It's not even confirmed where and when the match will be played yet, I am sure official confirmation from the
club will be announced soon.

Can't fault Siddall in wanting to play at their home ground, but logistically, I can't see it happening.

Its not just the lack of facilities for the number of people, but its also down a country lane and lack of parking.

I've heard that there is another cold snap on the way too, possibly for late next week. Could be a bit bleak up there with a bit of the white stuff.

It is their choice (unless safety fears trump it) and I do respect it. Ultimately it comes down to a choice between dreams and pragmatism for them...the dream of a potential giant killing at home, or the reality of a lucrative great day out (with just as much chance of a giant killing).
Whichever route they choose I hope they have a great day...but no giant killing!

Understood. Seems though (and history backs up) they value a home tie more than the money

If the expected cold snap comes late next week as expected, this game won't be on full stop.

Yes it’s called winter Eastern , just like it is every year around this time . It’s down a country lane leading to a village , don’t tell me we have all gone that soft as to not be able to park and walk a few 100 yards, and when you do get to the ground there is plenty of room pitch side for push chairs , wheelchair ,the whole shebang

There's still highlights footage around of last years CC tie Siddal v Sheffield Eagles for those who've never been to Siddal's ground.
No shot of the players pitch side chairs though.

Up until Matt Ellis took us over, Siddal would have been in a far healthier financial position than us so maybe financial benefits of playing at BV are not a consideration for them.

Not good for disabled fans though!

Siddal it is then
See you all in the queue outside the ticket office tomorrow at 6am.

What’s to stop people travelling and watching from outside? There doesn’t look to be much in the way of high fencing to stop anyone watching?

I suspect nothing at all, it's a very easy wall to climb over by the looks of things

Sidall head of security that day is the one and only kevin preston

Shocking decision
