Just heard from someone down at the Shay that the game has been called off by the RFL.



Thanks go to whoever cacked this up for us.

This 100% TS?

Are the club going to bother actually releasing anything official?

Had a call from someone down there, and it has also been confirmed by another source.

That'll cost the club.

From a storming start last season we have now hit rock bottom.

Super League? You have got to be kidding.

Really does appear to be going downhill fast.

I think I may take a sabbatical from this forum for a while. Maybe a season or three. That'll please most people.

I have to shake my head. We spend two years hassling the council to finish the stand. We spend two years assembling a great squad. We have now just cocked up big style. Throw the SL application in the bin.

Not according to Michael Steele - the SL application if fine and dandy even with Clay and Posner leaving - maybe he should have made sure that the Football Director or whoever was responisble was doing their job right.

This is the official RFL release...

The Carnegie Challenge Cup fifth round tie, Halifax v Batley Bulldogs, has been postponed pending the outcome of a RFL inquiry into the circumstances surrounding the fielding of an ineligible player by Halifax in their fourth round victory over Swinton Lions.

The RFL is investigating Halifax’s selection of prop Michael Ostick in the fourth round tie on Friday April 16. Ostick had previously played for Rochdale Hornets in a third round tie against FC Lezignan on Sunday March 7.

RFL Operational Rule B4:15 states that: “The RFL board shall disqualify any competing club which it determines to have fielded an ineligible player save where the club can show there is no fault or negligence.”

Halifax are co-operating fully with the inquiry. The RFL will be making no further comment pending the completion of its investigation.



why today? Surely someone should have found out ages ago? All the best to you all, I know a few Fax fans and feel for you.

Ten grand down the crapper.

I'm fuming. It's hard enough to maintain interest when we have a sporadic fixture list. This just makes me want to throw my 25 years of Fax history in the bin and do something else with my Thursdays/Sundays.
