I'm lead to believe that since the article was published the game has now been reverted back to the shay.

I'm sure something official will be announce tonight/tomorrow

According to the Courier Sport Twitter feed it's on as a double header.

Good to see common sense prevail, a shame the two clubs had to work so hard and fight every inch of the way for what should have been a no-brainer decision.

I hope so chaps, enjoy my trips to the Shay so would definately be looking to stay behind for your game


If more common sense prevails they'll try and get a quick turnaround to make sure a lot of Widnes speccies do likewise.

How will they split the gate money between 4 teams?I think Siddal would get more money at t stobarts.I think a few from widnes will not go to fax.

www.widnesvikings.co.uk/article.php?id=3920 Shay confirmed with KO TBC Likely we'll get the early kick off but again will decrease crowd as furthest following...

But there will be a hell of a lot more people from Halifax who'll attend the game.

Must be some good admin jobs going in Halifax RL btw? Pi$$ up & brewery come to mind!

Siddal's last game at The Shay vs Swinton drew a very healthy crowd with a limited number of travelling Supporters. They also took at least 600 to Doncaster last season.

Nothing to do with Halifax RL, the stadium is run by the council, so you are right about the brewery!

Sorry forgot you had no 'nickname' or whatever call Vikings etc. Just meant RL in Halifax in general

Enjoy your day out.Think i will save some money and go out with the family.

Thats what we like to see..... A true fan of the game and their team......

TBF if you were playing Widnes St Maries @ the Stoart 12pm on Sunday morning could you see many flocking over?

Think this is an appalling idea from a Fax point of view. The risk of injury to players in the final game of the day is considerable, especially considering that Town play on it the day before and the drainage is shocking at the best of times. If it is wet this pitch will cut up like Fred Elliot, I say Fred Elliot.

Beswick broke his ankle last season just by turning awkwardly - exactly the sort of injury that can happen on a pitch full of divots.

I'll turn up for our game I suppose, doubt I'll hang around for the anti-climax. No doubt my presence will still be counted in the Halifax attendance.



Is the North stand fixed yet?

They wouldnt be there in the thousands, but the die hard fans would be.

ha, ha. I dont think many that make the journey would stay for the Halifax game, as its not likely to be a classic.

Can we count all those who attend the Siddal game on our figures, i doubt anyone at the club would have thought of that

Weather pretty good and fairly dry for next couple of weeks. Grass may even grow a bit if footballers dont kick it all off!!! theweatheroutlook.com/forecast/uk/hx1

[I think it is right and I will be at The Shay regardless.'"

It will be interesting to see what the pricing strategy turns out to be.

Will they (a) charge just for the first game and then clear the stadium before admitting and charging people for the second game; or (b) will they charge just one fee to attend both games which will be higher than they would normally charge for just one game (maybe double); or (c) will they charge just the one normal admission fee to cover both games.

If the decision is to go for (b) then that might deter some Fax fans from attending who only want to see our team or are only available timewise to watch the one game. I, for one, would not be particularly keen to have to pay more than normal to watch Fax take on a team of amateurs in what is likely to be a one-sided contest though I will be there supporting Fax whatever (I am one of those who cannot commit timewise to being at both games I have to admit).

We shall see.

Have you ever travelled in thousands?

26000 to Wembley 1987 and 1988

At least we know Widnes #1 fan will be in attendance for the full day...
