and WHEN we win the league and the GF these scores will all change!


Winning the league means sod all though.

Even though fax have the best team in the division, reaching GF and the NRC final is something not on their CV.

I'll be honest, If Widnes clean up and win the GF, they are as good as in.

Fax need to reach the GF. They should do it, but we said that last year didn't we?

after reading all of the above there are some very good pointd from halifax and widnes fans.

although you do have a top ground to play in i feel that your ground is over what is needed and that ours when completed may not be as good as yours but still very caperble of hosting super league rugby especially when you compare it to cas and wakey and even salford we all know celtic wont be demoted anyway so it doesnt matter about there ground.

if we win the league for 2 out of the nxt 3 years or even all 3 which isnt beyond us with the base of the squad signed on for the next 2 years anyway.

although we do have to improve our crowdbase over the next couple of years but i think you will find we have had steady improvement all season and if we keep adding 100 or 200 fans on every home match then we can get the crowds up above 3,000 on a consistent basis instead of just against widnes.

although baring all of these things in mind i think we still dont have a chance in my opinion widnes will probably be chossen ahead of us and toulouse are probably a shoe in as well ahead of us just based on location alone.

looks like we could be stuck down in the championship for a while but i couldnt care less with the rugby we are playing 8)

Good idea, a cunning plan methinks.
Will make it good for your players that, no fans.

There are toilets under the South Stand, you must have missed them there are plenty.
There are some gents toilets for the Skircoat Stand (West Stand) I am not sure about ladies, there may be some not sure not a woman.
The North Stand will have toilets under the end of the new East stand I believe. Currently they put temporary toilets and there is a mobile food outlet, it was there when you used the North stand or didn't you come to that game?
When they use the North Stand, I guess they will do the same for a food outlet or maybe again use the end of the East Stand.
You are wrong my friend.

Funny, I go back to the seventies and eighties and despite you having one of the best clubs then we used to say the same about you.
You at Headingley for the Cup semi Final in 1987?
No as there were not many Widnes fans there either.
What goes around comes around, we have nearly as good away support as you if not better at some grounds.
Sod off pal.

1 - We've won the NRC. I'd say that the players don't really need to do that much for the next two years now.

2 - I'm sure your players will do themselves proud despite a lack of an away following on Friday. :wink:

It was a tongue-in-cheek comment by the way. Not particularly serious, though in theory it would work in our favour. It's just the sad state of RL in the present day.
