", the person behind this was brought into the club in some capacity and it was closed down. The club have a degree of control over the "Fans Forum" on facebook I believe nowm I could be wrong but I'm pretty sure it is backed by them There was a popular independent podcast, the people behind that brought into the club, now there's no podcast. It might not be representative of the club as a whole, but it represents a section of people's views.

That very fact means people on here are free to say whatever they like as often as they like and over time you would expect the law of averages would show the positive mixed in with the negative. This isn’t the case on here, by freedom of choice the views and comments of a few are constantly critical of the club over anything and everything. Put what’s been said by some on here on any form of advertising and see how many take up offer. If no one said anything else in a short period of time there would be just 3 serial moaners, a couple of neutrals and little to no normal general rugby league chat found on other forums.

I blame it all on't Russians!

[quote="Brew":2afqxxah]The club don't like this forum because they have no control over it..[/quote:2afqxxah] That's IF they don't like it! How can they see negative posts if they don't read them? Anyway, I think the opinions on here are valid and I respect each and every one of them, all factual and not moaning. The only moaner on here is the one who constantly moans about the alleged moaners!

On a positive note I have managed to persuade some friends to go to the game Sunday telling them how well we are playing and back on the topic of the game it would be a major disappointment if we can't manage to get over the top of Barrow given how we have played in the first two competitive games.

It would be a major disappointment though if Fax didn't follow up what, to many, was a surprisingly good result at Sheffield. I'll go Fax 32v14 Barrow. Can't wait. Up The Fax!

Silly me. I thought an opinion in a subjective setting such as on a rugby forum is nothing more just an opinion. Apparently it's only those who have an inflated opinion of themselves rather than the subject who claim it to be fact. [b:39bgeikt][i:39bgeikt]One actual fact still remains though and that is the admission prices are still the same so keep on moaning and stay at home having a free cry on the club.

Excellent news if Hurrell available again this week - would be good to know what the injury situation is with McCarron and Graham.

Charlie Graham had a pot on at Sheffield, Still not sure what happened to McCarron, just went down. Looked in some pain getting off the pitch too

[quote="Greg Florimos Boots":93lhjxwg]Heard Charlie Graham was a broken hand so fingers crossed might only be a month or so.[/quote:93lhjxwg] Apparently he got it stuck in a letter box, one of them with the big springs out posting flyers.

I see the club is advertising advance tickets at £20 and £23. WRONG! The tickets will cost approx £21.50 and £24.50. Maybe should be reported to Trading Standards ...... it's like a pub showing a pint as £3 on the board but then charging you £3.60, saying the advertised price doesn't include VAT. The club needs to sort itself out, it's a mess.

Total fees £21.56 and £24.76 respectively with the final amount clearly on display before anything is payed for, depending on where you shop many goods are initially advertised with or without vat or surcharges added, it’s not like your expecting that you wouldn’t have to pay it though. Good luck with your trading standards report, maybe send it Sunday afternoon from 3pm onwards when your sat at home

No Hurrell in Saints' squad for their visit to Cas, so more than likely he'll be with Fax. But you wouldn't think so. Absolutely nothing from the club, real tumbleweed stuff. A great opportunity to advertise Hurrell to add some bums on seats but most likely nobody will know about him except the few who bother reading social media. What a waste!

Mmm advertising a DR player to get bums on seats, especially one who Wellens and Saints are using us just to get his fitness up. Whatever next. Maybe a bum staying at home, what a waster.

Hearing hurrell won't be available for us Sunday due to him having to deliver leaflets around elland and Greetland.

When the squad is announced it will be at the usual time in the usual way.

18 named in this weeks squad and only Hurrell on dr. Whatever your views on dr i would of thought if we are going to use it now would be the time to get a few bodies in from saints with them having close to fully fit squad.

I don't agree..Eastmond is doing a fantastic job with the players he has and they should get the shirts first.DR should only be used when gaps in the squad arise as per Hurrell...
