Exactly what I was thinking. So why are you getting your frilly's in a twist? | | |

General reflected idiocy? What on earth does that mean? Who is being judged? and by whom? When did you represent anyone important?
You acknowledge that it isn't all fax fans but you don't appear to mind the generalisation.
As for your motives, I've no idea. Ask yourself? I don't care why you are dummy spitting. You just are. | | |

[b]The real troubles in your life are apt to be things that never crossed your worried mind
The kind that blindside you at 4pm on some idle Tuesday.
Do one thing everyday that scares you.
Don’t be reckless with other people’s hearts, don’t put up with people who are reckless with yours.
Don’t waste your time on jealousy-sometimes you’re ahead, sometimes
you’re behind…the race is long, and in the end, it’s only with yourself[/b]:5728.jpg |

| Quote: Code13 "The only ones spitting dummies are the Fax supported club who can't accept that for all Wakefields failings, they had a better bid than theirs.'"
Does anyone know that? Really? I'm not disputing the fact out of hand but wouldn't the RFL be better explaing their decisions?
Only prob with that is that they, or some Halifax fans, could end up looking a bit daft. | | | |

| Quote: roughyedspud "i think the point is teams like widnes,leigh & halifax busted a gut to meet the criteria and spent millions in the process........where as the likes of wakefield & castleford have done bugger all but got in
How have Cas done nothing
Finished bottom in the season before franchises were given out , but are now 7th in league and in semi final of challenge cup . We are solvent and have used our three year tenure to continue to develop our youth , marketing and community set up . We have obtained and been granted FPP for a new stadium , which when WR is sold WE will pay for as we actually own our ground , but will not be rushed into accepting a lower price than it is potentially worth by selling to a housing company at a much deflated value , but instead we choose , quite openly , to wait and receive its true value and sell to a supermarket chain instead .
Indeed , the Castleford Tigers should be seen as the exact reason why franchising works . We were continually up and down between SL and Championship ( National league at the time ) under the P & R set up , unable to get a footing in the SL as , by the time the winner of the NLGF was determined , SL regular season had long finished and any decent players from the relegated SL club had already been snapped up , meaning that we were the weakest team when promoted , hence all too often were relegated again , but because we had money from SL , we were able to stay full time and , were hence far superior to the teams in NL , and so we came back up again , to go down again and so on and so on . How can this be the way forward . If P and R were re introduced Fax would still be no where near SL for these very reasons as when the SL team was relegated they would stay full time and be in a much more advantageous position than NL and would come straight back up .
I do understand your frustration , but ATEOTD you were not considered good enough to take the place of Wakey , or whichever other club was deemed to have the 13th best application . It isn't just about a stadium . Indeed , how can you say we have done nowt ( meaning basically no new stadium ) and use this as an argument , when you want P & R , which wouldn't involve any stadium criteria . It seems very contadictory to me , but maybe I have just got the wrong end of the stick

I agree with you by the way.'"
I didnt say it was required for them to get a license, i said it was required for them to guarantee themselves a license.
The object of licenses, the object of the RFL and the SC and pretty much all the rules of off the field SL is based on getting the bottom clubs to the level of the top clubs. That isnt achieved by throwing away the growth already gained by Wakefield so Halifax can try in three - five years time to be slightly less crap than the crapest club in the competition. | | | |

| Quote: Starbug "So what do you suggest they do instead ?'"
I suggest they follow the superb examples shown by Andy Glover and others at Wakefield and Steve O'Connor and others at Widnes. Both have been through various examples of adversity, testing times and big personal risk - yet remained positive and determined to demonstrate to the RFL they were worthy of places in SL. As I've said elsewhere, the process we have has been agreed by the clubs, it's up to the clubs to embrace it and raise standards at every level. I accept its tough for non-SL clubs without the SKY money and the inevitably lower crowds they get - but that's the way it is. Instead of moaning, continue to grow your club. The fans clearly bought into Glover and O'Connor and have backed their clubs. If Halifax aren't careful, their fans might just give up. |

Luck is a combination of preparation and opportunity
Just to avoid confusion Starbug is the username of Steven Pike
SOMEBODY SAID that it couldn’t be done
But he with a chuckle replied
That “maybe it couldn’t,” but he would be one
Who wouldn’t say so till he’d tried.
So he buckled right in with the trace of a grin
On his face. If he worried he hid it.
He started to sing as he tackled the thing
That couldn’t be done, and he did it!:9005.jpg |

So Wakeys attendances have rocketed since Mr Glover turned up ?
Widnes are getting more since Mr O Connor turned up ?
Are they ?
Or is it just more bollox
Yes you are right , Faxs fans might give up , I certainly have , SL is now a closed shop , just as we all suggested it would be , and the Championships ( Christ they even changed the bloody name of the comp to accommodate a French club that has now left ) will continue to struggle |

I will say one thing though Starbug: Do you know how many people watched the Championships in the last round (excluding the Widnes crowd of 3,873) last weekend? 8,078. Super League matches brought in 54,559. I'd say that 8k figure has to treble before the RFL sit up and take notice, and probably justifiably so. With those kind of numbers should the RFL give a hoot about life outside Super league? |

Probably not , but I'd be happier if they just told us as much , and stopped messing about with the competitions like they do , and pretending they give a stuff , like feeding Fax the titbit they did at the end of last year
They either don't give a stuff or are just too stupid , personally I think they want us around , but not to get any better/ bigger , a bit like having a puppy to kick occasionally when you have a bad day at work
