Halifax RLFC: Supporters put their shirts on Fax
Members of the newly formed ‘VP19’ club will each receive a 2017 reserve grade playing shirt, branded or personalised with whatever they wish, and will have the shirt signed, framed and presented to them at the end of the season.
“Whether it’s their name, business, their favourite charity or even a picture of their dog, it’s up to the supporter what they have on that shirt”, said commercial director, Chris Murgatroyd.

Siddal sharpen their skills with Fax first team
