Just stand back and answer a question honestly.

Is it that bad to admit you support the Eagles.

Come on admit it then we can get to the bottom of your problems.

Admit it ? That would suggest that no-one knows.

Right so you are an Eagle.

Is the real problem that Fax signed Rob Worrincy or the Sam Barlow affair or they knocked Eagles out of the play offs and actually your bitterness has nothing to do with franchising because that will end up making you double



and like talking to a

Hmmmm - the RFL agree with me but you don't.



I can live with that.

Of course that's what we have been missing the bit about the part of the criteria were the RFL have to agree with you.





Also you will still be upset forever for the reason that I said which has caused you to become.





Schadenfreude.



Look it up and keep letting it eat away at you.

Very good thread this, i quite enjoyed the start where halifax "should consider our legal options". Given the Sam Barlow-Sheffield farce last year, that was quite funny. But thats old hat now.



I actually sympathise a little with Fax on this one, under the terms of the RFL licence guidelines that they themselves laid out, your application beats Wakefield's hands down. Your solvent (just), have finally finished the stadium and have achieved on the pitch.



For me licencing is a good idea, but the RFL are not even sticking to their own rules regarding it. Thats the big problem here.

It isn't the time to ' act ' , it's the time to all sit down together and work out how we [ the clubs are going to improve the Championships [ both of them to the level that in future clubs cannot be refused a fair tilt at the top tier



Because I'm sure as hell the RFL aren't going to make it happen

I'm with you on this, the clubs need to work together on this.

I think in and among the comments made yesterday by Mr Steele there had been a few phone calls from concerned directors of other clubs that felt that they way Halifax had been treat was ominous for them as well so it could happen.

Serendipity, more like.

If they give me a ring I'll organise it

, seriously I will

Bitterness gnawing away again, gnaw, gnaw.



But.



Whatever you say, have you checked with the RFL to see if they agree with you.

The insolvency criteria was removed months ago, well before the applications were submitted. Performance on the pitch in the Championship is a criteria to be allowed to [iapply[/i for entry to SL, not one used to judge whether a club should be admitted. Facilities I'll give you.



Without seeing both applications I don't see how you can so confidently assert that one beat the other 'hands down'.
