The Halifax chairman should take a chill pill and ease off Wakefield. Why does he think we were the weakest applicant of those who got in? Why does he think their application is better than ours?

We have long been touted for the drop due to stadia, yet the franchise application is over many criteria and not one or two. We are not the only club not to yet have a new ground but we are going to up grade before 2012. Further we've been trying for many years and politics has stopped us.

Why does he not have a go at Quins, Salford or Cas? Why does he think we are worse than his application. Spouting off impulse reactions will not help his case with the RFL.

I genuinely see a future for Halifax in Super League and hope they get there. However the Chairman should have facts and not believe everything he reads in the media.

Yes, but you have the RFL/Sky money to spend to get it going in the first place, which then attracts grants. Do you honestly believe Halifax wouldnt be able to attract the same grants?



From the RFL's own FAQ released a week ago:-


Tell me, how many bricks have been laid at Newmarket or has your 'redevelopment' even started yet. You made the same promises last time and broke them.

BV is being upgraded in time for start of 2012 season

None, because the SoS has called the application in for a PI; watch this space though.

I think your anger is pointed in the wrong direction to be honest - you were up against Widnes and you lost that fight months ago; you weren't really in contention against the existing SL clubs, you're light years behind in too many criteria.

Believe it when I see it. You made the same promises last time and broke them. The Shay is ready now. If you redeveloped all four sides of BV it still wouldnt be half the ground that the Shay is. Perhaps if we want a license next time around we should demolish half of the shay and go bust the season before. Its worked for you!

Savilles an independent firm of professional property consultants obviously believed it when presented with the evidence by Wakefield.

Your Chariman misses the point, he was willing to accept you weren't in because Crusaders were an expansion club (but with a weaker application than Wakey), but kkicks off because were in and Crusaders are out. Its a bit hypocrtical don't you think?

i'd prefer it if my fellow trinity fans were sympathetic to the plight and the feelings of those at halifax.

this is a shallow and empty process. i'm glad we're still in the top division, but i'm not happy in the slightest today with the world of rugby league.

I see little point in you coming on here and crying pal. The applications were professionally assessed on their merits and ours was considered stronger than yours. End of.

I would be sympathetic if we weren't the target for their chairmans rant and fans who clearly don't know much about our club other than believing the same rubbish peddled about for months spouting off.

TBH I am sick of our club being talked down by fans of others.

Steele is right, the RFL is wrong to give you lot anything more than a kick up the ass... gutless

did you see the applications
