[quote="Big lads mate":2w93jvfx]Got to be better for both clubs especially Goole, hope they get a decent pay day, on a selfish note I’ll be making one in now [/quote:2w93jvfx] Completely makes sense. RFL had the right idea with matching like this but wrong venues. All should be hosted at SL club which should inject much needed thousands into the amateur clubs. Hopefully plenty of Trinity fans and Goole fans turn out.

[quote="WT_Midlander":15tecpft]On the Goole Vikings website it says: "Due to ongoing redevelopment works at Victoria Pleasure Ground, both clubs have agreed to reverse the fixture to Wakefield Trinity’s home ground in the interest of spectator safety and to maximise attendance." If that genuinely is the case, and the ground would have a very limited capacity due to redevelopment work - then fair enough. But if it's just to try and get a bit more money, then that's a bit short-sighted. A big home crowd at Goole, would really have set the new club up well, as got the town's folk inspired.[/quote:15tecpft] Perhaps they'll play at home in the next round!

[quote="Richard1":r9h4w226]Agree with this. They could have showcased themselves to their town, and tried to build off it. They have missed a massive chance to promote themselves early in their existence for me.[/quote:r9h4w226] They could also build up the game to get tonked in front of a lot of prospective new fans who are less likely to return. I’d rather build up and aim for a good crowd in what would more likely be a more equally competitive fixture. Then there’s the better pitch, facilities and potential income. Correct decision for all parties imo.
