Hes forgot sorry i will get my coat

Wasn't told, but here's the RFL 'Operational Rule' on the subject - curiously they don't allow for teams playing on Thursdays!

If you can understand this lot, well done!



POSTPONEMENTS

B1:17 [iIn case of postponement of a Match, the Match shall, if the Clubs involved so agree or the RFL so directs, be re-arranged for the following Wednesday ("the preferred Wednesday"icon_wink.gif. If, however, at the time of postponement both Clubs have a known free Sunday date prior to the scheduled end of the appropriate competition, the Clubs involved may agree that such Match shall be arranged for that free Sunday instead of the
preferred Wednesday subject always to Board approval. Sunday dates on Cup Tie weekends or weekends allocated for other competitions can be regarded as free only if at the time of the postponement, both Clubs concerned have been dismissed from the Cup or other competitions concerned. In any event, if either Club has a Match on the Friday immediately following the preferred Wednesday, then the postponed Match shall instead be re-arranged for the Monday or Tuesday prior to the preferred Wednesday unless the Club has a game on the Sunday prior to that Monday or Tuesday in which case, thegame shall, if possible (in accordance with the above provisions) be re-arranged to the Wednesday following the preferred Wednesday or so on as necessary until the Match is re-scheduled. If the Clubs wish to agree to play the Match on any date other than a date determined in accordance with the preceding provisions of this Operational Rule B1:15 then both Clubs shall promptly make written submissions to the Board which shall agree thereto or determine the date on which such postponed Match shall be played taking into account all relevant circumstances known to it. Notwithstanding the above the Board in its absolute discretion may order a match to be re-arranged as it, acting reasonably,thinks fit in the circumstances.[/i

In addition to that lot, there is an obscure rule that states that part-time clubs will not be compelled to make long or time-consuming journeys on a day other than Saturday, Sunday, or Public Holidays - perhaps that's the one?

No wonder you forgot Alan

Forgot what?!

Its not a rule anyone would remember except the bloke who wrote it

Could be rewritten as "The Board will decide when the match is to be played"


We all trust the RFL to act in a fair and proper manner

except when dealing with us

This time, I suspect that the RFL will do the decent thing, having rejected both clubs' sttempts to get one over on the other. All I ask is for all clubs to be treated the same - and in this instance, select a midweek that is equally 'inconvenient' to both Leigh and 'Fax. (even Starbug's suggestion is fine!

)

Our web site has it Friday 3 July 8.00 pm ko. Sorry thats the cup match.

No it's not, that's the Championship match. the NRC quarter-final is on Sunday 7th June, kick off 3 p.m. - according to the RFL website.

Getting confusing, isn't it?!

not really confusing at all is it, halifax away in the league has always been 3rd july, the nrc quarter game has always been 7th june, its the home game against them that is undecided as of yet, simple hey.

I think you may have missed the point here,with the greatest respect.

Seems to me Alan was simply being polite when responding to an enquiry from a Fax fan.It,s easy to forget that Yorks folk are not as bright as us despite the enormous amount of research that has been done to try to improve their lot.

Sorry frank, i forgot we were dealing with people from tother side of pennines.

Thank you, frank! The Halifax club hasn't helped here, as they actually announced (via their website) that the re-arranged game at Leigh was to be on 13th May - the day before we played Widnes! They wish!

all this fuss. sorry fax beat widnes to get to next round of the challenge cup.
forgot who you played the weekend we were in round 5.

Luck of the draw - you drew that shower of e to earn your game at Cas, while we were drawn away to Wakefield in Round 4. Hardly worth gloating about that we were defeated by a decent Super League side away from home

Just because you are top and got further in the CC doesn't mean you get preferential treatment to the detriment of other RFL members, although you're board obviously are full of there own self importance at the moment.

How are your reserve team doing at the moment by the way.

Stop being cheeky you whippersnapper.

Fantastic! They haven't lost a game all season.

ey you,givover,tis champion ova ere

Good idea though to drop the expensive running of the reserves in order to gain your right to apply for a franchise. Although I'm not sure how not running a reserve team fits in with the guidelines etc. Can't see them kicking anyone out of Stupid Legaue in 2012 and while there is already a top heavy Yorkshire bias in there you have as much chance as us of getting a franchise, sorry licence.

guidelines dont count for anything in this division Derek, and the bare vnot saving that much as most reserve grade players are on a pitance.

Whoever wrote that deserves some kind of award.

Or a mental assessment.

At this juncture, I would hasten to point out that I was copying the RFL Operating Rule, verbatim!!!
