Well said.

There is no moral high ground. And please don't think that when you visit an away game you boos that clubs coffers by TENS OF THOUSANDS OF POINDS! if you generated that amount you wouldn't be in the pickle you are and neither would we because of al the money you bring to Fax on game day.

Rod Studd has come up with an innovative idea of a supporter-run model for us. Such blue-sky thinking.

Mind you, Mick is wholly on-board with the idea:

‏@TheGameCaller
With the help of @SuppDirect and the @TheRFL we can offer the supporters of the club the choice of being in control.

Why dont your club get their own finances in order stop asking players to take pay cuts and start paying rent on your ground like the football team have to do

Don't think any supporter of any club can have any moral higher ground for as long as they are that, merely supporters. I follow the club I do merely by stint of being from that city and being taken there as a child. Anything the club does has little to do with me, good or bad. There is no moral ground to be had unless you are actually a club owner.

Errm, the pay cuts were required to do exactly that - to help get the clubs' finances in order. We've lost one of our best players as a result. On the rent point, there have been disagreements with the landlord (Calderdale Council), but it appears that these have been ironed out and there are no payments outstanding (I say "appears", 'cos I don't work for either the club or the Council). Fax certainly have money issues (as have most professional RL clubs), but why do you think they're still a part-time outfit despite the additional funding that the middle-8's brought last year?

I wish you and your club all the best, and hope you can work something out. If the worst does happen (expulsion or relegation), then I also hope that some sort of deal can be brokered for the Bulls faithful that have invested in Season Tickets for next year.

Wasn't there some discussions about a group of fans setting up another club earlier this season? I think they managed to create a Twitter account and everything?!

Pretty sure that was a fax fan on the wind up.

I'm not going to repeat what HXSparky has said but if you are interested there is a small interview in the Halifax Courier with Mr Croad. He does say the club made a small profit last season and gives a general explanation of what and why the club have done to steady the club. If you don't want to read it fine. As everyone says we don't want to see Bradford go the wall but it may just happen this time. Hope not

I can absolutely guarantee that was Halifax fans (plus Rod Studd) on the wind up.

This thread isn't about Fax or anyone else so can we try and stop the thread drift. If you want to discuss Fax they have their own board where you can do it.

Thanks
