Quote="Chris B"No Vikings fan has suggested this. This is what the Halifax fans are saying to justify announcing an attendance that was over and above the actual number of people who attended. Paying or not.
As for sticking together. Halifax have not done that. Maybe that could be argued if Fev, Leigh and Batley all announced attendances that put them over the minimum attendance figure but they haven't.
I'm not sure [ianyone[/i will thank the Fax board. As I said in the post above, The RFL can now dismiss any complaints that the game is stagnating in the championship because Halifax have discredited this argument. Halifax have given the RFL an excuse to continue with franchising and to re-introduce the minimum attendance criteria next time around. Rather than sticking two fingers up they are dancing to the RFL's tune.
I genuinely don't have a problem with Halifax or their fans. I can only say again that I would rather a fairer system like P&R were back in place. I would be more happy now to see Barrow in the top flight and Salford or Celtic wallowing down here with us. At the same time I would be delighted to be watching the climax of this season with Leigh, Fax and Fev (realistically) battling it out for a chance to be promoted. The reason I would be happy for all this is that you would know that come February next year everyone would be playing for the same opportunity all over again.'"
