| I remember staying behind and watching the Whitehaven -v- Leigh match after we beat York in the 2004 play off. If I recall, Tommy Martyn snatched it 11-10 with a drop goal. I remember thinking at the time what a great atmos it was, and .... despite us being in the same division ... how much better drilled Leigh and Whitehaven were than ourselves. Ironically, despite my euphoria of survival, I was finally convinced Faz's days were numbered ....

Oh the pain, it was norman Turley, 16-15 up with 1min 50 secs to go and he does what he does best.
extra time was 1 wau traffic, but the thoughts going through my mind when we went 16-10 up with 9 to go will live forever, despite the fianl score.
Leigh were better team all season and deserved the Victory ( there I have said it doctor  )

Niel Turley drop goal to level with just over a minute to spare
Then we blew them away in extra time
Probably the best , tense'st final for many years before and since , with possibly the 2000 final between Dewsbury and Leigh on a par with it as the scores level with 2 minutes to go and Richard Agar kicking a last minute drop goal to win it
If we had won that one we might possibly have had a few more years in SL as the club was on an upward path at that time

| Quote njg4haven="njg4haven"I am quite envious about how you Fax fans must be feeling this week.
5 day working week will seem like a month, no negativity about the club in the build up, few pints on Friday to calm the nerves, getting the shirt washed and ironed on Sat, setting out the shirt on the bed Sun morning, bacon butty breakfast early doors Sunday. Butterflies going barmy, excitement at seeing yer mates in the pub for an early start, CAR FLAGS!!!, trip down on the coach, meeting and greeting fellow fans at the stadium like never before.
The roar when yer team comes out for the warm up ( be the to experience that )
I remember it like it was yesterday, enjoy the day out Fax fans, and sing yer heads off ( Coz the flossies won't !!!!!! all the best )
Oh and being extra nice to wife/girlfriend/boyfriend etc'"
Cheers mate, thanks for the positive comments.

Just another envious Haven fan posting bollox !!!
You should be ashamed of yourself if you are a Cumbrian. 1 thing I admire about Fax is that they are going to be shouting for Keighley...........Simply because they are from Yorkshire !
Crawl back underneath the bitter & twisted place you came from !

I agree that it is a very good post IF IT HAD COME FROM A YORKSHIREMAN !!
See, had Haven been in the final I would be supporting them over you because they are Cumbrian. There are some cracking Haven supposrters who I am sure will be wishing us all the best. I would think most supporters from Yorkshire are willing you to win which is what I would expect...........Not coming on Barrow's board with rallying calls. I am not trying to hijack anything and as for getting over yourself, you wanna give the same message to your Coach who midway through the season did every other coaches team talk for them with his ridiculous statement !
I actually admire how much you Yorkshire lot support each other, simply because of boundries on a map.
