PS
That is a ridiculous thing to suggest. By inferring that the franchise DOESN'T apply to Huddersfield, implies that certain teams do not have to be of a decent standard, when they are already of that standard set out by the RFL. Wakey fans do not help them/ourselves sometimes when trying to be defensive and paranoid about the RFL and the franchising issue.
If Hudds did not do outreach community work, or finished outside the 8 each year, or were in administration at some point, or were playing out of a poor stadium - then YES they would be under threat, as we are for TWO of those points. The point is that they DO decent community work, they do finish WELL inside the 8 each year, are financially stable and play at a good stadium, but have to continue that to retain a grade a or grade b status.

You'll find out if Sheffield pick up a free weekend on the LFA calendar, rlWakefield CRLrl played there last year, its a lot like Thornes Park Athletics Stadium with a great club house. |

My former team played there but on a different pitch, so I know what the venue is like. |

Not at all. My point is that Rugby League clubs that share football stadiums are treated as second rate. Do you honestly think that the owners would have done this in the middle of the football season and sent Hudds Town to play at Halifax for 3 fixtures. NO. |

Relaying the pitch in December/January probably wouldn't be a good idea anyway. |

Your answer was here all along

Football will always be king in this country, so you just have to accept that if you share with one. I'd rather share a great stadium and maybe have this problem once in a blue moon (and in the years they've played there, how many times has this happened, and to Wigan and Hull as well), rather than have a poor stadium week in, week out. |

I thought I couldn't recall any games not being played at the McAlpine/Galpharm before now! Complete storm in a teacup as expected... |

15 years sorry not 17.
It’s an updated version of the original Desso Grassmaster surface used by both the football club and the Giants, and Kirklees Stadium Development Ltd managing director Gareth Davies says the £700,000-plus project will put it up with the best in the country.
An all-weather strip identical to that at Liverpool’s famous Anfield ground will also be laid alongside the pitch on the Direct Golf Stand side, providing a running surface which can be used all year round.
“The first Desso pitch, laid 15 years ago, was then at the forefront of technology,” explained Davies.
“But all forms of technology inevitably move on and now we are laying a surface which is right back at the forefront of pitch technology.
“The beauty of Desso Grassmaster is that it is essentially a natural grass pitch with plastic fibres interwoven into the surface to give it greater durability.
“In fact the pitch being laid is identical to that in place at 13 of the 20 Premier League grounds and also at Wembley Stadium.”

Forget about the grass OK.
MY POINT HERE IS .
If they wanted Take That to perform at the said venue for 3 weeks it would be the same result.
Send the rugby team somewhere else.
Yes we want a nice new stadium and would much rather play in a ground like the galpharm than BV.

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. |
