Why don't they just merge with Halifax.

There is only a couple of miles between the grounds and obviously Giants fan doesn't mind going to The Shay.

When are Take That playing , my sister will want to go

But that's a load of tosh. Concerts and the like at sports venues are planned around likely fixture dates - hence why Rod Stewart is at Elland Road in summer, not winter. While the fixtures may not be in stone, Stadium Management have an idea of when matches will be arranged for the forthcoming football and rugby league seasons, so can plan around those, and request 'away' fixtures on dates when other events are planned.

Whats the problem - The Shay is up to the standard of both Castleford and Wakefield maybe even higher, so as I say Whats the problem.

Off top of my head, Bryan Adams, REM and Bon Jovi have all played there in the summer cos its warmer than the winter, no games were cancelled or re-arranged.

The whole point is the grass but you seem reluctant to take that in, it grows better in the summer hence its getting done now.

If it needed relaying with snow, it'd get done in the winter
