We only make 'A" or 'R' movies here buddy. If you want 'B' you gotta go south of the border. |

Answer the question. How can the TW attendance both be correct but also maybe a bit on the "light side"?
The facade is slipping...

Its not me that slippin' Sparkster!, I already answered the question previously in the thread...Now I used to live in Halifax, Nova Scotia so I will forgive you this time...over here people that live in Halifax are known as Haligonians. Hello fellow Haligonian. |

I must have missed it? You said that the attendance figures were totally accurate, but then said that they were probably a little "light"? It just doesn't equate.
Folk that live in the "original" Halifax are just known as being from Yorkshire (and proud of it). We have a gibbet if you fancy taking that on though? |

He said it didn't include, staff, stewards, ball boys and Doris the Tea-Lady......
...in other words he was found out!

Yes, I'm not sure if the players the security have to buy a ticket and have it counted...probably not so the attendance could be a littler higher than actually stated if you include them.
I won't take on the gibbet but I do have a couple of questions for you:
1. On one of your signs in the stadium does it say "Hepworth Road"-.is there a place called 'Hepworth' there?
2. The announcer you have for your games on You Tube (I love watching the Halifax games on You Tube) is just great-did he used to be a pro?, he sure does a good job.
3. Thats one weird cheer you have, its a crazy cheer-how do you make that cheer?
4. How is Fleming doing there?-report please.
I really enjoy watching Halifax on You Tube...you guys are doing a great job there!

1. Hepworth is here... rlhttps://www.google.co.uk/maps/place/Hepworth,+Holmfirth/@53.5579848,-1.7641283,15z/data
2. I don't know what his background is, but he's been doing it for a while
3. What cheer is that?
4. Dan is doing very well, and improving all the time. Destined for SL IMO in a year or two if his development continues.
Fax TV used to be a subscription service, but has now shifted to YouTube courtesy of sponsorship from one of the club's directors.
Btw, it's Haligonian rather than Halognian, and the term only refers to people from Nova Scotia and not West Yorkshire, despite some sources (such as Wikipedia) stating otherwise.

Your Hepworth is a metropolis compared to our Hepworth in Bruce Country...a regular city ....there is always an interesting story (usually of a brave immigrant) behind the copying of these place names....there is a real god outdoor /kayak / canoe outfitter in the Hamlet of Hepworth over here.
The announcer is good and the cheer is like people rolling their tongues around or something...odd. Hope Dan and the family and new young un are doing well. That club director was right or I would never have seen Halifax on You Tube and become a fan!
All the best. |

Some great things happening at Halifax.
Huge credit to them for not only backing the reserve grade concept, but pioneering a way to ensure they can financially afford to do so, despite being a part-time club as such. There really is no excuse for any SL/top championship club to not run a reserve side.

It'll be similar to Leigh's then won't it? Well, along with all the French & Samoans too. How many Leythers make your 17 remind me?

HOW MANY TIMES?????
£20 a ticket and £15 on beer and merchandise.....so an away fan is worth £35. At best, 1,000 is the average away support split across 11 rounds and I am being really generous here, so Toronto, replacing say Wakefield will cost a SL club £35,000.
The minimum turnover of a SL club is £4,000,000 so Toronto instead of Widnes is worth less than 1% of a SL clubs turnover.
There are many valid reasons for and against expansion into America, but "AWAY FANS" isn't one of them.
