Haven were winning at the time

the power failure was outside of Whitehavens control

It's very disappointing for those fans who made the journey to support Fax, but I repeat it wasn't the fault of Whitehaven larges parts of adjacent housing areas were also without power.

Whitehaven will refund admission costs to those who made it to the game. You can claim through our Club offices

Are you actually stupid or just on the wind up?

Btw. Internet on the phone. I know you don't have much in terms of technology up there, but it would be quite easy to post.

Your right about the ground being a dump but that is in hand and we will be getting a new stadium in the near future.
As for the abandonment nothing to do with the rugby club.
The substation that supplies the ground and surrounding areas went off.

As for the idiot who says we had you on the rack, ignore him he is deluded, the game was 9 minutes old. Yes we were playing better than Fax at the time but Fax are quality and would have came right back in it at some point and overtaken us.

Apparently the lights are back on and the Halifax coach hasn't left it...but I suppose the fans will be well on there way home now

Rearranged for March 16th. Lord knows how they're going to do the draw.

I don't know how anyone can criticise Whitehaven for having the match abandoned. If a substation has cooked, it's hardly the fault of the club, now is it?

However, a replay at this juncture is, IMO, impractical. The costs to Halifax must be mounting. There must be another solution.

there is give us the points

"1st out of the hat is Swinton/Halifax/Haven/Hunslet. They will play...Swinton/Halifax/Haven/Hunslet "

Sad times

Edit: actually is our game not the day before the draw?

Something must be done to resolve this

Profound

Ring up Fat boy Wood and say we are Welsh or from London and Fax we get money and a place in SL! Seriously though not Whitehavens fault and they must be frustrated as anybody. They also have likely lost money on this game as likely crowd will be very low and likely have lost revenue from other areas as well. As for the fool that thinks Fax were on the rack well a game lasts 80 minutes not 10. And likely was going to be another tough game but certainly at 2-0 with 70 minutes to play you could never say it was over. I do believe the game has to be played 60 minutes for a result to stand, though maybe thats just amateur games

Yeah - we were on the rack at the HJ stadium in October until we grabbed the rack, pulled all it's wires of the frame and shoved each spike one by one up Featherstone's 'arris.

Didnt 'arris leave the season before?

Now on a personal Crusade

The draw was to be made at half time in the Leigh v Featherstone game on March 10th - six days before the reported scheduled replay. (16th) Incidentally, 'Fax are at Toulouse on the 12th and 'Haven at home to Rochdale on the 13th. (weather and electricity supply permitting

)

So we are away to Toulouse on the 12th back to Whitehaven on the 16th and Home to Featherstone on sly tv on the 24th. Busy and expensive

Ah right cheers. Interesting times then.

I thought your game would be on tele on the 17th when i posted that which sadly shows how soft in the head I am as I know full well i'm off to the York game on Sky that night.

Many fax fans go up? Why was it a Wednesday night too? Previously called off?

This will have to be played otherwise Swinton will be 4th and be through.I think it should be played at Fax now.

original game called off due to poor pitch after some fax fans had traveled up there.
