What on earth has it got to do with MPs?!?

They want to win some votes in Halifax for the upcoming local elections?

What do MPs have to do with local elections?



Jesus, you people vote for the morons and you have no idea how it works. No wonder we end up with Emmanuel Kant's like Brown in charge.

Not how I meant it, I meant with getting people to like the labour party in the area with local elections coming up. Whether you like it or not a lot of people dont look beyond the party on the voting slip and they know this so anything to grab votes is good in their view.

Nice one, about time we got back to the shay and sampled some timothy taylors ale....gerrum back in the big time.

worst idea ever!

apart from anything else we do need another west yorkshire club

Two words - Shears Inn

why we have a better ground than wakey and cas kick them out then.



we wont get in in 3 years either.

No we bloody don't! There are way too many of them in Superleague as is. I was hoping Whitehaven and Widnes would be up there dominating the Championship this season. A Cumbrian club in on the next round would be good. Along with Widnes, obviously!

But you're sh[ii[/it

They were good in 87' though!

If the cas and wakey grounds come to nothing and Bradford decline to nothing, then in 3 yrs it could be 3 out 1 in from W.Yorks!

Wakefield, Quins and Salford really don't deserve a spot ahead of Fax.

They are never going to give up with London, its like Huddersfield, a must have club

They won't have a choice soon. They are going to go bust again soon and they won't have another fool willing to back them with gates of 2,000.

What do you think this weekend will fund

Scottish Rugby Union largely.

The RFL hope to make around £1million i think

From a sporting point of view, the fact that they have a successful team is a more compelling argument than the decent stadium one.



This debate will go on for ever. Imagine how we would feel if we were the stand out best team in a second tier league with no promotion.

They are the stand out best team at the moment. That could all change by the end of the season. They might have lost tonight had Featherstone not been so determined to give them piggybacks during the first half.

It's a rugby town is 'Fax.



They used to have some decent attendances at Thrum Hall and some decent players too.'



Anyone remember that big ugly forward Geoff Robinson ? Cracking running forward he was, oh and they had Wombat.

bring halifax back

Spot on. We've won seven matches. There's thirteen left and then some. Listening to some people on these forums, we're sat in the communal bath sipping champagne (well, Blue Nun at least), smoking cigars and already singing "we are Super league" ! There's two years of hard graft on and off the pitch before there's a hope in hell of the RFL even opening the envelope containing our application. That said - it is champagne stuff - at the moment. It's like watching St Helens and long may it last.





Up the Fax and see you all in the CC Quarter Finals at KR

Well not quite like watching St Helens ,Halifax are a winning team.
