I am quite envious about how you Fax fans must be feeling this week.

5 day working week will seem like a month, no negativity about the club in the build up, few pints on Friday to calm the nerves, getting the shirt washed and ironed on Sat, setting out the shirt on the bed Sun morning, bacon butty breakfast early doors Sunday. Butterflies going barmy, excitement at seeing yer mates in the pub for an early start, CAR FLAGS!!!, trip down on the coach, meeting and greeting fellow fans at the stadium like never before.

The roar when yer team comes out for the warm up ( be the to experience that )

I remember it like it was yesterday, enjoy the day out Fax fans, and sing yer heads off ( Coz the flossies won't !!!!!! all the best )

Oh and being extra nice to wife/girlfriend/boyfriend etc

Thanks for that.

yeah thats quality!

has been a long time waiting.....today has seemed like a week..am exited now. god only knoows what fri come fin work!

might have to change my name to 'wereutherein09'



no matter what the score, back in Fax Sunday night for an extended session. Monday booked off work.

May have to do the same with uni

Nice post, respect

Read that post has made me so excited - quality

Top Post, and the mention of a Five day working week has made me happier as i'm only doing 3 this week and one of them is already done, And i'll be off til next weds

Preston does seem like a million miles away from the buzz that must be happening back in Halifax at the moment!

I just can't imagine living in Preston man !!!

Preston must feel like a million miles from civilization?

Good post matey

Not much cup final excitement in Derbyshire at present so getting up there on sunday and being around fellow Fax fans will be a blessing

I remember staying behind and watching the Whitehaven -v- Leigh match after we beat York in the 2004 play off. If I recall, Tommy Martyn snatched it 11-10 with a drop goal. I remember thinking at the time what a great atmos it was, and .... despite us being in the same division ... how much better drilled Leigh and Whitehaven were than ourselves. Ironically, despite my euphoria of survival, I was finally convinced Faz's days were numbered ....

Oh the pain, it was norman Turley, 16-15 up with 1min 50 secs to go and he does what he does best.
extra time was 1 wau traffic, but the thoughts going through my mind when we went 16-10 up with 9 to go will live forever, despite the fianl score.
Leigh were better team all season and deserved the Victory ( there I have said it doctor

)

Doubtful



Niel perhaps

Niel Turley drop goal to level with just over a minute to spare

Then we blew them away in extra time

Probably the best , tense'st final for many years before and since , with possibly the 2000 final between Dewsbury and Leigh on a par with it as the scores level with 2 minutes to go and Richard Agar kicking a last minute drop goal to win it

If we had won that one we might possibly have had a few more years in SL as the club was on an upward path at that time

Deffo a top post....

Hands up if you think that I may not see my 9.15 lecture on monday morning...

Cheers mate, thanks for the positive comments.

Just another envious Haven fan posting bollox !!!

You should be ashamed of yourself if you are a Cumbrian. 1 thing I admire about Fax is that they are going to be shouting for Keighley...........Simply because they are from Yorkshire !

Crawl back underneath the bitter & twisted place you came from !

If it was a wigan or Dewsbury fan would you care?

It was a good positive post for Fax fans and you, you plonker come and try hijack and ruin it.. again.. Get over yourself and bog off

Shouldn't you be back on the Wigan board begging for fans backing?


There not Cumbrian are they?

I agree that it is a very good post IF IT HAD COME FROM A YORKSHIREMAN !!

See, had Haven been in the final I would be supporting them over you because they are Cumbrian. There are some cracking Haven supposrters who I am sure will be wishing us all the best. I would think most supporters from Yorkshire are willing you to win which is what I would expect...........Not coming on Barrow's board with rallying calls. I am not trying to hijack anything and as for getting over yourself, you wanna give the same message to your Coach who midway through the season did every other coaches team talk for them with his ridiculous statement !


I actually admire how much you Yorkshire lot support each other, simply because of boundries on a map.

A fair few of their supporters are Cumbrian

ah you say that now.

things might change if it actually happened or if haven beat you in the play offs one year.
