The horse has bolted let's close the gate.
O'h hang on FC Halifax have a game on Saturday.
You couldn't make it up.

Is it Jagger & Hyde?

Cmon John, dont be daft. The covers are frost covers, not waterproof covers. If you have ever helped the groundstaff pull them on you will know that they are a fabric which lets the grass still breath so therefore allows water to seep through. Plus, if you did put some form of waterproof cover down, what do you then do with the water that sits on the top? Get a mop and bucket?

I think you need to get the idea that there is a conspiracy our of your minds and just understand that it was good old Mother Nature.

The grass that is on the pitch looks half dead anyway which is surprising given how football does not damage the pitch and it were only relaid last summer. On that note does every ground get their pitch relaid every year?

I must admit though I do find it funny that most Town fans can not see the wood for the trees and think that Fax should in some way have contributed towards sorting the pitch out. They dislike Fax so much that they would rather gripe at them than the people it should really be aimed at which is the council. Maybe as longest serving tenants at the Shay the rugby club need to get together with the council and find out what is going on.

....and Bubba emerges once again! The voice of reason on here whilst making snide anti-Fax comments on his own forum.

I personally had nothing against the match being called off if the pitch was not going to be up to it but it was the way it was done which offended me.

Can you imagine the reaction from fcht fans if one of their games had been called off without the courtesy of the their club being invited to participate in the decision?

Correct on all points FM.

They would blame us Tony.

Thank you. Someone needs to be.

What a total bell you are. Yours and your fellow muppets comments on the fcht are laughable.

E.G we could not play as we owe rent, or the squatters this and that. Maybe its time you accept Halifax is rugby town the difference in attendances show this.

The match should of been passed to an RFL for a pitch inspection. If it meant the wendyball game could not be played then tough sure a local pub like Warley will let you use the pitch down there as its a pub team after all

Should have! Not should of.

Jesus. If I spent my time correcting grammar on the football forum, I'd never get any work done.

There should be a ' in Cmon!

Also one in Don't !

Never trust a skinshifter.

Town fans simply cant get their heads around why HXRLFC should not of(

) put any money in towards the pitch. Just because they have a weak ass chairman who bows down to the council all the time and rather than kick off with them over the state of the pitch, made an offer to them to pay for part of the repairs, they think Fax should do the same. I would imagine that upkeep of the pitch is part of the rent that is sometimes(

) paid and if the council can not provide a pitch that is fit for purpose then that is their problem and their job to rectify it.

Maybe the council actually do listen to the rugby club more but maybe that is due to them being the longest serving tenants, who knows.

Town's match v Barra today has bee called off due to a chilly pitch (as they'd say in Hudds). This is bad news as it will need to be rearranged which will push into our season.

Or should I have said, the moisture in the surrounding area was below the optimum temperature, we have had nothing like this in sub-tropical Hudds since we had the incinerator built just up the road from the Galpharm(or whatever it's called this week).

As long as they dont ruin the pitch like they did last season before the rugby starts it does not matter. Now it just needs their chairman to start standing up to the council and it would never have come to this and we would both be playing on a shiny 4G pitch. Then again knowing the council they would probably try to re-lay that every season and once again Town would have to foot the bill.

Don't worry fellow Faxfans Councilor Swift and Oz have agreed that our game at Widnes can go ahead.
Oz remarked that the pitch looked remarkably green for this time of year "it doesn't look natural to me" he remarked so he has recommended that a three inch layer of sand be spread over it.

My mind is like a sponge I'm soaking up all this useless information given out and processing it to be passed on to Mrs Jagger who is thinking of attending a few Fax games next season,the East Stand will come alive as Fax March on the League.

Town fans will blame us. We did play a game in September and the pitch was a right mess ( not) wonder which one of them is using the brain cell today.

"Should of", though, is a bad 'un, isn't it ? Absolutely rife these days - caused by folk being unable to pronounce their aitches.

Don't you know how to compose a sentence with words in it?
