Siddal it is then
See you all in the queue outside the ticket office tomorrow at 6am.

What’s to stop people travelling and watching from outside? There doesn’t look to be much in the way of high fencing to stop anyone watching?

I suspect nothing at all, it's a very easy wall to climb over by the looks of things

Sidall head of security that day is the one and only kevin preston

Shocking decision

Can the RFL confirm that the Siddal ground is safe for players and fans (particularly disabled and elderly)? Really???

As a safety professional, I highly doubt their assessment!

Definitely not going, stood at the side of the Siddall pitch many a time, not a cat in hells chance of watching the game unless only one row of speckies at pitch side

Its crazy really hope daryll picks as strong side as possible and we absolutely slaughter them as the fact there playing at home makes them feel they have a chance

Been with both grandkids in last 2/3 years , it’s not easy parking anywhere nowadays , I’ve managed to get in the carpark no problem when I went with the wakefield Hawks . Id go so far as to say the club was run better than I’d seen at wakey at the time and I’m sure they’ll have burger vans n the whole shebang ready to lighten your wallet . It’s one game and will give the club such a buzz . Don’t forget without these grass root clubs the game would definitely die a death , we owe it to them after all, they won the right to entertain us fair n square

You got lucky with parking to be fair ive had many a issue and the road outside is narrow to say the least.you make some fair points but if your not in a postion to stand for 80 mins ya not going is that not discrimination and if you do go and you dont get a front row you not seeing much

Where are they going to situate the burger vans etc, if it's as bad as stated on here?

£10 a ticket, to stand on grass around a touchline, to watch a bunch of amateurs take us on, what planet are the Siddal people on ?

I don't think they are forcing you to go.

I think that's a fair price to watch the favourites to win the Championship.

Still think they'd be better playing it elsewhere though.

£10 a ticket x 1000 = £10,000 less costs then shared 50/50 between the clubs

What attendance do you think we’d get if it was at Belle Vue?
My guess is approx 5000 with a ticket price of say £16 = £80,000 less costs then shared 50/50

I’m going to be bold here, not arrogant but maybe tempting fate, they won’t beat us whether it’s played at Siddal or Belle Vue so why not make some money but more importantly give their players a great experience playing in front of a big crowd in a nice stadium.

Any way you look at it the decision to play at Siddal just doesn’t make sense

Can't even offer you my helicopter either BLM....
I won't be there anyway as I'll be out on the Razz in Holmfirth on an all-dayer....

Completely agree.

An amateur club drawing a top club is always about the money and experience.
They have little chance of winning but if they did its only another chance to get a big club and money. They are not going to keep going. So take the money and invest in the club.

But it isn’t as bad as stated , there was a breakfast hut situated down the side of the car park last time I visited and plenty of room for more if they so desire . We will be their for a few hrs at the most , a cracking club run way better than ours was by the looks , but by the sounds of this chat ,Siddal is sounding more like a gulag than an amateur club . You know us British we like a good moan about anything and everything .if people aren’t happy with the situation stay away , they probably don’t want or need negative people at the club pulling it to bits , boy we’ve had enough over the years dragging our club through the mire ,but if you do go , I think you’ll find a hidden gem of a club

Bring your own , it’s really not that hard is it really

Gone soft in your old age I see

5000 dream on against an amateur club switching a tie

What a stupid comment have you ever done that its not great viewing at the best of time your low down for a start people will keep been in front of you cos its going to be packed

Good on Siddal for wanting to stage the game. They must be buzzing about pulling a championship club at home. If the powers that be deem it to be safe then crack on. Been to Siddal loads and you can see why they are one of the best amateur clubs in the country. Don't get all the negativity towards them. Especially when our ground has been hanging on by a thread for ages. If the RFL deems it safe then all parties involved should be helping Siddal make it happen. It's a fantastic opportunity for a grassroots club to showcase themselves and make a few quid too.

Have to agree, more like 3,000 at 10 quid entry.

There is no negativity towards them. Just concerns over viewing, safety, ticket availability, parking and provisions. These are all valid questions for supporters who want to go support their team.

It’s been deemed acceptable to meet these demands (well perhaps not demand if ticketing is limited). If it does and people have a great day out that’s brilliant and justifies the decision but if not and there’s issues it will look like a poor decision and something to learn from.

Unable to stand to watch a game, rules me out of attending.
