Wasn't there some discussions about a group of fans setting up another club earlier this season? I think they managed to create a Twitter account and everything?!

Pretty sure that was a fax fan on the wind up.

Why dont your club get their own finances in order stop asking players to take pay cuts and start paying rent on your ground like the football team have to do

I'm not going to repeat what HXSparky has said but if you are interested there is a small interview in the Halifax Courier with Mr Croad. He does say the club made a small profit last season and gives a general explanation of what and why the club have done to steady the club. If you don't want to read it fine. As everyone says we don't want to see Bradford go the wall but it may just happen this time. Hope not

I can absolutely guarantee that was Halifax fans (plus Rod Studd) on the wind up.

This thread isn't about Fax or anyone else so can we try and stop the thread drift. If you want to discuss Fax they have their own board where you can do it.

Thanks

We were only putting a few misquoted things about our club which your fans brought up and also giving you support. Looks like don't want any genuine support. I shall now Facck off. A true credit to the Bulls. Bye.

It's Bulls posters that have dragged other clubs into the discussion. Both Faxlore and myself have wished you and your club well and hope you come through and still have a team to support next year. It's an open forum, and using four-letter words in response (deliberate mis-spelling doesn't excuse you), is a tad childish.

Re: Administration Again : Tue Nov 15, 2016 5:48 pm  

The problem is, we all know too much about this process now.
If a pre-pack was set up, it's gone on more than 24hours, which makes it unlikely.
Which then leads us into administration proper, investors putting their case via the media, creditors, secured, unsecured, punishment - 6 points (option A) 12 points (option B), secret option C - entirely made up by the RFL depending on what Nige had for breakfast, 2years of academy work (what looked like our best medium/long term hope) probably down the drain etc, etc.
And like many, I really can't be bothered with it this time.

Errm, the pay cuts were required to do exactly that - to help get the clubs' finances in order. We've lost one of our best players as a result. On the rent point, there have been disagreements with the landlord (Calderdale Council), but it appears that these have been ironed out and there are no payments outstanding (I say "appears", 'cos I don't work for either the club or the Council). Fax certainly have money issues (as have most professional RL clubs), but why do you think they're still a part-time outfit despite the additional funding that the middle-8's brought last year?

I wish you and your club all the best, and hope you can work something out. If the worst does happen (expulsion or relegation), then I also hope that some sort of deal can be brokered for the Bulls faithful that have invested in Season Tickets for next year.

Nice to see a reasonable fax fan. It was just his tone makes you get your back up. Fax are doing things to keep themselves in check. hope it all works out for you too
