A nice reminder of trolls from rival teams, like Saints circa 2002.

Takes me back to when RL Fans was first established, and I was the mod on the original Bulls forum on here. Spent half my time attending to the antics of some of our Fax friends, and a few who masqueraded as Fax. At least we haven't had to worry about them for a good few years now. Anyone remember that especially unpleasant "Hobsons' Knees", for example?

It's forty miles to Halifax from our house. We will be going to watch Donny beat Wakefield on that day. We have had Season tickets for years, but now we longer live in Bradford, we alternate between the two, depending on who is at home.
Bulls season ticket £60
Dons season ticket £50
Bargain Rugby League all year!

damn, there goes the record then

Oh, I'm sure they were. I don't think it was a "total flop" in any way, - it clearly wasn't - but the reason for the decent all-SL attendances is all down to the success of the RL's "free ticket" policy. And well done them for a good idea to do something to boost what were some really poor attendances.

But turning up to a home game when you don't have to pay is one thing, and attending an away game (especially one that's live on TV) is something else. Anyway, enough of this, whatever happens the game will be played in front of a decent enough crowd, and with a good atmosphere, and I genuinely wish Halifax every success with all of it except the result.

Won't be quite the same as the smell of wintergreen wafting across a frozen Thrum Hall pitch on Boxing Day in driving snow and sub-zero wind, but still a pretty good day should be had by all.

It's fans like these tools that make me wonder if me attending the Shay when they were desperate for a crowd to avoid going out of business, was actually worth it or not.

Good job I know a few Fax fans who are nice folk, otherwise I might get a very tainted view of the supporters.

I paid that lot £50 towards their fund, when they looked to be going out of business.

When you read the waknerage some of these cesspits spew on here, you wonder why the hell you ever bothered?

I REALLY DONT UNDERSTAND THE ANGER?!

AMAZING....WE SHOULD BE ALL LOOKING FORWARD TO THIS GAME...NOT BICKERING!
