Sums up Halifax RLFC? : Sun Aug 17, 2014 6:04 pm  
I can't blame the club for trying to stir up enthusiasm for todays game but it backfired on us big time whilst Fev just got on with the job as they always seem to do, quiet achievers in lots of ways, for me today summed up what our club is, more spin than substance and at times it takes us fans for granted, even blaming us!
Yer we may not have the spending power of Leigh, Fev and whoever else people say have spent more than us this season but today was a bad day to be well off the pace and we were, so I have to ask why the club spend more time slagging off the opposition with 'they have spent more than us and they have bust the salary cap' and other stuff instead of just getting on with the job in hand?
FOCUS on us and let the rest sort itself out I say, stop blaming it on others playing the system, lets get back to basics and look at what we do eh? After todays effort we are STILL off the pace.

I get what you are saying here Fax` and I`m inclined to agree ,these last few weeks we have heard questions as to why fans have not been turning out in support and everyone had the question answered on the pitch today . They did not look to play with any heart or desire and to say the Club have marketed this game as their biggest in 20yrs or whatever did someone forget to tell the players ? Why oh why does this happen at our Club every time when we are asked to bring everyone and our grans down the fans turn up but the players don`t.
The players were all just too slow , need some speed about the team ,noone there to back up on the rare occasions we did break through many of them looking tired out too after only a few minutes .There was just no impetus or passion in the squad today and it`s the first time in a long time I`ve wished the match over.
No excuses today , the team were just not good unfortunatly and for all the people who turned up that we havn`t seen for weeks months and even years I`d like to thank them and hope they turn up again as we have played quite well for a few games .

According to sum clueless idiot (initials KH) on Radio Leeds, the players tried their hearts out today. That's why in 2003 I watched every game and today I lasted 36 mins before boredom and frustration drove me to bar where I chatted to 2 player sponsors and a diehard fans.

I love the sport and love the team but would rather watch paint dry than the poop I've had to put up this season

The club would have been foolish not to have promoted today's game and the revenue from today will have really helped the finances. I wish they would promote every home game in the same way and create the level of excitement that they did today.
Today the game didn't go our way but realistically there will always be one winner and one loser. We might might have missed out on the £250000 but we have to start building our revenues and today showed that we can do it

Unfortunately not, cos for the 36 mins I was on terracing those we'd attracted definitely weren't coming back for a while and in the bar we had our hardcore supporters saying similar. Then we've got a governing body that has to produce an explanation of next seasons structure for it's existing fans.

Never been so pished off and frustrated with everything about the club and game. Really sad thing is I'll be at Donny cheering us on & still continue for many years to come

Second best today in every respect.
Never looked like getting even near to a result and it tells us where we are, 3rd at best, having lost every game against the top two there's no argument.
I bet many of us aren't too surprised that we lost but I for one am surprised by the gap that still exist between the top two and us.
