I don't think they are forcing you to go.

I think that's a fair price to watch the favourites to win the Championship.

Still think they'd be better playing it elsewhere though.

£10 a ticket x 1000 = £10,000 less costs then shared 50/50 between the clubs

What attendance do you think we’d get if it was at Belle Vue?
My guess is approx 5000 with a ticket price of say £16 = £80,000 less costs then shared 50/50

I’m going to be bold here, not arrogant but maybe tempting fate, they won’t beat us whether it’s played at Siddal or Belle Vue so why not make some money but more importantly give their players a great experience playing in front of a big crowd in a nice stadium.

Any way you look at it the decision to play at Siddal just doesn’t make sense

Can't even offer you my helicopter either BLM....
I won't be there anyway as I'll be out on the Razz in Holmfirth on an all-dayer....

Completely agree.

An amateur club drawing a top club is always about the money and experience.
They have little chance of winning but if they did its only another chance to get a big club and money. They are not going to keep going. So take the money and invest in the club.

But it isn’t as bad as stated , there was a breakfast hut situated down the side of the car park last time I visited and plenty of room for more if they so desire . We will be their for a few hrs at the most , a cracking club run way better than ours was by the looks , but by the sounds of this chat ,Siddal is sounding more like a gulag than an amateur club . You know us British we like a good moan about anything and everything .if people aren’t happy with the situation stay away , they probably don’t want or need negative people at the club pulling it to bits , boy we’ve had enough over the years dragging our club through the mire ,but if you do go , I think you’ll find a hidden gem of a club

Bring your own , it’s really not that hard is it really

Gone soft in your old age I see

5000 dream on against an amateur club switching a tie

What a stupid comment have you ever done that its not great viewing at the best of time your low down for a start people will keep been in front of you cos its going to be packed

Good on Siddal for wanting to stage the game. They must be buzzing about pulling a championship club at home. If the powers that be deem it to be safe then crack on. Been to Siddal loads and you can see why they are one of the best amateur clubs in the country. Don't get all the negativity towards them. Especially when our ground has been hanging on by a thread for ages. If the RFL deems it safe then all parties involved should be helping Siddal make it happen. It's a fantastic opportunity for a grassroots club to showcase themselves and make a few quid too.

Have to agree, more like 3,000 at 10 quid entry.

There is no negativity towards them. Just concerns over viewing, safety, ticket availability, parking and provisions. These are all valid questions for supporters who want to go support their team.

It’s been deemed acceptable to meet these demands (well perhaps not demand if ticketing is limited). If it does and people have a great day out that’s brilliant and justifies the decision but if not and there’s issues it will look like a poor decision and something to learn from.

Unable to stand to watch a game, rules me out of attending.

And thats one of my main points it doesnt affect me i and i wouldnt be going anyway but there should be opportunity for everyone to attend

Seems Siddals 8am ticket announcement was to say that tickets are available from Siddals Clubhouse doesnt mention anything for tickets for Wakefield so seemingly if you want to go you have to go to Siddal to purchase tickets.
Im sure the club may have some news to put out later regarding ticketing, but thats the stance so far

Unless people are absolutely blinkered we do have 'group' of people that attend our games, who can be a little untuly at times. If no tickets are available i can see climbing over that small stone wall as a temptation to some.

Thought he's always been like that Ketty.....

A stupid question deserves a stupid answer , it’s on a playing field not the north face of the Eiger , lots of people bring folding chairs to games especially those less mobile .

These old pit fitters were always a bit on the soft side

Yes when thers about 50 people there not 1000 you work it out go get a camping chair and sit there see what the view is like

I will also add that awswell people with mobility issues been discrimimated against but so are youngsters as under 16s tickets can only be purchased with an adult ticket so great waybtobgtow the game

Wakefield have been allocated 500 tickets for this match. Available from the club shop on 03/02/24 after 9am

With only 500 tickets on sale, I presume there will be a restriction, either 1 0r 2 tickets per person ?

Steady on Ketty or me an Sanders will be knocking on your door

You’ve said this a couple of times now “if you don’t like it, stay away”
What if people don’t want to miss the game but are excluded from seeing it by the limited number of tickets, no disabled facilities or are just unable to stand for 80 minutes or so.

If it was the only option, if there wasn’t a better alternative then it ouldnt be helped but there are options
