Quick question. Why do we have so many people in the dugout? Theres two old guys who ive noticed (since sitting in the East Stand) are stood in the dugout at every game. To the best of my knowledge they arent players, part of the coaching staff or even physio's. They just stand there doing nothing. I think it looks uprofessional and scruffy. Why cant they sit in the stand like everyone else, theres plenty of seats for them to choose from.

Also noticed how the away dugout is 3 degrees less square to the pitch than the home dugout.. this also in my eyes is totally unprofessional...

The grass in front of the home dugout is slightly greener too!

ok so now we have won, people are trying to come up with other things to moan about... FFS!!!!!!

Surely not! [iThe grass is always greener on the other side...[/i

I think you'll find that they're Matt Calland's body guards; they're some of Halifax's toughest.

Seriously though, what the hell?!?! Does it matter??

will have to check recording of game to see who are. maybe ghosts of years past.

thats so away coach cannot see how many forward passes their team is doing.

very little knowledge then,



,

ned and cov are the kit men, and have to be there incase players need new kit., if thats ok with you????

thats if your on about those 2,,lol

Let Sleaze boy take the matter up with Cov. I'd give him 2 minutes before Cov steps over his sorry carcass for a quick luncheon in Harvey's restaurant.

What a goddamn dumb thread.

FFS Give the guy a break. He only asked who all the extra bodies in the dugout were. A simple question, and simply because he doesn't have the same club knowledge as the untouchables on here, then he gets abuse for it. Why not simply answer the question.

There have been plenty of dumb threads on here of late.

His previous posts are as dumb as the one that started this thread.

Fair point. I should pay more attention to who is posting the thread or I'll just be on here defending people all the time.

You'd think if he read the courier he'd recognise Dave Fleming?

Am i not allowed an opinion, thought thats what this place is for?? I dont think they should be stood there.
If you've got a problem with that then you'll find me at the top of the South Stand at every home game.
Wont be sitting in the East Stand again, for such an amazing facility its probably got the dullest atmosphere ive ever experienced at a rugby league game

can you get tickets for the dugout?

I was actually trying to support you mate.

I also have been on the East Stand for the games its been in use, not really enjoyed the experience, apart from the excellent view of the whole pitch. There is no atmosphere but as yet there have hardly been any fans in there.. I feel a return to the top left corner of the south stand coming soon.

Regarding the bench situation. Agreed. Do they all need to be there? For me it should be Subs, Coach, Asst Coach, Physio and Water Carriers. Not really sure there is a need for 3 kit men. But thats just an opinion. Which last i heard, we are entitled to!

Well that kind of remark is going to help the club get more people in the stand isn't it!?!

Is anything positive at the club at the moment?

It was more the 'unprofessional' and 'can't they sit in the stand' comment that triggered it I think.

Are we really at a club where people can just walk and stand by the bench? No.

Like you ive been in there for all the games its been used for, never again though, the view is amazing and £3 for a can of bitter is a joke, dont mind paying that if im gonna get a proper pint. Maybe they should add Prawn Sandwiches to the menu for all the boring fans.

Thanks for the support Standidge, at least someone agrees with me

Why don't the club make the dugout five times bigger - then there won't seem as many people in it



Come on Mr Steele - get your priorities right !!!

Steady on, you'll get me lynched by the all knowing element. But cheers mate. I try not to have a go at anyone on the forum. Maybe offer a little education on the errors but never have a go at anyone.

Is the beer not the same price in the South Stand?

Why don't we pull the friggin' stand down. In fact - flatten the whole bloody stadium and put a Netto on it. Then you can buy all the cheap beer you want.

Jesus Christ - what is going on with some fans today ????



Watch the Rugby and shut up !!!!

Calm down, sunshine. I can feel a timeout coming on.[/i

I was led to believe that the RFL stipulate that only nine persons may occupy the touchline/dugout from either team, including four substitutes.
