They can get experience at Belle Vue and earn more money.

Been a few times to watch my grandson and boy what views outa their club house windows , beats ours any day of the week . Good on them for sticking to their guns as the cacophony of moaners and groaner grew ever louder . Where am I going to park , where am I going to sit , all the usual dross from the entitled. For me it’s simple if your not happy with any aspects of the game ,don’t go , but don’t put the mockers on a club that will have been buzzing from the minute our name got pulled out of the hat , it’s what dreams are made up of for clubs like these . There choice respect it , simple .

I respect your comments and your rights to express it… I wholeheartedly disagree, but that’s my choice!

It's not even confirmed where and when the match will be played yet, I am sure official confirmation from the
club will be announced soon.

Can't fault Siddall in wanting to play at their home ground, but logistically, I can't see it happening.

Its not just the lack of facilities for the number of people, but its also down a country lane and lack of parking.

I've heard that there is another cold snap on the way too, possibly for late next week. Could be a bit bleak up there with a bit of the white stuff.

It is their choice (unless safety fears trump it) and I do respect it. Ultimately it comes down to a choice between dreams and pragmatism for them...the dream of a potential giant killing at home, or the reality of a lucrative great day out (with just as much chance of a giant killing).
Whichever route they choose I hope they have a great day...but no giant killing!

Understood. Seems though (and history backs up) they value a home tie more than the money

If the expected cold snap comes late next week as expected, this game won't be on full stop.

Yes it’s called winter Eastern , just like it is every year around this time . It’s down a country lane leading to a village , don’t tell me we have all gone that soft as to not be able to park and walk a few 100 yards, and when you do get to the ground there is plenty of room pitch side for push chairs , wheelchair ,the whole shebang

Have you been to the ground do you really think its that easy to park up,its a struggle for a under 15s game

There's still highlights footage around of last years CC tie Siddal v Sheffield Eagles for those who've never been to Siddal's ground.
No shot of the players pitch side chairs though.

Up until Matt Ellis took us over, Siddal would have been in a far healthier financial position than us so maybe financial benefits of playing at BV are not a consideration for them.

Not good for disabled fans though!

Siddal it is then
See you all in the queue outside the ticket office tomorrow at 6am.

What’s to stop people travelling and watching from outside? There doesn’t look to be much in the way of high fencing to stop anyone watching?

I suspect nothing at all, it's a very easy wall to climb over by the looks of things

Sidall head of security that day is the one and only kevin preston

Shocking decision

Can the RFL confirm that the Siddal ground is safe for players and fans (particularly disabled and elderly)? Really???

As a safety professional, I highly doubt their assessment!

Definitely not going, stood at the side of the Siddall pitch many a time, not a cat in hells chance of watching the game unless only one row of speckies at pitch side

Its crazy really hope daryll picks as strong side as possible and we absolutely slaughter them as the fact there playing at home makes them feel they have a chance

Been with both grandkids in last 2/3 years , it’s not easy parking anywhere nowadays , I’ve managed to get in the carpark no problem when I went with the wakefield Hawks . Id go so far as to say the club was run better than I’d seen at wakey at the time and I’m sure they’ll have burger vans n the whole shebang ready to lighten your wallet . It’s one game and will give the club such a buzz . Don’t forget without these grass root clubs the game would definitely die a death , we owe it to them after all, they won the right to entertain us fair n square

You got lucky with parking to be fair ive had many a issue and the road outside is narrow to say the least.you make some fair points but if your not in a postion to stand for 80 mins ya not going is that not discrimination and if you do go and you dont get a front row you not seeing much

Where are they going to situate the burger vans etc, if it's as bad as stated on here?

£10 a ticket, to stand on grass around a touchline, to watch a bunch of amateurs take us on, what planet are the Siddal people on ?
