Their chairman being interviewed now saying that it should have been a no brainer and that with the withdrawal of Crusaders, they should have been in instead of us.

Bless him!!

and hes right. You havent delivered what you said you going to deliver in the last three years. Why not give them a chance?

Very confident we will move forward now!

You went bust you !!!

Fax have kept their nose clean and fulfilled the criteria asked of them.

I'd be fecking bitter too!!!

He should bear in mind if either Trinity or Cas fail to deliver or start a new stadium next year than Halifax still have a chance of coming up. Don’t burnt your bridges.

Teddies are out of the pram!

Bless him! Wakefield this, Wakefield that. It's about more than a nice ground, which we will have soon enough i'm sure!

I do feel sorry for Fax but we now have to prove people wrong and kick on like we said this time.

And we're the only ones not to have delivered are we???

It was judged on what was in the licence applications according to Richard Lewis and ours was stronger than theirs.

Well he has a point. It makes you wonder if the RFL will ever let Halifax back into the top division.

You've got 3 years to sort your act out. Your club was out for the count but you've been given a second chance. I think this is the beginning of a new era for the club as your board appear to have the right intentions and want to take the club forward.

The most sensible thing i've ever seen you post. Fully agree.

And it involved input from Savilles and KPMG so these independent professionals will have assessed finances and facilities which were the areas the Halifax Chairman clearly had a go at. I can understand him being disappointed but his comments were bang out of order.

The sad thing is that he's right

3 years ago Widnes not considered because they went into Administration. 3 years later this was ignored in Wakefields favour, you can see where halifax are coming from.

Hard news for Fax to take, but our application was stronger.

It should be borne in mind - they've emphasised several times that these licences can be withdrawn any time they choose, so if ourselves or Cas don't put our money where our mouths were, we'll be out and they could get the call.
