Widnes v Halifax - 4,039


Great support and decent atmos for a change !!


Salford v Wakefield - 3,113

How Salford can run a SL franchise with this sort of attendance is amazing

THE RFLiars should just hold their hands up and admit they were wrong not to put us in. Salford will never 'tap into' the Manchester market.

As a Halifax fan I can only say that I agree with you 100%. Stadium, fan base etc etc etc. All superior to Salford and Celtic.

But there is nothing you can do about it now, you have already ticked one box for the next franchise bid, you just need to continue doing what you are doing and you should be a shoe in for 2012

A couple of people at Salford laughed at our SL bid because of financial mis-management and then had the gall to say,look what we can offer,iconic stadium and crowd potential from the huge Salford/Manchester conurbation.They ought to be ashamed.

Aye but the application process seemed to be all about hot air and promises.. Our financial history made the decision not to allow us in all the more easier.

I always felt more upset that Salford got in ahead of us, rather than Celtic.

Didn't see any of these threads when you were pulling in 2500 earlier in the season? It seems you have got more glory hunters than us. Well done.

Snap - totally agree. I said that at the time, I can still see why they wanted Celtic in, but Salford brought nothing to the table in my opinion and everyone knew their stadium wouldn't be bulid for ages, if at all. Salford should have been told 'build your stadium and your in in 2012'.

You don't have supporters glory or otherwise.

2,500 isn't a figure far off what you're getting now. Imagine what we'd be getting if we were in super league. You're rubbish.
