Cheer up!! : Sun Jun 21, 2009 5:53 pm  

Ok so we lost today and i'm sure everyones gutted but lets look on the bright side of things. We are still having one of our best seasons in a long time. We are top of the league. We have a great squad of entertainers and a club on the up! Todays gone lets forget about it and get behind Matt and the boys to win the grand final starting with Gateshead next week. STILL PROUD TO BE A FAX FAN!!!

My prediction. Halifax v Barrow, Home in Play-offs, lose by a point
Then play Widnes at Home to qualify, tits up, bet the handicappers odds have changed after today

It'll do us good to get back under the radar

You not got bored yet ok you've gloated you beat us. So what ben made a mistake but he WILL make up for it and the differance is we don't get on our players backs we support them and pick them up unlike what viking man has to say about YOU and your own players!!

Come on jeffvickers i was saying exactly the same after the hooter but if we all think like that we may aswell give up now eh? Lets be positive otherwise we'll all stay down in the dumps.

Replace Barrow with Oldham and you've just written a rerun of our 2001 season

True mate BUt we need to learn after today, I do worry that maybe we peaked too early??
I hope not, something tells me there is more in this team yet, we will come back.
I think we are missing Matt James big time, he gave us a lot more in attack from the pack, Wrenchy and Larder try hard but they are not quick enough.

Had a few "twitches" in a very uncomfortable night's sleep, but, as already mentioned ... kay say rah say rah and all that, let's put it behind us and forget about it. We're getting better season on season .... NRC quarters last season, NRC semis this season ... climbing up the table .... a few hundred more coming to matches on a regular basis ... the stand getting finished ..... more stability with key players signing longer term contracts ... and strong rumours that some very good players are being lined up to strenghen the squad further.

Remember that this club was really in the gutter as recently as 4 years ago, and we've got to be patient in the building process. So ... looking forward to the next game ... up the Fax!

Here here Tony Fax. I echo these sentiments. Although I left the ground feeling a little bit deflated yesterday, I am still very upbeat about the state of our team. Everything is good news at the moment and long may it continue.
