Bulls are same points as Sheffield and only 2 ahead of Fev............strictly middle group I would say.

Charlie, I've told you before. We accept the pitch dragged us down to your level. Not long now until May and see Fax on your wonderful pitch. Up The Fax!

Sportsman, shudds. Mallinsons Cascade. 4.1 % Mmm!

Faxcar ,it's been a very long time since I last agreed 100% with a post ,but you make some very true and valid points to which I must applaud you .

As you say Leigh not long ago where on their ar#@s the players didn't know if they would get paid ,and the crowds were down ,then a Group of Businessmen gathered together and the rest is History.

Again I agree with your statement about Leigh concentrating on the lower tier teams in SL ,they are the level we must be looking to achieve,what has been done at Leigh can be done at Fax you now have a very good Coach ,and group of Die Hard fans , I sincerely hope you too get success.As for myself?My health is not the best I had tests last week after my Pre - Op and hopefully I will be called in after Easter now ,for Surgery giving me the Summer to recover, thank you for thoughts .Charlie.

I think we should compensate Leigh for having to play on a soggy pitch. We apologise profusely for dragging the mighty Leigh down to our level for 80 minutes. I bet they had a good wash when they got back to that golden little hamlet in Wigan.

We won't compete with Leigh or the Bulls, yet, but we will be no where near relegation.
I have never placed a bet in my life but today I will make an exception.
A bag of chips says I'm right.

Pete my friend always good to read your Words of Wisdom



hope you are well?You are right about not being long till May, hope you enjoyed the trip to London?I must say I was surprised at the result,I'm looking forward to Leigh's trip to the Hive in June ,it's my 30th Wedding Anniversary and we are staying for a couple of nights,booked into a Show ,and will try a trip to the Hippodrome Casino ,it's a born Romantic



I probably get that from copying you

,I will be cheering the Mighty Fax on in spirit on Friday ,hoping you beat the Bulls, Good Luck.Charlie.

Thanks Charlie. I personally hope you get d by Hunslet

That said, I wish you and your family a smashing Easter. Do they sell minestrone favoured eggs?

Have a good do Charlie. I found some cheap....ish digs and bought Diane a breakfast in't Wetherspoons.

No expense spared when I'm splashing out!

Cmon John,NEVER placed a bet in your life

what about my buckshee Meal in the Wren?Our Bet after the Fax V Fev game



Thank you Rich for your kind words ,I never expect anything but good wishes from you,I'm not expecting an easy game at Hunslet as it's a very narrow pitch which won't suit our expansive game,I'm taking my mate Andy Gregory again ,hes now an adopted Leyther my prediction Leigh by 28 .Again thank you for the Easter wishes ,I'm love a bit of Banter as you know ,all these nice words from Fax fans ,I'm will be wearing a Blue and White Bowler Hat next.By the way Rich look at the Fax Fantasy League table

shows Charlie does know a little bit.

Forgot about that one Charlie, a bag of crisps is yours in May.

I model myself on you Pete an owd Romantic ,anyway as I will be Mine Host for the Fax trip to the LSV ,I will treat both Diane and your good self to a drink of your choice and will include Bentleyman,Halifaxjohn, and I suppose Salfordlad in this.

This league is so competitive i think number one priority is to stay in it , which I think we will.It looks like upper mid table to me with Leigh and the Bulls carrying the Championship flag into making an impression the middle 8. The club and its supporters need to stick together and just let the BOD do their bit and RM do his with player recruitment of his own. Once things have settled I am sure those close games that got away from us this season will turn around and we will be up there competing. Just not this season I'm afraid. I sincerely hope I am proved wrong of course!( PS Keep smiling Charlie)

Charlie - will Hunslet be playing their DR's do you know?

Spot on. I think this league could become more exciting than SL. So long as we are fairly competitive I'll be happy. This league will also be boosted if any of its members get promoted to SL. It will send a message out to would be investors that there is an achievable pathway to the top league.

I expect they will as Leeds have a big squad ,but I expect à comfy win at full time,yet never take owt for granted.

Interesting to see that Andy Gregory is a mate of Charlie's, I don't think he has ever mentioned that before on here!!! Well, maybe only a couple of hundred times ☺️

Andy is not a mate of Charlie's, I asked him that question at Fev and he informed me it was a dare and that he had never declined a challenge, no matter how painful.

My advice to Fax, set an ambitious budget to go FT and guarantee any shortfalls via equity from the board/shareholders.

What fantastic advice. Go for boom or bust!

A Clown has many friends , very few enemies as I try to please everyone,cmon the Fax .

Next season when the Halifax bank is back on board.

Reckon they'll stay the distance in first half but then tire for second.

My expectations of this season , with a new coach and the changes that this brings, was that 1,2 and 3 would be the fulltimers, with the 4th spot being fought out for by a few clubs, us being one. I guess, being in 5th at the moment is roughly where I expected, given that we also lost to Featherstone. I still see us improving as the season progresses, and may be able to pick off a game later in the season against the top ones, but to keep ahead of the chasing pack and the 4th spot is still a possibility.

Where I worry is for next season, if Sheffield and Featherstone are full time next season, along with London, and whoever is left in our league after the million pound game, we need to be working hard on getting together a full time squad in order to not be left lagging behind. I know this comes at a price and more financial input is needed to do this.

Ian, I think you might be right about that, Lloyds are pushing the "Halifax" as their flagship brand at the moment.
However, I wonder how big a sponsorship deal would be, they won't pay mega bucks for a patch on the shirt sleeves and would Reactive want to be taken of the front of the shirts?

Very impressed with your depth of knowledge Bubba, there is no debt with equity - soccer fan are you, lobotomy survivor?

Maurice, you have to forgive Bubba he is our pet Luddite, he is the giver who keeps giving,
