Halifax RLFC v Sheffield Eagles
Sunday 16th September 2012, kick off 1:30pm

This week’s play off game will be against Sheffield Eagles this Sunday kick off 1.30pm.

The game is being televised but as it is such an important game, we hope that as many supporters as possible come along to cheer the team on. When we last played Sheffield here at the Shay it was a really close run thing and no doubt it will be the same again. The winners of this game will play away at either Featherstone or Leigh in the final eliminator for the Grand Final.

Prices for the game are:-

South Stand (standing) Adults £15, Concessions £13 and Juniors £1
East Stand (seated) Adults £18, Concessions £15 and Juniors £1

[uSeason Tickets are NOT valid for this game[/u.

Although the game has an early kick off we shall be holding a “Brunch” in the Harveys Banqueting Suite from 11.30 am. There will be Danish pastries, croissants, a buffet hot breakfast, yoghurt and fruit selection and coffee. The costs of this Brunch which will include your ticket into the game are Adults £35 plus VAT, Concessions £30 plus VAT and Juniors £15 plus VAT.

So as this will be Fax’s last home game this season whatever the result, why not treat yourselves to this pre match meal. Pete Emmett will be doing his pre match fun, anyone who’s anyone from either side will be there either pre or post match.

You can hear all the gossip, meet all the players, and have a really good time at our last home game of the season. To reserve a place at the Brunch please ring the Club on 01422 342792.

It will be really great for the team to see you all down here on Sunday in your Blue and White shouting them on hopefully to victory.

Enjoy the banqueting experience, but it is now too costly for me. £35 +vat is too much, remove your £18 ticket and you're left with about £20 for an overblown breakfast buffet and Pete Emmett's wit. I know he's funny, but you're having a laugh at those prices.
Good luck to those that can afford it and I'm sure you'll enjoy it, but for the rest of us, we'll just have to enjoy our own entertainment on the terraces.
Will be there in the crowd with the Barmy Army, screaming as loud as ever, giving my full support, dining on a South Stand burger. Value!

Come on Fax, we can do it!

Why have the concessions gone up £2 from the Keighley game ??

I was just about to ask the same question

...and me!

Actually, isn't it usually £10 for concessions?

Don't both clubs have to agree on the gate prices for a shared gate fixture ?


The pre-match meal thing isn't something that I've ever done or fancied BTW but I do feel that some clubs are much better off out of these type of fixtures with an away game with very little outlay and guaranteed income, Keighley last week for example bringing few speccies. Sheffield will be the same this week at least they won't have the trouble of having to find a home venue to stage the game.


At least the early info will stop the moaners being critical of the club like last week.

Could of been as hard for Keighley fans to get to the game as was for fax fans with your crowd dropping by 1000 from the batley game

I'm just wondering when the junior age is going to be raised to 17 in line with the school leaving age.

shows how tv games are affected

Wouldnt be surprised if it was our worst attendance of the season,on TV and an increase in prices

...and at a "non-standard" kick-off time. I'll be there, but it's affected my plans for Sunday.

the Keighley attendance was announced at 1200 ish, but there were way more than that.

on Sunday we will probably announce about 1400, again more will be in attendance.
