he must have forgot that they played in white for their home game against us which was agreed by both clubs and the RFL on the proviso that the clubs swap round in the reverse fixture

What was the reasoning behind swapping? I can sort of see why Cas would want to show off their away kit when it went on sale but what benefit was it to either team to swap in the reverse fixture?

One thing's for sure, it won't done Halifax's chances of a SL license any harm. The stadium looked great and gave us a preview of what could be in the future.'"
Obviously not up to date on where matches are being played like a few more Wigan fans on here. It has been in the fixtures lists all season that we would be playing our June matches at Halifax due to the Galpharm pitch being relayed. Did you know the Saints were playing at the Stobart stadium, or are you only interested in one team and don`t know what`s happening outside Wigan.??? |

I don't tend to visit the Huddersfield board much.
Playing home games at Halifax - what a great idea that is.  You hardly have any fans as it stands, without making some of them travel a whole ten miles to Halifax. Instead they should play 3-4 away games in June like we do. |

Dropkick Murphy..we actually saw and heard a mass of bouncing and scarf and flag waving to Dale Cavese that drowned out anything we could muster.. It stopped us singing our own celebratory songs, it died out seconds later when we accepted we couldn't be heard over the Wigan lot
Celebrations muted from us, job done from them. Most fans who slag them off are jealous their own club's support is nowhere near that good

sally cinnamon..Why not discuss Wigan? It's a rugby league message board. Wigan are the most famous brand in rugby league
-
Tre Cool..Saints fans are hopeless unless it's a cup final or grand final. Wigan fans are so much more loyal and passionate
-
the flying biscuit..Wires havent been massively succesful over the years, but I've spoke to Brian Bevan And he spoke to me and i wouldnt swap that for Wigans History, ever
-
Ande..on the TV i could only hear the Wigan fans with about 10 to go

I don't understand why they didn't do this? Surely this is far better from a business point of view and probably the team and staff.

Yes it has been discussed on the Giants board why we couldn't just play away games during this time akin to when Wigan pitch needed some major doings to it a few seasons back Wigan asked the Giants to swap their fixture which was kindly granted. But for some reason or other this didnt happen whether the club asked the RFL or not we don't know!

According the league express the RFL are to blame after one of their staff seems to has mis interpreted the information and the wrong info given to both teams

But why couldn't Huddersfield just send someone for their home kit. AA route finder shows Halifax to Huddersfield as 7.9 miles, 11 mins. Thats a phone call to Huudersfield to get the kit ready, a drive to pick it up, and a 22 min delay in kick off. If the error was realised say an hour before kick off, then it could have been resolved easily. Probiz, a new and major RL sponser, will not be happy.

Aren't Probiz the main sponsors of Cas anyway so wearing Fax's shirt made little difference.
Granted the minor shirt sponsors might be hacked off but the one paying the most £, the main sponsor, is one and the same and have got a shed load of additional publicity out of this so will probably be, privately at least, quite happy with what has happened. |

With no traffic and a clean run, yeah [imaybe[/i 11 mins. From personal experience I would have said 20 mins each way. |
