As I have just said on the Halifax forum, if we do get them and all 6300 season pass holders want to go (with the East stand still not open), then there will be problems as the ground only holds 6000 at the minute.
The used capacity is only about 6000* ATM
however fax still have the north stand @ the capacity of 3,500* (taking it to 9,500*)
and if the east stand is open by then (which it should be) there is another 4,500*
taking the capacity to 14,000*
* = Aprrox
Id love to draw u guys at the shay... and btw both clubs have to agree to it being free for ST holders which i doubt they will... they will both want the money as it is a Shared Gate

As long as the capacity of the Three Pigeons is still up to scratch...........

I'm pretty sure all Super League season ticket holders get free entry to the Challenge Cup 4th Round wherever it is, so I don't think there would be much you could do about it.

That's correct. It's part of the season ticket package for Super League sides that the Challenge Cup 4th round is included, regardless of opponent. If we draw Fax at the Shay, all our season ticket holders get a free ticket, whether Fax like it or not. Whether the RFL or Bulls compensate the team, I don't know (it may be that a fee from the season ticket price is put aside for that very reason), but it certainly won't cost the fans any more!

well according to mick gledhill the draws already been made and we have huddersfield away. Bearing in mind mick guessed/ had draw leaked to him the 1/4 final draw in 2008, RFL could have egg on its face if we do get hudds.
