apologies as i dont understand what you mean by this ? what i mean is simple, haliax rlfc should not be supporting rugby union clubs and in particular this club by taking their games to their grounds and swelling their coffers over the bar !

Even in the 21st Century there are many dinoraurs in union who still vue Rugby League as a troublesome illegitemate child

your absolutely right in what you say RL needs to look after RL.

But Surely its against the laws of the land for the RFU to behave in this manner as far as grants are concerned as the O/P has suggested?.
Does the O/P know for fact that any of the grounds available on the day of the game meet rfl standards for under 23 games?.
Sorry but this sounds like a bitter rant similar to what iv'e come out with once or twice lol.

Are they supporting this club or are they just playing a match on one of ther pitches?.

It must be my naivaty but if your post is right then ignore my other posts.
it really is ridiculous that people can still try to justify this behaviour in this day and age.

by playing the game at their ground and drinking in the bar is supporting this club.............just like every amateur rugby league club who has a bar of its own.........selling beer etc is its the biggest income stream...........!!

hence the reason why taking the game there is wrong and urge you not to swell their coffers by drinking in their bar !......................

Believe me The Old Crossleyans is Halifax's very own Jurasic Park. I have had first hand expeirience of it when my sons played for King Cross there

There will come a time when you all need to stop behaving and thinking like this.

honestly mate not long ago leigh east were not far off being evicted from the LSV because of money and one of the first clubs to come forward and offer there facillities was leigh rugby union club.In leigh they get classed as posh lol.

Hey, the Old Crocs aren't the only ones who've pulled this type of stunt, the Halifax Vandals did a similar thing about three or four years ago with Sowerby Bridge Rangers juniors. I'm not going to go into the why's or why not's on a public internet forum and I know a lot of the facts surrounding both of these events, having been involved with the junior rugby league sides running out of the RU clubs. I know that through my involvement with the Calderdale service area ( the district representative organisation ) that the Old Brods has also been used in recent seasons for training facilities and also used by Halifax RLFC for the same purpose, as well as the Halifax & district rugby league committee to host local amateur cup finals as well as Old Rishy's at Copley, Heath RU club is currently being used by one of the local high schools within our district to play school matches, this high school is a sports academy BTW. Ovenden Park has also been used in recent seasons to host rugby league reserve fixtures.
In all honesty, I couldn't give a monkeys about what bitterness has gone on in the past, time has to move on and any club or organisation has to make the most of whatever resources they can. On this singular occassion I cannot see what harm it causes using Old Crocs, I intend being there for the game and that's it. Those posters & lurkers who know me personally will know that I very rarely used the bar facilities after watching my lad in his four seasons as a KXP open age player before he moved on to pastures new this season. If anyone wishes to know my reasons as to why I didn't use the bar it's simple, I didn't want to....
Amongst all this political tripe, I'm looking forward to seeing plenty of local young lads wearing the Halifax shirt with pride and playing their dreams out, hoping to move into a career with Halifax RLFC in future years. I wish them and the venture well, I know Martin Gonzales is a very astute student of rugby league and the club are fortunate to have him amongst their staff, give him a couple of years working with these lads and the club will reap the rewards.

honestly cannot believe how some ppl are willing to move on and forgot about what old crossleyans did. King Cross Park are the second largest amateur rugby league club in the area, and old crossleyans threw them out at short notice, to get rfu funding! Park youngsters now have to play at royles head. Tell me how many young kids want to travel up there on a cold wet winters morning. Not many! I cannot imagine how many players King cross park have lost from this digusting incident. And before someone tells me i do not know what i am talking about, i was one of the people turfed out.
