why take the under 23s game to a rugby union ground ?

Quote: Halifax RLFC "Its disappointing to read some threads on this forum, indeed I have several times made a promise to myself that I wont any use this forum any more after this thread I'm making the same promise to myself once again!

For circumstances beyond the Club's control we could not play at the Shay this weekend and didnt know until it Thursday evening. . The reasons are explained elsewhere on this forum

To move our game to another pitch required two things; availability and a pitch which satisfied the RFL ground assessments. There was NO amateur RL club which was available AND which satisfied the RFL criteria. .this is a SATURDAY we are talking about after all

The only ground which WAS available AND satisfied the RFL criteria was the Old Crossleyans RU.

Believe you me, I wanted the Under 23's first home game to be at the Shay. . . anywhere else was not our choice, but having said that, the facilities offered by the Old Crossleyans and the welcome we were given was first class.

It's disappointing that every decision we make is second guessed often on this forum by supporters who more often than not do not have the facts to make the statements they do!
Thats it I'm gone. . . .

I Dont mean to be rude here Mike but after last years Challenge cup exit and northern rail cup exit due to not knowing we need a draw and playing Ostick i think you should keep coming on here, not to explain yourselves no, but to see what the fans are feeling and thinking. Emotions run high yes but that said in between the rubbish there is lots of sense on here. Communication is key to keeping the fans happy.
