Welcome to the NEW RLFANS.COM. After twenty-five years of service, the old site expired over the last few days. To maintain service we have had no option but to make an early switch to the new site which was in development/testing. Some elements of the new site are unfinished, such as; page numbering and quotations. We will fix these minor issues as soon as we can, please bear with us.

I am a Fax fan, i havent been this season, i went to pretty much all the home games last season. This is mainly down to now having to work Sunday's.
The whole point of Sport is you are playing for something, there is nothing to play for in Rugby League anymore, you cant go anywhere no matter what you do during the season. potential new fans just are not going to pay £10+ every other week to watch a pointless game of Rugby League no matter how entertaining the performances are!

Until the likes of Wood and Rimmer go and many changes are made about how the game is run then many will stay away and a number will slowly lose interest and join them. I dont really know what more a club like Fev, Leigh or Fax can do when we are constantly being held back and treated like dirt compared to French and expansion sides. The club has made many mistakes in the past and it has over the past couple of years tried to sort them out. Anything is worth trying in my book but I feel strongly that the way to bring the crowds back is out of the control of the club sadly.

I have watched Fax since 1967-man and boy- and just cannot see where the game is going to end up down the line under this current RFL governance and elitist regime. They are supposed to be responsible for the whole game, its development, and crowd development at all levels but whilst the super duper league farce brings in the crowds the teams below are paying for that with dwindling crowds into the hundreds for heartland and founder member clubs. Until supporters have the excitement of promotion and relegation then there is no point spending hard earned money to watch a nothing game(s). How can we expect the cumbrian clubs to survive travelling all the way to Northampton to play in front of a handfull of people? No amount of creative marketing will increase crowds with a template like that.Work all season to be at the top/win grand final/ end up with no reward in ahighr league-restraint of trade for a player wanting to better his career!Denial of supporters old and new following a successful team! |

You are correct, a winning team will increase crowds, problem is win too easy too often and people get bored, then when you lose, you lose the rest of the ones that starting coming because you were winning, it is your ' core ' support you need to increase, you do that by getting as many people as possible into the Shay as often as you can
What % of the population of Halifax have been in the Shay to watch you? , whatever it is , increase it |

This is what the club should do.
Put all its players and admin staff up for candidacy at local elections. Get a majority on the council. Offer 50% discount on Council Tax in exchange for attendance to at least 90% of home matches. Get these people hooked on Fax like the good old eighties. Then run up a massive council debt (well if it's good enough for Gordon Brown at National Level, where's the foul?) and then lose all the seats at the next election and hey ho, back to square one but with a feverishly hooked 30,000 core home support.
