Halifax RLFC Independent Supporters Trust

PRESS RELEASE – 1st August 2011

In light of recent events regarding Halifax RLFC’s failed bid to win a Super League franchise for the 2012-2014 seasons, members of the Halifax RLFC Independent Supporters Trust committee have been inundated with calls and emails of support from all walks of the rugby league community. It is this support that has spurred us into action.

Many have expressed their concern at the events both in the build up to last Tuesday’s announcement and many more surrounding the statements and “post decision” interviews that were issued and given by the RFL hierarchy in the aftermath of Halifax RLFC’s failed Super League bid. We feel the fundamental problem of our game goes much deeper than that, put simply . . . . No Promotion or Relegation.

Therefore the board of The Halifax RLFC Independent Supporters Trust have decided to take a stance. We intend to challenge the integrity, as well as the decisions being made by The Rugby Football League, who without consulting the paying public of our great sport continue to make ambiguous decisions that we feel are not in the best interests of our game. Also this decision is not based on, nor is it a direct attack on any of our fellow rugby league clubs, they can only undertake and look to meet the “franchise criteria” asked of them. Indeed we wish all fellow rugby league clubs the very best of luck during the remainder of this and forthcoming seasons.

However we do feel that our sport is being strangled by the very people entrusted in supposedly driving our sport forward. We feel the RFL through adopting the franchise model in 2009 is killing the game we love and is choosing to ignore the heartlands in favour of expansion at any cost. The current plight of Crusaders coupled with the return to the French League of Toulouse shows that expansion is failing and we already know promotion and relegation is no longer advocated. . . . . Why?

How can our game be a sport without the real possibility of promotion and relegation? – To quote Kevin Sinfield highlighted during an interview with BBC Sport in May 2005, just after the new franchising system was launched "The great thing about sport is competition - relegation is intrinsic to that." - We agree.

What incentive does an ambitious club outside of Super League have if the parameters / criteria of the franchising system keep changing, with new goal posts added or indeed removed at will to suit the RFL hierarchy at that time? The gulf in finances and investment between the top 2 tiers is getting wider and wider and worryingly for any aspiring Super League teams the elite league appears to be a closed shop or at best a masonesque type members club. We have questions a plenty and want answers, not just for Halifax RLFC but for the wider rugby league family on where our game is being taken.

Therefore as an independent voice in support of Halifax RLFC we intend to let our concerns be seen and most certainly heard and we fully intend to challenge the legitimacy of a franchising system that fails to keep to its own “minimum standard criteria” blueprint; more importantly ask why a governing body chooses to strip our game of the true fighting spirit from which it was born out of on 29th August 1895 i.e. Promotion & Relegation.

We are therefore looking to kick-start our “Hate RFL, Love P&R” campaign by staging a protest on Thursday 11th August at the Halifax RLFC v Widnes Vikings game and we invite all rugby league fans to help us to take the fight to The RFL.

Our intention for this event is via the use of banners, flags, t-shirts etc (as the game is live on Sky TV) to voice our concerns. This is merely the start of our battle and it really doesn’t matter if you are a Halifax RLFC supporters trust member; or even a Halifax RLFC supporter or not, join our protest, come along to the game and show the RFL we are to be taken seriously.

What we want and need is a collective, coordinated effort; as we will be much stronger shouting and making a noise together rather than pulling in different directions. We intend to get answers to the many questions we and the rugby league community have. This initial protest will be the mere start, we have lots of ideas but we would welcome input and support from anybody interested in supporting us on this journey.

We will have more news on our plans shortly and we hope you will support us. If you would like to ask any questions or you can pledge support to our “Hate RFL, Love P&R” campaign please contact:-

If I was a Halifax fan I'd feel the same but the RFL have a remit that is wider than the Halifax club, and need to make decisions that are best for the whole game in the long run, which is why I can understand many of the decisions that have been taken in the last few years.

If Halifax had been promoted then Wakefield fans would have started a campaign. All fans will naturally look after their own interests and good luck to them.

I'm not sure they would. Wakefield were coming to terms with their demotion and were moving on and even discussing the prospect of winning a game or two.

At the end of the day I don't support a campaign to bring back P&R as that is the system that created such horrific clubs as they panicked and strived the remain in the division and put short term decisions over long term planning.

But I do support the 'Hate RFL' part of the campaign. I'd support any action that leads to Lewis and Woods being removed from their positions.

"Hate RFL, Love P&R" oh dear, I think this might not be the best way to get your point across. I did a snap poll on franchise day and 34% of RL followers were against P&R.

Lets face it , Widnes fans where pretty peeved last time around, but the swollowed their pride and got stuck in to this bid and look where they are now.

I'm not sure that a "HATE RFL" campaign is the best use of time right now, especially when you can't change the decision made, only influence the next one, and this isn't going to influence the RFL in a positive light for Halifax RLFC.

Despite wanting P&R to return (being a Leigh fan) I can't help but feel this will be a mistake. The RFL are not going to listen to it, they have made far too much money since the franchise began for them to 'nip it in the bud'.

I would however like to see expansion in the game in terms of teams.

Leigh and Halifax should both work hard over the next 3 years to ensure criteria is met, maybe discuss with current SL clubs, I am not sure they would oppose as it would be an extra 2 games revenue per year for those clubs,

In terms of finance if the SL clubs had to sacrifice 150k each of sky money (if sky refuse to increase) to fund the expansion, based on 3000 following fans paying £16 each you would find they would make £96k back in away ticket sales from those extra two games. 50k down still on the money they sacrifice but then take into account home fans who are none ticket holders, maybe another 3000 paying £16 each would give them another £96k. Not forgetting food sales and hospitality sales.

I do know my idea is flawed though as Catalans and Harlequins won't see those levels of attendances, not sure what could be done here but I do think financially it could prove beneficial, especially for Lancashire and Yorkshire clubs

Leigh were never ready this year but I do hope to be contesting in 3 years time

They should be censured for bringing the name of RL into disrepute. Halifax that is.

They want P&R, dock all their points and bloody relegate them.

Idiots.

Everyone complains but no-one wants to do anything about the situation, just in case it reflects badly on their club in the future. Well done Fax!

I haven't really expressed my views on P&R or the franchise system, i really see benifits in both. P&R has sporting benifits, franchise offers long term stability and business growth (when done properly).

I think that this campaign does have it's merits, however I believe that the press release and title of the campaign has lost the battle before it begins. Surely the idea is to play the RFL as an organisation onside to your plans. Foot stamping and shouting wont do this.

I really dont believe that you will get the RFL to change back, I'd bet my life on it. However, you could campaign for changes in the way that the franchise system is seen. A far more realistic target.

I dont know much about campaigns but certainly have ideas that i think would far surpass the initial press release in this thread and would be happy to share the privately if someone from the Halifax Supporters Trust would like my views, feel free to PM me.

On which planet do Leigh or Halifax bring 3,000 supporters with them? Leigh don't even have 3,000 supporters?

Financially having more clubs is bad for the existing clubs as they would have to give up a slice of cash and wouldn't see anything like that return from the extra games as they would be minor games for any club bar possibly Wigan (Against Leigh).

Funny that, there was 8,500+ between them when the two teams played a couple of weeks ago! eusa_think.gif

I agree that 3,000 away regularly would probably be a bit high but I disagree that it would only be a big game (not the biggest obviously) for Wigan. Definitely Widnes as well and you could also probably include Warrington and Saints in that. Lets face it, I would argue that all of these teams would see them as "bigger games" than playing any of Salford, Quins, Cas, Wakefield, Cats, Huddersfield - thats virtually half the league! Plus we would bring more away fans than all of them.

The title of the campaign should be looked at again. It just makes you look chippy. Fair enough start a campaign to bring back P&R, but 'Hate the RFL' is just childish IMHO. Plenty of people who would support a P&R campaign won't back this, as they don't hate the RFL.

I believe the RFL are doing a good job overall in difficult circumstances. They aren't perfect and a positive campaign may be good, but not a protest like this.
