more like the average age at Halifax.

It's higher than that with Holly playing.

But it was mighty busy at the Shay today.

batley brought a hew fans, they are NRC winners afterall.

I'm sorry but the attitude of the Fax fans on their board have shown this for being the farce that it is...


At least when Salford were up to these tricks in 2008 their fans genuinely believed their attendance figures.

I don't know why anyone's bothered. Leave them to it. We'll be fine. There's threads on here praising our youth set up. There's threads on there forum wanting to sign Sheffield's overseas full back. That's the difference between us. They are way behind us.

Re: Attendance Criteria : Sun Aug 15, 2010 8:42 pm  

In my honest opinion, i dont believe it, i doubt most fax fans do either

i understand their might of been a nice crowd today, but to have a attendance that just puts them over the criteria, makes it hard to believe..

as for the fax board, Seems they are now trying to milk that they can "apply"

Either way.. I believe they are behind ourselves / TO / Leigh in the list for super league..

Re: Attendance Criteria : Sun Aug 15, 2010 8:59 pm  

I would believe the attendance if was say 3000 but not nearly 5000.Batley only took about 1800 max to the Rail final and in a normal league game i can not see more than 200 travelling.Batley average less than 1500 for home games so no chance over 4000 fax fans.On another thread on the fax board they mention money troubles.

Again, wouldn't surprise me!

Well if licensing is to continue then I sencerely hope that the RL drop this 2500 average to a more realistic level or scrap it altogether.What chance of any lower league club,and I include Widnes if we don't get a licence, attracting such figures with another 3 years of nothing to play for?

in a word none. just what the RFL want as then can protect SL clubs.

This franchise mullarkey is getting fans hating each other.I admit a sport is a joke without promotion and relegation.If we could spend what we wanted we would buy promotion.

not getting fans hateing each other, just friendly banter. most NL fans hate the RFL as see them for what they are.
its not as if any SL teams post the wrong attendances is it?
