Glad you mentioned Bradford mate, when we first got back into SL we drew the Bulls at home in the cup & they whinged and whined that we couldn’t accommodate all their (glory) fans at Belle Vue. Richardson quite rightly refused to switch the game to Odsal. Whether it makes sense or not, it’s Siddals call.

I agree with what you are saying.
However, Halifax wont host Siddal for free and would no doubt want to keep any bar / refreshment takings (as we probably would).
Thet earn the right to stage the game and assuming it can be held in a safe environment, job done.

None of us have the "right" to attend every game and whatever their facilities are, their own fans will be well used to them, albeit, next week will be their biggest home crowd for some while and possibly ever.

It would be great if the game could be streamed in some way, which would give everyone who wants to watch, an opportunity to see the game.

Although….

‘The Equality Act 2010
In the UK, venues such as sports grounds are legally obliged, under the terms of the Equality Act 2010, to ensure that people with disabilities aren’t disadvantaged when it comes to accessing and enjoying their facilities.’

I'm not sure anyone with a disability has actually been disadvantaged yet.
Did anyone actually check to see if Siddal have the capabilities of looking after someone with disabilities?

I’m not saying they have… this was more a comment/ observation about the ‘rights’ to attend games , whatever the facilities… a point I agree with, except when it contravenes legislation.

I got what you meant. It wasn't really a comment about what you said which was factually correct. Just a general thing about people being up in arms about something that might not be an issue at all.

Every word spot on mate.

All these comments about being forced to stand are amusing considering away fans have been condemned to the Western terrace for the last few years. 500 tickets for you is 50% and very fair considering you limited Cas to 500 tickets for the relegation decider which was 10%.of the restricted 5,000 capacity.

You've always been able to sit in the East Stand

And I think the rules for ticket allocation are different for cup games..

Well done siddal a fantastic amateur club, taking the game back to the people just like our chairman as in giving an opportunity for working class people to attend and not be charged the earth.
