I don't think even the FAX Fans read GFB posts , the guys an attention Freak , he even states in his posts "He knows NOTHING ".Charlie knows .  . |

| Quote: mr. chairman "Should I also inc grant rix , Colin Whitfield and tony anderson . How old are you Greg'"
Grant Rid was about the time my old man took me to my first game. Whitfield was ok as was TA but really not in the same class as the players I mentioned. If anyone is was the Aussie Dave Woods who would be closest to getting in that top 3. Bouveng was ok as was Pearson.
Edit: forgot about Stuart Donlan who might just pip Dave a Woods to 4th........oh but then there was Watto I forget how blessed we have been with good players and good characters at Fax over the years. |

Obviously not in the class as those mentioned but will forever be remembered fondly by Fax fans especially for his Grand a Final try against York that helped us avoid back to back relegations. |

Whilst I applaud what Leigh have done as a club, by being able to assemble a good squad by pooling resources of board members and directors, I dont think that directors of the club should be on here scoffing at the finances of the Halifax club as I am sure Gary Hetherington wouldn't be......
if you know Tony Abbott the owner of halifax, you will know that he is an extremely wealthy businessman, who does not need to pool resources from anywhere else other than his own pocket, and clearly the 'unpaid rent' is due to reasons not in the public domain and certainly not because he cant afford it........

I think it is great that your director(s) get involved in the forums, and listen to the fans and take things on board, but there are things that should not be discussed by them on here and other clubs financial positions are one of them....its called tact and its not classy.
I doubt Tony will be pulling out he is trying to buy the Shay from the council and maybe that is why he is holding onto the £65k ??
I doubt Tony Abbott would respond to these 'quotes' on here either.....

 Im sure he will try to convince you he got the ball down but after umpteen replays that gave no indication, this before benefit of the doubt, he looked as shocked as anyone the try was given. The comeback was on and the rest is history. |

Anyway [sizeIm going to go for a Batley shock [/sizein this one as Leigh seem to have problems with in fighting and also havnt really set the world alight pre-season against some poor teams.'"
Sure was a Batley shock  |

I predicted a Leigh win by 10 , never expected a win by 40
