After you fantastic result against Castleford you have shown you can compete on the field and also off it with the amount of away support you took, we didnt take that many last season. What are you chances of getting a super league bid accepted in 2012 in comparison to the other front runners Widnes and Leigh?
I personally would love to see Halifax back in we had some great games against you, it would be much like Hull KR coming back into the top flight, your fans would flock back and you would also have a great away following, you also have IMO one of the best stadiums around, is it a good atmosphere? How many does it hold?
Dropkick Murphy..we actually saw and heard a mass of bouncing and scarf and flag waving to Dale Cavese that drowned out anything we could muster.. It stopped us singing our own celebratory songs, it died out seconds later when we accepted we couldn't be heard over the Wigan lot Celebrations muted from us, job done from them. Most fans who slag them off are jealous their own club's support is nowhere near that good - sally cinnamon..Why not discuss Wigan? It's a rugby league message board. Wigan are the most famous brand in rugby league - Tre Cool..Saints fans are hopeless unless it's a cup final or grand final. Wigan fans are so much more loyal and passionate - the flying biscuit..Wires havent been massively succesful over the years, but I've spoke to Brian Bevan And he spoke to me and i wouldnt swap that for Wigans History, ever - Ande..on the TV i could only hear the Wigan fans with about 10 to go - Saint94..Every team is in your feckin shadow, we all know - FIOS

The problem for Fax like all the other clubs is the support they took to Cas is the same as their current total home support
They like us and to a lesser extent Widnes need to get over 4,000 home paying fans attending all their home matches , until that point is reached none of us are viable SL candidates

SOMEBODY SAID that it couldn’t be done But he with a chuckle replied That “maybe it couldn’t,” but he would be one Who wouldn’t say so till he’d tried. So he buckled right in with the trace of a grin On his face. If he worried he hid it. He started to sing as he tackled the thing That couldn’t be done, and he did it!

I do'nt think we could average 6,500 in SL. Even less if they fetch more expansionest teams in.
Hope without planning is about as futile as waiting for a harvest without planting

Ditto Leigh , that is why I make the point of getting up to 4,000 in the Championship first , if you cannot reach that level of core support outside SL when you are winning 60/70 % of your matches you are not going to be able to retain enough in the early days of a SL campaign when you are going to be losing 60/70 % of your matches

Talking to one of the marketing guys at Cas. on Saturday. He stated that they were strugleing to break even in the hospitality suite, when CATS. CC. and HARLIWATSITS. come to town.

I think its about development and we are making progress. Would the people of Halifax get behind a super League club? Yes I think they would but then they need to prove it by turning up to games so we can get there.

Don't try and make out Super League is some exclusive and elite club. I felt embarrassed for Castleford on Saturday. A stranger walking into Wheldon Road would have been forgiven for thinking Castleford was anything BUT a "Super League" club ... with tacky pre match and half time "entertainment", a crap 19th century stadium, and barely 4,500 "hardcore fans" who turned up. Not looking for a sparring match with the Cas fans, just telling it as I see it. And that goes for several other clubs in Super League. Joke? You bet it is.
