Get siddal on a good day and it’s beautiful up on the tops as I did on my last visit , which was cut dramatically short when my grandson broke his wrist in the opening exchanges and we spent the rest of the day into the evening at Halifax royal . But boy it’s open to the elements and I bet bleak when the weather turns , I’d like to think of it more like character building for those brave fans making the pilgrimage up onto the tops than anything else , and a once in a lifetime opportunity to see a very great amateur club, who have churned out plenty of super league players in their time , even Shirley Crabtree who then went on to be famous as Big Daddy in the wrestling ring

I will definitely be getting layered up then. Big coat at the ready!

You’ll definitely need it if the weather turns nasty

Just one vowel short of having the perfect name for a referee
"Are you Blind referee?"
"No I'm Bland"

I thought you were dropping an ‘e’ in after the B

Yes Ketty they are a good club and like you say have had good players go to good SL clubs in Warrington, Wigan, Leeds , but in the past they have had the pleasure of cherry picking players of other clubs to form super teams, suppose that they must be doing something right to be able to do so. By the way, did you put your tooth under the pillow

Siddal have sold out their own 1000 ticket allocation and are taking names from the locals to mop up any tickets we return.

Wow 1500 round that pitch some people really have wasted there money

If the home fans get there first Wakey fans won't see anything.

So, I will most likely be frozen solid and not get to see much of the actual game?
Can't wait.

Had someone ask if this is being streamed? I don't think it has been announced has it?

Sorry but siddal should have been made to move the match to a professional stadium more in keeping with today's requirements- public safety - player safety etc
Poor call imo and if that's the standard the RFL work to they need to come into the 21st century.
Tend to agree had it been Leeds or Saints would have been switched!

So all the home fans are 6 foot plus? That's some gene pool up there in the hilltop village. Yorkshire's own Maasai tribe.

It is what it is now. A few people need to dry the tears and move on.

No choice but to take it as it is but I hope away supporters don't complain about the view from the west terrace at BV again because at least its not a flat field icon_biggrin.gif
