I think we've come off the subject here. My prediction is Fax 18 Barrow 26.
Barrow might show Fax why their top of the league!!!

the only reason you are top of the league is cause you have played a game more really though isnt it.

i admit you have done a fantastic job to be where you are in this league but at the end of the day lets look at the facts

we have played a game less
in the big games against the other top teams this season i.e widnes and barrow we have won every one of the them.

i admit you do deserve to be where you are in the league but lets hope its a good game of rugby on sunday the whether is decent and we can both play some exciting rugby league and show why we are first and second in the league.

good luck may the best team win.

The bonus point for losing by 12 or less could well work out to be crucial in the long run, whoever wins, needs to beat their main rivals by more than 12.

Des doesn't put as much money as people think into the club and certainly wouldn't be in a position to splash out the £200,000 required for the floodlights. Even if he offered, the I'd rather he spent the money on a decent team than have a cr@p team and good floodlights.

As for the bollox about 'earned through hard work', what do you think it has taken to get a club from NL2 mediocrity to top of the Championship? Des got involved in the club in 2006, so it's hardly been overnight success.

Again regarding Craven Park, the club could sell up and go into a council owned stadium (indeed one was planned for the new marina complex), but that would mean selling a massive asset. You only have to look at the recent history of Fax, Widnes, Oldham, Donny etc etc to see what happens to finances when you go into a groundshare or council/commitee-owned facility.

Anyway, despite most Fax fans on this forum seem to have absolutely no respect for our club or what we have achieved so far (we obviously don't deserve it), I am looking forward to Sunday's. game I just hope ref Hewer doesn't have too much bearing on the match.

Ok well thats me told, ive just been brain washed into thinking that Des was a Roman Abramvich of Rugby league and as for respect for your club goes, I really enjoyed our trip to Barrow and overnight stay and found the Barrow fans very good to get along with. looking foward to a good game on Sunday too.

Fax £3000 wage bill - Barrow Boys £8000 wage bill, cos they get paid "Top Dollar".

MOM - The one who gets paid most money, cos he's got to, cos paying top money produces top players dunnit?

Att - 1 person with ooodles and ooooodles of cash and 2300 commoners.

Aparantly asked Matt Calland and Martyn Hall for a move back or so we to fax but then he sorted his problems out at Barrow or so we thought.
