It's York races on the Thursday as well so the roads around York will be packed if your coming better set off early.

so what happens now,??????????????


18 August · 19:30 - 22:30


The first of many events in aid of James Haleys testimonial. For all of those who are not aware James has now been at Halifax RLFC for 10 years! In mark of this we will be holiding events throughout the year to celebrate, starting with a night at the Shay. For all you fans this is also the last under 23's game against York.

There will be a chance to see all upcoming events, buy tickets for the testimonial game against Australias Burly Bears, the halloween ball and Christmas raffle.

Shambles, won't be able to make this game now.

When / where is the game against Burleigh Bears?

its in october cant remember that date

21st I think, a Friday night.

Do the RFL think that all Rugby League supporters are as disorganised as themselves?? 2 Weeks notice is ridiculous, these fixtures were published 6 months ago, and naturally people have made plans for the weekend.

After a trip to Toulouse, York is the most attractive prospect of a weekend activity for an away fixture.

I live and work in York, based the with the Army, had booked a room in our Warrant Officers Mess for a few friends to come over and enjoy a night out then go to the game. All pointless now. And to top it off, I'm away on a course all that week and not back till the Friday night!! So will miss the game.

Thank you very much RFL and SKY TV!!!

I was also looking forward to this game!

as soon as the fistures were released, like most fans who travel away, we ear marked this as a 'day trip out'

2 weeks notice is daft! and as for James do that night aswell i feel sorry for him and the organisers!

I bet youre one of the ones who wonder why so many supporters from Batley and Dewsbury despise Halifax so much, me personally i like Halifax but could soon change my opinion based on comments like that.

A massive inconvenience for me but i should make it.Hate Thursday night games,York one of my favourite days out as well.

Strange Jeff, I've lived in Batley all my life and I can't for the life in me think where the 'slum' terrace houses you refer to are? There are terrace house, granted, but I can't think where these 'slums' are?!
Perhaps you're a just geographically challenged jerk-off and are mistaking Batley and Dewsbury for Mixenden and Ovenden respectively?

Leave it please, I grew up in Ovenden its not great but certainly no slum.
Neither is Batley or Dewsbury.
The guy went a bit OTT imo

Apologies, was just responding in the heat of the moment.
There's a guy who attends the gym I go to who owned a convenience shop in Ovenden for years - little bald headed, moustacheoed geezer called Tim. Id say he's about 60. A right character. Ever come across him?

Don't know if this is of any use to you lot, but in the Press today
(will no doubt be on their website later today) its £5 entrance next
Thursday night for anybody with an Ebor Race meeting ticket for any
of the 4 days of the meeting.

ealand road estate not very nice but nearly all have sky dishes.

Theres absolutly no such estate in Batley my friend so get your facts right

Ealand Road, Ealand Ave, on the Wilton Estate.

Not sure what the point being made is, just thought I'd throw in a little geography.

i was pointing out that lots of sky dishes sold in batley.
forgot the name, wilton estate. sorry
ehole. full of dole scroungers and chavs. lots of asbo boys there.

Now Fieldhead, Chickenley or Dewsbury Moor, theres eholes for you, almost approaching the levels of eholeness that Mixenden alludes to, that place needs to be pushed into the Reservoir to clean it up

agree with you there on those as hated working on those estates. but not the areas as a whole, just certain parts.
same goes for mixenden, flats and few parts of the top end are eholes. as the last few nights have proved.

What do you do???? that brings you round local housing estates.

Wiltons OK of late, my other half grew up on Anne Street, her mum lived there 30 years until she emigrated, her dad until he passed away, her brother still lives there

The Asbo types you mention and were reported in the local rag actually came from further up Carlinghow, Fairview avenue, they came onto Wilton to cause trouble, most on Wilton own their homes now and its improving all the time, I grew up on Woodsome Estate and was part of the infamous "Woodsome Warriors" in the early to mid 70's, that estate was gradually taken over by the Asians and is now a very fine and clean estate, councils chuck money away at Asian residential areas round here.

i dont do anything now workwise. but spent the last three years or so of working life having to put up with abuse etc around the estates of batley and attended several community meetings in the area for reports on who was where and doing what in those areas.

Did you ever see the regeneration and rebuilding of "Tin Town" Healey Estate

worked in batley from about 2006. noticed a lot of work done up there.
