Quote: Pepe "We were only £30,000k short last time and we've had no freebies. Plus the charity funds have gone up and the shop is booming and selling all kinds of merchandise. Everywhere you go in Widnes these days you see branded Vikings merchandise. I think my contribution alone has gone some way to making up the extra £30,000k.

But crowds are down...all adds up. Well fingers crossed eh/

Less freebies. Everyone paying. Some games were free to all last season. It all adds up. icon_wink.gif

If not, we can just borrow your club's calculator. icon_smile.gif

We had offers on for the Toulouse and gateshead games (both 5,000+) and i think we had a free cup game or two as well.

I'd worry about competing against SL sides more than us as it's a no contest tbh!

I've taken some time to try and decide whether what Fax has done was a good or a bad thing. I admit that I did question whether it was all that bad when you consider the 'criteria' that was laid out. Are Fax simply playing the system?
However when you consider the fact that their chairman was the one that first mentioned this 2,500 figure some time ago and that they have done next to nothing, it would seem, to increase crowds then I think it is actually not too far off cheating.
There isn't too much of a pretence on the Fax board that the figure announced was way off the actual attendance. Is this then any less of a rule break than a salary cap infringement? I'm beginning to lean towards the side of it being no different.
Clubs break the salary cap to win an unfair advantage and that is what Fax have done. I did expect the same from Leigh but I have to hand it to them that they played fairly and announced that they were short even though the repercussions of that decision could be large.
The justification for this rule break is being given that Fax wanted to stick two fingers up at the RFL. I think the reality is very different from that and they have played right into their hands.
The RFL are now in a position to trumpet about the good crowds in the championship and swat away complaints of a stagnating competition under franchising.. the blame can be placed firmly at the door of Fax for otherwise achieving poor crowds. Next time around the RFL can place the same minimum criteria down under the 'pretence' that Fax have managed to achieve that figure once and so should be able to achieve it on a regular basis if they tried.
Yep... if you ask me Fax have played an absolute blinder icon_biggrin.gifOH: icon_biggrin.gifOH:

Could be right there Chris! For 2015 they may ask for 3,500 and say to Fax, well you massively beat that in a normal league game against Batley?

Listen laddo...
The majority of the doubt has come from the reaction of your own fans. I'm not saying that no-one would have bothered had they all come out and said that it was all kosher, but the vast majority didn't. On the thread on your own board there are enough little sarcastic winks and stories of tickets that were handed out and being counted even if the recipient didn't attend the game for there to be suspicion.
Like I said... this is tantamount to pretending you are going to be in a new stadium when you blatantly know you are not. There may well have been more than 3,500 (1,000 up on your normal crowd figures) but the doubt is that there were over 4,700 there and I reiterate that a large amount of doubt has come from your own fans who are happy that the club has 'cheated' the RFL.

Why would debating Halifax's fudging of crowd figures give him a coronary. I want to see how your remaining board members are going to fabricate the existence of a full youth set up.
