Is it just me who has noticed that all things on the 'SL' front have gone strangley quiet?!

i have heard afew rumours about a certain Money man coming back on board as im sure alot of you have.

so are we in 'SL' ?! or not

Blame it on the overkill. RLFans is going to collapse with so many people logging on later this month.

I was listening to the warrington match on the radio on friday and before the kick off there was some interview with someone something to do with the rfl. He said that 2 clubs would be going down from SL. Now i will beleive it when i see it but i got texts of my mates who were listening to the same thing and commented to me that if its true then fax up.

Confidence is going over the 50/50 mark now

I am not sure wether we will get in or not but I intend to concentrate on just trying to help the Club be the best in the championship . Starting with the crowd which should be the main objective.

I have a sneaky feeling, a major issue outside of Halifax RLFC's control is going to hamper our chances. Not going into detail, but I think we know what! Especially with government cuts. I hope the faxbuilder/investor can start a new fundraiser & pretty damn quick! www.wikihow.com/Make-Concrete

You can't come out with something like that without saying what you think it is !!.

I'm guessing its something to do with the stadium then.

I think he means the Fev issue?

Unless i've completely missed something?

WHy would there be a link to concrete and then arena websites, which has now been taken off ?.
I'm guessing its the north stand thats the issue.

Well. Wakey & Cas have put enough spin & promises regarding their grounds. Lets hope our spin holds up the best with the RFL chiefs.

I just find the "silence" from CMBC and HRLFC on this matter is giving me grave concerns.

Oh fair enough then, i didn't see them..

I wouldn't worry, we are super league. we are super league.

When is the official announcement?

26th July

As I understand it, the problem with the North Stand is that the crush barriers, instead of being set into the concrete terracing, are bolted to the risers and have subsequently worked loose. I also seem to remember that the cost of resolving this issue was around the 40 grand mark. Can anyone confirm / dispute this?

If this is the case it would be peanuts to resolve should we be accepted into SL.

People have continually asked when they ( CMBC ) are going to sort it but, to be fair, it has not been high on the priorities list as neither Fax or FCHT are currently anywhere near requiring the additional capacity.

I've heard rumours from a number of people all pointing towards the decsion being possitive for HRLFC.

I cannot see the issue with the north stand being a major problem with our application, as im sure that part of our bid is more than up to scratch compared to Cas, wakey and the like. Especially after Hudds cheif ex and players commenting, and saying how brilliant the facilities and playing suraface at the Shay now are. W have proved we can hold top level rugby.

let it happen

Part Quote. "Especially after Hudds cheif ex and players commenting, and saying how brilliant the facilities and playing suraface at the Shay now are. W have proved we can hold top level rugby."

Also the fact that the Giants were given the green light by the RFL to play their games at the Shay and Sky have had couple of them screened live must say that the ground, facilities etc are of an exceptable standard for SL.

EXACTLY.

we have already ticked the box for the stadium and facilities anyway. so i cant see this been an issue.

if and it is 'if' we have an interested party with deep pockets, i can see us been given the go ahead. we would bring just as much if not more to SL than alot of current members.

It's be plans for full youth set up ready to roll that could be a deciding spot tbh.

Let's be honest due to location Quins, Salford & Cru are safe. Say Wakey already gone leaves you up against Cas who will be hoping full new stadium plans signed off immanently. Would the RFL lose a full time fully functioning youth set up if not at least replaced by another? Never mind they are a top 8 side.

Personally I'd pump for you ahead if Salford perhaps but their 'Manchester' lovation and finally new ground will see them safe.

I think that if we get the Nod then it would be a great opportunity for Brian Noble to recruit and get back into SL as a coach, perhaps that is why he is still with us and will be until at least end of July.
If i were in his position thats what i would be doing for sure. He would surely be given first refusal.

17 July NR cup winners, thats 3 lots of silverware in 2 years, Northern Rail Nines, 2010 Champions and NRC champions,

26th July - We are SL
27th July - Noble is FT coach. ( not disrespecting Matt Calland but he has a full time job )

There are a couple of things that put some doubt in my mind and one of them goes back to the day Widnes were given the nod and as far as I'm concerned and a lot of others on here said fair enough.

What i can still clearly remember when Richard Lewis was talking about their appointment he was absolutely beaming from cheek to cheek with enthusiasm about Widnes, his smile was that wide he looked like he had gone to bed with a coat hanger in his mouth.

When the interviewer mentioned Halifax and the fact that they had also ticked the boxes and met all the criteria it was like turning the light off, the smile quickly dissapeared and the very formal rhetoric speech took over, no enthusiasm, no big raps, it looked like he had just been told he only had 2 weeks to live, the body language said we have no chance.
Not long to wait so here's hoping.

In all fairness, that press conference was about Widnes. Although we were mentioned, it was their moment in the limelight and their moment to celebrate.

i just have a feeling something is going on and it may well rock the boat

On yesterdays GMR phone in a Widnes fan texted in that he would prefer to remain in the Championship , maybe worried about what the future might bring , you should always be careful what you wish for , anybody remember Roald Dahls ' The Monkeys Paw '

One day i'll wish upon a star and wake up when starbugs far behind me..........
Where theres no trouble from the idiots, and crowds are clapping going nuts -.......
Thats where you'll find Meeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee......

Don't worry just the odd cretin that probably heard we had a below par performance (yet won) just decides talking crap about our prospects time was back again!
