Sorry forgot you had no 'nickname' or whatever call Vikings etc. Just meant RL in Halifax in general

Enjoy your day out.Think i will save some money and go out with the family.

Thats what we like to see..... A true fan of the game and their team......

TBF if you were playing Widnes St Maries @ the Stoart 12pm on Sunday morning could you see many flocking over?

Think this is an appalling idea from a Fax point of view. The risk of injury to players in the final game of the day is considerable, especially considering that Town play on it the day before and the drainage is shocking at the best of times. If it is wet this pitch will cut up like Fred Elliot, I say Fred Elliot.

Beswick broke his ankle last season just by turning awkwardly - exactly the sort of injury that can happen on a pitch full of divots.

I'll turn up for our game I suppose, doubt I'll hang around for the anti-climax. No doubt my presence will still be counted in the Halifax attendance.



Is the North stand fixed yet?

They wouldnt be there in the thousands, but the die hard fans would be.

ha, ha. I dont think many that make the journey would stay for the Halifax game, as its not likely to be a classic.

Can we count all those who attend the Siddal game on our figures, i doubt anyone at the club would have thought of that

Weather pretty good and fairly dry for next couple of weeks. Grass may even grow a bit if footballers dont kick it all off!!! theweatheroutlook.com/forecast/uk/hx1

[I think it is right and I will be at The Shay regardless.'"

It will be interesting to see what the pricing strategy turns out to be.

Will they (a) charge just for the first game and then clear the stadium before admitting and charging people for the second game; or (b) will they charge just one fee to attend both games which will be higher than they would normally charge for just one game (maybe double); or (c) will they charge just the one normal admission fee to cover both games.

If the decision is to go for (b) then that might deter some Fax fans from attending who only want to see our team or are only available timewise to watch the one game. I, for one, would not be particularly keen to have to pay more than normal to watch Fax take on a team of amateurs in what is likely to be a one-sided contest though I will be there supporting Fax whatever (I am one of those who cannot commit timewise to being at both games I have to admit).

We shall see.

Have you ever travelled in thousands?

26000 to Wembley 1987 and 1988

At least we know Widnes #1 fan will be in attendance for the full day...

That in itself would discourage people staying IMHO. We used to run Academy matches at 12.30 kick off as curtain raisers to first team games which kicked off at 3pm. There was still plenty of time for pre-match 'entertainment'. I'd come to both if there was something to keep me occupied between matches. Not if there was going to be a two hour gap. By the way, those people who think Siddal will lose money by not taking the game to the Hobart aren't factoring in what it would cost to play the game there. Quite a sum I believe.

How on earth did a Halifax club wrestle the Championship trophy from the ever so competent Widnes Vikings?

From chaos comes order. What's your club's excuse scouselad?

Mulitple choice questions this one, Littlerich

A, Injuries

B, Coach

C, Blooding kids

D, Dual Registration being recalled

E, Not being good enough

F, All of the above

A - E! Especially B, I hear the club coach certainly wasn't upto scratch as the on board cooler didn't get the water to the temperature the players really desired.

That was 2 years ago FFS. Since then Blacky has appeared in 2 Grand Finals and kicked a drop goal to make his team champions. Apart from losing a final to a team that didn't even make the play offs exactly what have you had to cheer about since

NOTHING - Which is why you are clinging to a knock on 2 years ago you sad sap

So he's got the same record as Widnes? 2 finals one win, one loss?

On the final point I'll tell you in 36 days

That knock-on allowed them to apply for Super League. O'Connor must have Benny's portrait above his fireplace cos none of his own players are worthy that's for sure.

Mate i wont go to a curtain raiser for a fax game.

Latest twist.

Council say ground must be emptied between games. Siddal kick off 11.30, Fax kick off 5.30.

They're having a laugh. Will lose a lot of revenue from bars and food stalls. How many are gonna pay twice to come in?

That in effect means it isn't a double header

Think I'm meant to be in Lancaster for the weekend so not looking good, especially for a 12 KO. I know in effect it's your ground but switching the games around would of brought more fans in.

If they do insist the ground must be empty can't see a big turn out from our end whatsoever as tbf the added bonus of watching another game at least for a bit was an added bonus. The rest defeats the point of the move IMO.
