Quote: Fax4Life "Gives us Fax fans loads of pleasure as they rubbed our noses in it when we went down in 2003 and before when they were at the top of SL, oh how the mighty have fallen.
I must say I would not want to see no Bulls but when they were successful the Bulls blatantly poached fans from Calderdale and around Halifax with cheap and often free tickets, they did the same to Keighley and stole support from these areas to try get us out of their way to grow the Bulls brand at our expense.
This extended and still does to young players, they poach players from Halifax as Bradford is not as strong a RL area.
So take the medicine Bulls fans as you lived on money that you never had and are now paying the price, you will bounce back from this one day though but it will take time.'"
Stealing fans?? RL clubs are businesses, fans are the bread and butter - locality has nothing to do with it, these fans you say left fax and Cougars obviously moved because the product on offer was better and the price more appealing.
Its a competitive world, dog eat dog or in this case Bull eats Cougar/Blue Sox - its a shame for Fax/Keefly that mr Deakin landed on the Bulls doorstep because he was the master of marketing etc...
If you were a 14 year old - which club would you go to improve your chances of playing SL? Fax in the champs as part timers or a SL club with full timers and playing against the cream of your age group? its a no brainer.
I hope we stay in SL and Fax make it up too - a proper local derby with plenty of bite
