1895 cup semi final London vs Halifax : Wed Jul 19, 2023 3:03 pm  

This game for me is a 50-50 0ne with plenty of motivation for both sides with a day out at wembley in the final for the winner. If we play as we have done in the league of late then i can only see a London victory but if we can reproduce some of our cup form from this season then there is no reason why we will not win. Fingers crossed it is the latter and i will go for a fax win 12-28.

As Terry says an absolute 50/50 shot this. Who knows which Fax will turn up but it's definitely a winnable game. The team are going down on Friday which is a big plus, we just need to put in a basic solid start as we did against Newcastle and hope for a bit of luck on the day. It's a big prize for the club, let's hope they claim it. Unfortunately we're not going down so hopefully there is a pub streaming it somewhere. Up The Fax!

I see London as favs for this game, maybe 65/35 somewhere around there. Our record down there is awful and they have hit a bit of form, think they are the 2nd form team in the league at the moment. I think we are capable of winning it but I feel its unlikely at the moment.

The bookies are calling this very close, giving Fax 2 points start.

I reckon last Sunday has kick started Fax back. Landan 18 Fax 26.

I think we turn it on for this game and win , after the final whistle beaujangles sprints on to the pitch as a streaker with GRIX IN tattooed to his foreskin , the players and fans all jump into the old school baths together and all is forgiven.

Does anyone know if the 1895 finalists get any "prize" money? In fact I've no idea if there's any prize money for finishing in the top 6 either. In the old qualifiers system, there used to be a huge cash incentive hence why it was a disaster to miss out.

Not sure about the 1895 cup but at this years fax fans forum Stephen lambert jokingly said to Tom inman that his 40/20 for York in the playoffs semi finals cost us 40,000k

Crikey, we nearly had a Michael Olswick situation (not sure I've got his name right!) by selecting Crooks in Saturday's squad, having to withdraw him 'cos the RFL say he's cup-tied. Nice of them to tell us, otherwise we could have been disqualified just like before when a cup tie was postponed and had to be surrendered to Batley. I was just yards away from the Shay when I found out it was cancelled!

Strage one as Fleming played against us for Fev in the 1st round as well.
