I can't see why there'd need to be such a gap between the two games (almost 2 hours at least if those 12pm/3.30 are adhered to).
That in itself would discourage people staying IMHO. We used to run Academy matches at 12.30 kick off as curtain raisers to first team games which kicked off at 3pm.
There was still plenty of time for pre-match 'entertainment'.
I'd come to both if there was something to keep me occupied between matches. Not if there was going to be a two hour gap.
By the way, those people who think Siddal will lose money by not taking the game to the Hobart aren't factoring in what it would cost to play the game there. Quite a sum I believe.

Officeboy. Saying the opposite of everyone else just to get attention since 2002.

A - E! Especially B, I hear the club coach certainly wasn't upto scratch as the on board cooler didn't get the water to the temperature the players really desired.

That was 2 years ago FFS. Since then Blacky has appeared in 2 Grand Finals and kicked a drop goal to make his team champions. Apart from losing a final to a team that didn't even make the play offs exactly what have you had to cheer about since
NOTHING - Which is why you are clinging to a knock on 2 years ago you sad sap

So he's got the same record as Widnes? 2 finals one win, one loss?
On the final point I'll tell you in 36 days

That knock-on allowed them to apply for Super League. O'Connor must have Benny's portrait above his fireplace cos none of his own players are worthy that's for sure.
That in effect means it isn't a double header Think I'm meant to be in Lancaster for the weekend so not looking good, especially for a 12 KO. I know in effect it's your ground but switching the games around would of brought more fans in.
If they do insist the ground must be empty can't see a big turn out from our end whatsoever as tbf the added bonus of watching another game at least for a bit was an added bonus. The rest defeats the point of the move IMO.
