Go on then Nigel, I'll accept this if someone can explain how it is unsafe to have two games, when cardiac can have 4 in one day and Warrington can have 3 in one day???

Four sets of fans crossing eachothers paths is an accident waiting to happen itself

Nonsense

Yes I mean 14 in Cardiff turned into a riot!

Absolute bull doo doo's....

Cardiff puts on a Magic weekend where there were 14 sets of fans at any one time crossing around each other. Ask where the accidents happened....

This is just absolute madness. All it serves to do is lessen the potenial crowds at each game and thereby lessen the atmosphere. I would certainly have gone for the second half of the Sidall game and there would have most likely been some of the Widnes and Sidall fans stay for the Halifax game......

Only way playing at Shay was a good idea was for a double header but now they want to furthest travelling support to be in and ready for a half 11 KO! If Siddall have to pay rent they'll lose a shed load!

J20, no arguments here from me. This just smacks of complete incompetence on behalf of the council.

I would of happily hung round for an hour (putting money behind bar) waiting for the Halifax game as well. But 4 hours? Sounds like s huge opportunity missed.

When your East stand was completed there was plenty of talk of wanting to hold cup semi finals there and World Cup fixtures etc. Instances like this would only question the ability to hold such big events which is a shame for all concerned!

Council ' jobsworths ' , no wonder this country is up a creak in a leaky canoe

I'm also questioning the Council's committment.

Committment to local commercialism
Committment to commonsense

Halifax RLFC are merely pointing out the stupidity of the decision. It is a stupid decision Bubba. Stick to Wendyball Bubba - this needn't concern you and your response is EXACTLY as i would have predicted.
