I couldnt careless about Halifax Town or football infact. But when the Luddites come on here and become Keyboard Warriors and put down Fax, then it becomes Them v Us. Trying to tell us how to do things, that Town fans have saved our club somehow and that we cant trust our board etc. For me they lose all respect and when their own forum encourages lies and slander and think its big to abuse people then sorry I have no respect for them. I dont see the need to go on a forum where you have no or little interest just to wind people up.

The problem is Bob your viewing through clouded pernod glasses.
If you take a look at facebook, twitter etc you will see the downright vitriolic, libellous comments not only directed at Mr Abbott but at his charity and worse still his wife and young family.
All of this has been sanctioned by Towns chairman (incidentally the Town statement even spelled his name wrong)
The Town chairman Mr Bossssomworth (sic) sanctioned this by telling his luddites to "make your voices heard by whatever means possible" possible, not legitimate!
At no time have the Town Board or Mr Bosssssomworth (sic) come out and asked for moderation.
I appreciate your sentiments but the moronic hatred of Fax by these people is mostly one way.
I have no interest in football but would like to see a successful Fax, Town, a Halifax Cricket Club and even a successful Rugby union team.
I am very proud of my Town and want anything that bears it's name to be a success (a bit late for "The Halifax " I admit.
Tip Bob, Pastice 45 is just as good as Pernod or Ricard but quite a bit cheaper and is perfect with a rough red wine as a chaser.

I've always wanted Town to do well and always look out for their results but I do find some - not all - of their fans crackers, just so obsessed with trying to undermine Fax in any way possible. I'd love it if both sets of fans got a long because as you say it could only be positive but I can't see it happening.

spot on. It's put me off going down the shay to watch FC Halifax Town. Feel unwelcome as a rugby league fan

Spot on comment. I watched Town in the 90s including the George Mulhall years but now don't feel welcome and I don't enjoy watching football at all anymore. Keep an eye on the results and thats about it.

Me too.

I always wanted Town to do well but past few years ive not been able to find their results. I can never remember if its the Brighouse League or the Halifax Saturday league they play in.

HOW ORIGINAL,POINTLESS AND HELPFUL IS THAT

When you arrive at the Shay to support FCHT what would differentiate you from a regular to make people be unwelcoming towards you?

Because we aren't throwing bricks and dragging our knuckles on the ground.
I am only joking.

In hudds-shays case it would be trying to climb the wall in for free ; )

The last time for me I was stupidly wearing a Halifax RLFC coat as it was the best winter coat I had at the time.
