Go on then Nigel, I'll accept this if someone can explain how it is unsafe to have two games, when cardiac can have 4 in one day and Warrington can have 3 in one day???

Four sets of fans crossing eachothers paths is an accident waiting to happen itself

Nonsense

Yes I mean 14 in Cardiff turned into a riot!

Absolute bull doo doo's....

Cardiff puts on a Magic weekend where there were 14 sets of fans at any one time crossing around each other. Ask where the accidents happened....

This is just absolute madness. All it serves to do is lessen the potenial crowds at each game and thereby lessen the atmosphere. I would certainly have gone for the second half of the Sidall game and there would have most likely been some of the Widnes and Sidall fans stay for the Halifax game......

www.widnesvikings.co.uk/article.php?id=3934 Confirmed for 11:30! Sorry but this is beyond ridiculous! Only way playing at Shay was a good idea was for a double header but now they want to furthest travelling support to be in and ready for a half 11 KO! If Siddall have to pay rent they'll lose a shed load!

I would of happily hung round for an hour (putting money behind bar) waiting for the Halifax game as well. But 4 hours? Sounds like s huge opportunity missed.

When your East stand was completed there was plenty of talk of wanting to hold cup semi finals there and World Cup fixtures etc. Instances like this would only question the ability to hold such big events which is a shame for all concerned!

Council ' jobsworths ' , no wonder this country is up a creak in a leaky canoe

I'm also questioning the Council's committment.

Committment to local commercialism
Committment to commonsense

Halifax RLFC are merely pointing out the stupidity of the decision. It is a stupid decision Bubba. Stick to Wendyball Bubba - this needn't concern you and your response is EXACTLY as i would have predicted.

Couldn't of put it better myself

sounds like hunslet got a great council aswell,, not



A Hunslet supporters group has blasted Leeds City Council and launched a petition after their decision to charge the Hawks an additional £5,000 for use of the South Leeds Stadium.

The newly-promoted Hawks were handed a boost in pre-season when SKY announced it would televise their home game against Dewsbury on Thursday 31st March.

However, the news soon became bitter-sweet for the club when Leeds City Council increased the stadium rental for the evening by £5,000, the same amount the club would receive from SKY for allowing the game to be televised.

The Hunslet Independent Supporters Trust have now launched a petition to get the council to reverse its decision.


council's make ya sick,the pen pushers sit there and they aint got a clue

Whats shameful about it? Do you agree with the council?

I agree 100%.

I used to respect Bubba's opinions even if I didn't agree with them but I see that he has finally sunk to the level of his knuckle-dragging illiterate friends on the shaymen forum who constantly pour out their venom, half-truths, rumours and inaccuracies.

Neutrals often quote this hatred as a 2 way thing but:

1. How often do you see a comment in the Courier by a Fax fan against FCHT? Very, very rarely. The other way around? Constantly.

2. How often do you see a negative thread/comment on this forum about FCHT? Never! The other way around? Regular as clockwork.

This is a Rugby League forum and is confined, in the main, to discussion of "The Greatest Game" but a good number of Shay fans seem more interested in us and our game than their team and their game.

I honestly think that Siddal should now see about shifting the game to the Stobart and moving the Fax game back to 3PM as the kickoff times offered by Calderdale Council are clearly unacceptable and they would get a much bigger crowd for the Siddal game at Widnes. Well done Calderdale, more lost income.

After all the money spent on the Shay you would think that they would cash in on any opportunity to recoup some of it but no, not Calderdale.
