So he's got the same record as Widnes? 2 finals one win, one loss?

On the final point I'll tell you in 36 days

That knock-on allowed them to apply for Super League. O'Connor must have Benny's portrait above his fireplace cos none of his own players are worthy that's for sure.

Mate i wont go to a curtain raiser for a fax game.

Latest twist.

Council say ground must be emptied between games. Siddal kick off 11.30, Fax kick off 5.30.

They're having a laugh. Will lose a lot of revenue from bars and food stalls. How many are gonna pay twice to come in?

That in effect means it isn't a double header Think I'm meant to be in Lancaster for the weekend so not looking good, especially for a 12 KO. I know in effect it's your ground but switching the games around would of brought more fans in.

If they do insist the ground must be empty can't see a big turn out from our end whatsoever as tbf the added bonus of watching another game at least for a bit was an added bonus. The rest defeats the point of the move IMO.

I remember last years ties only had an entry fee of £10, so as an incentive to to turn up for the both games, any Siddal/neutral/fax supporters who turn up in the morning could pay £15 on the gate which would also provide them with a Fax Ticket for the early evening game, £10 if no fax ticket.

The stewards/gatemen will need to be out of bed early. Will be a long day for them.

Hardly a double header the council are now saying siddal to ko at 1130 with the ground been totally emptied and fax fick off at 5 due to health and safety, WTF hardly gonna be a sell out is it, i think it would be in Siddals favour now to play at widnes

Stupid wouldn't cover that scenario! Quick glance at trains, only one would get you there before 11:30 and that's a ten past. Can't say taking public transport out of the equation is a good start!

What's the point? Thanks for building the stadium CC but you don't half make some daft decisions.

For stadium management - i wish we had a council like Castleford's. They allow the Tigers to get away with murder with that rickety old stadium.

So, it's two single headers. I suppose i could watch Siddal ease past the Mutants - nip home to me mam and dad's for some tea and scones, watch an episode of Columbo and then mosey on down to watch the Champions.

It wouldnt be in Siddals favour to play at Widnes because as somebody mentioned earlier, Siddal would have to pay the ground rent for the Stobart, about £4/5000.

Won't they have to pay to use The Shay anyway?

health n safety gone mad in calderdale at moment.

RIDICULOUS - ONE WORD...THE FAX ATT WILL TAKE A HIT NOW ASWELL.

PEOPLE WHO WILL WANT TO SUPPORT SIDDAL WONT PAY TWICE!!

Quote: tommy "[iWhat a load of old sh*t[/i '" www.halifaxrlfc.co.uk/article.php?id=3941 It appears the club are losing the dining facilities for this now. Well done Calderdale Clowncill !! If this is the case then siddal would be better off financially going over to widnes as there will be very little in the way of support. Also this is just silly, People will be wanting to go to both games and obviously beer will be flowing, All day sessions for some people me thinks and you know what happens when emotions and beer mix.
