What sort of facilities are the club looking for as I would have thought there are quite a few places that might be able to be used?

Pitches with floodlights? Surely there is an amateur team in calderdale that might want to make a few extra quid here and there letting the club use their facilities?

Or such as hipperholme and lightcliffe high school and the 3G pitch down there that we at Whitehall use?


How about in Huddersfield there is Leeds road playing fields? Loads of pitches down there and even and indoor 3G pitch that can be used? I know the bulls, wakey, and hull kr have used it in previous weeks along with the giants.

The Zone at Hudds is a bit smaller but as 2 3G pitches that could be used albeit no ideal..

If it is gyms then hopefully the new deal with fitness first may go somewhere to help..

Not knowing what the club are looking for it is hard to comment I guess but hopefully with the lighter nights drawing closer and warmer, dryer grounds start to arrive things maybe easier for the club.

We can then start to see if the quality of the coaching sessions improves.........

Its absolute tosh isnt it, i can book excellent facilities whenever i want for me and my mates, i can even block book, they are slow to act, I know plenty who use the barn and zone in hudds, theres plenty of great school facilities about too, and a bleeding running track 100 yards from the ground. Its absolutely pathetic.
What a joke we are..

Don't forget Leigh were still training on their 3G pitch when everyone was sat around for 4 weeks picking their noses.

What gets me is we're hearing time and again players saying 'We're not sticking to the game plan that we've been given.' Which makes me wonder which players (if any) think they know better than the coach? The lack of respect for possession has been our downfall from the back end of last season.

Yet another one of the long line of excuses we have been getting lately. Can't e anything to do with his own coaching methods or lack of could it? icon_rolleyes.gif

I think the problem is that local facilities get booked up months in advance for regular five a side leagues etc, but Fax need to change their schedule depending on when the game is. Talking to a player I know they sometimes turn up for field training to find the pitch is frozen or waterlogged, so they do gym work instead. If they were full time wouldn't be a problem, loads of availability during the day just not at peak times. Also, as a former player, I know astroturf surfaces are no good for impact work and can give you knee and ankle injuries

Should he be teaching the players how to catch a ball from kick off? Should he instruct Benny on how not to drop a ball on the way to the try line? Sure thing - he's responsible for much of the play/style of play and a lot of criticism can be levelled at him over the last few games but he can't be held responsible for brain farts and freaky accidents.

Defensive system or lack of it for his whole reign? Just because we are fantastic in attack dosnt mean that we dont have to defend. Teams run through us down the heart of our defence and have done for a long time, me thinks he may need to adapt his system.

True, one offs happen in games in the heat of the moment and I understand that. However to continually take the wrong option for 80mins both in attack and defense is down to the coach. Watching players stick an arm out at an attempt at a tackle, throwing a stupid ball to be intercepted in your own half, pushing the ball when there is no need, lack of ability at not being able to play basic possession rugby, need I go on. These things and much more have been evident for over 12 months and Calland has FAILED to correct them. We were guilty of this and much more for much of last season and we're still seeing the same brainless rugby decisions being taken -Surely he has had chance to coach it out of them by now?

Soon went off topic again, eh? There is a big enough thread to rant about MC already; go do it there, please.


I believe the club tried to get some local facilities, but these were asking stupid money for their use. As for the 3G surfaces, I hear that one player won't train on them for one reason or another.

Whats wrong with facilities at Greetland for example? Surely arrangements could be made to use a facility with floodlights and help amateur Rugby League in the area. Halifax has always not been blessed with good Sporting Facilities. Part of that is the Council. Part of it is the failure to some degree of amateur sports clubs not properly investing in decent facilities- Floodlights, Weights Room etc. Compared to Germany for example Sporting Facilities in the UK are very poor.

It is true we still lack at least one full size all weather pitch in the whole of Calderdale, even Keighley have at least one which Calderdale clubs have had to travel to, ridiculous.
But the club also need to get something sorted and soon. What about the Yorkshire Water land on Stainland Road next to the bridge going towards West Vale?
I would help get it sorted out I am sure others would too, maybe worth a try ask YW???
