The only reason we are in the same league as fax is cos the RFL couldnt let us drop into Champ1 as it would mess their fixtures up.
So basically fax beat a Champ1 side of young lads with bradford shirts on (plus 1 ageing ex-SL player)
Well done fax, you were the better of the two sides on the day; but beating a champ1 bradford side isnt really that big a deal.
But you should lap it up because you didnt lose - that would have been embarrassing for you.
Like others have said, we'll still have more fans than fax when we're in champ1 next season.

I'm sick of seeing this dribble, Halifax this Halifax that, if you want to start shouting and gloating you Halifax fans, put on the post what you have won in the last 20 yrs, not how many times you may have beating Bradford albeit a championship 1 team

It was nowt to do with fixtures. It was to do with the crowds we take to away grounds and how the majority of the league didn't want to lose out on their Bradford payday.

If we only took the taxi full other teams bring to Odsal when we went on away days, we'd have started this season in league 1 on zero like everyone else.

I think it was more to do with fixtures than anything else. They couldn't promote another team at a few weeks notice as they had prepared their squad to be in League 1 and far too complicated to fast track Toronto at short notice, I would of thought the plans to get away teams to Toronto would of been in place

Am sure Whitehaven were quoted as saying they would happily have taken a Championship spot.

Yep. No one asked them though. For reasons known only to the RFL.

While you are mulling over your long long past glories - you could watch Fax v Whitehaven on Sunday streamed live on the BBC seen as you have a free weekend

Problem is that there are so many past glories to catch up on how is one supposed to make time for such things. So much to catch up on .... so little time.

And don't forget my dad is bigger than your dad or my widgy is bigger than your widgy

I think all this is going on too long now. We are not a big club, for Halifax or Rochdale to beat us now is not a big deal, for us to beat a Batley or a Dewsbury is not a big deal. It's what happens in this league, most teams can beat most teams.

The RFL still seem to think we are a big club. And a few of the SL chairmen. We know that we are not currently "big". Perhaps it's them that need telling?

Past glories and big success and fabulous trail blazing SL years for us.But then, of late, big on debt and sadly big on failure. On the plus side we do have a big ground and more importantly a big fan base who are big on loyalty.We have a re-emerging Academy with big things expected of a few of our young players.So we have all seen the big, the bad and the ugly times, but the Club still has a big and strong heart beat and hopefully the prospects of a bigger and brighter future once we get over our currant big visa problems..What really epitomises our 'bigness' is the way we are overcoming diversity within a game which ,for all, is in decline since those glory years. The challenge couldn't be any bigger than now. COYB

our support is fairly "Big" with a bit of investment we could quite easily be "big"...
that's the depressing thing about it...

That and having to listen to 6 fingered clowns from Halifax gloating about our current situation, whilst the other topic of conversation in Fax been "did you know they wear things on their feet in Bratfud?, I think they calls them shoos"..ha

That's far too sensible a comment with the rubbish going on here
