Its great to see a positive thread. And I really hope the 17 guys who are going to put a shirt on this thursday read it.
I think its worth everyone getting a reality check if they are spending time bagging the players. I, like many, have supported Fax for over 25 years, home and away. I was at Barrow last week and we were let down. Whats done is done. The last 20 years have sometimes not been easy. Trips to Nottingham City, Trafford Borough etc, going bust time and again blah blah blah but thats life and sport. We have had nothing to shout about. No final, with the exception of the Regal Trophy against Wigan in about 1991 when I believe we were in the 2nd divison and that bloody relegation game against York a couple of years back.
Well we are 80 minutes away from a final. The boys need to know why some supporters appear critical, we all want the same thing. The difference is that 17 people on Thursday can make it happen. Not Matt Calland, not Martin Hall, not the hundreds of other former Fax players and coaches who never made it to a final for the Club. Some of these guys will be playing for Fax for the last time if we lose and will therefore move on like all the other players we have seen. If we win they will be remembered as a part of something good. Not the team that lost 5 in a row and came 2nd in the league, the team who nearly beat Cas or the team that lost to Widnes in the NRC semi. With everyone behind them they can achieve something special.
Please please make it happen Fax. The squad this year are special. Remember what made you great at the start of the year and play how we all know you can.
COME ON FAX
