And thats one of my main points it doesnt affect me i and i wouldnt be going anyway but there should be opportunity for everyone to attend

Seems Siddals 8am ticket announcement was to say that tickets are available from Siddals Clubhouse doesnt mention anything for tickets for Wakefield so seemingly if you want to go you have to go to Siddal to purchase tickets.
Im sure the club may have some news to put out later regarding ticketing, but thats the stance so far

Unless people are absolutely blinkered we do have 'group' of people that attend our games, who can be a little untuly at times. If no tickets are available i can see climbing over that small stone wall as a temptation to some.

Thought he's always been like that Ketty.....

A stupid question deserves a stupid answer , it’s on a playing field not the north face of the Eiger , lots of people bring folding chairs to games especially those less mobile .

These old pit fitters were always a bit on the soft side

Yes when thers about 50 people there not 1000 you work it out go get a camping chair and sit there see what the view is like

I will also add that awswell people with mobility issues been discrimimated against but so are youngsters as under 16s tickets can only be purchased with an adult ticket so great waybtobgtow the game

Wakefield have been allocated 500 tickets for this match. Available from the club shop on 03/02/24 after 9am

With only 500 tickets on sale, I presume there will be a restriction, either 1 0r 2 tickets per person ?

Steady on Ketty or me an Sanders will be knocking on your door

You’ve said this a couple of times now “if you don’t like it, stay away”
What if people don’t want to miss the game but are excluded from seeing it by the limited number of tickets, no disabled facilities or are just unable to stand for 80 minutes or so.

If it was the only option, if there wasn’t a better alternative then it ouldnt be helped but there are options

It's their choice. There is always the possibility of not getting a ticket even if it were played at BV.
If people want to go they need to get their ti set early.

That’s not really truthful is it.
If it were played at Belle Vue or Halifax’s stadium the attendance wouldn’t outstrip the number of tickets and no one who wanted to go would have to miss out, also any Disabled spectators would also be accommodated.

Probably, or even most likely, but there is always a limit.
It's hardly fair to make demands on them just because we have a bigger stadium.
Would it have been fair for Leeds to force us to move when we had reduced attendance last year?

If they'd rather keep home attendance at the expense of income, then it's their choice.

I bet Ketty is shaking in his shoes....

Excludes me due to not being able to stand. Thought rugby was supposed to be all inclusive

I would imagine for a big SL club it probably wouldn't. But Wakey are Championship, so fair play to Siddal for exercising their right to choose.

It is what it is now and I think people should accept that it's Siddal's choice, move on and stop whineing all over the place. A few fans are getting the lot of us tarred with the same entitled brush that Bradford have been saddled with since their fall from grace.

Those who are lucky enough to get tickets can turn up and share a great day with the home fans.

I agree it's Siddals choice as the home side to play the game where they wish, it's also peoples right to have an
opinion on that without being labelled as moaners. This forum is about expressing opinions, as long as they stay within
the AUP they are free to do just that.

I’m not nor am I in a position to make demands on the Siddal club, I’m simply debating the reasoning and lack of sense, imo, in their decision to play it at their amateur club

Exactly, and the definition of moaning for some people seems to be simply having discussions, seeking clarification or being disappointed because they can’t attend.

I personally haven’t seen anything I would class as moaning, I haven’t seen anything that would be disrespectful either to Siddal.

There’s no need for a white knight to come in and try and save the world.

Hopefully it will be a good game for the spectators and run without issue.

Glad you mentioned Bradford mate, when we first got back into SL we drew the Bulls at home in the cup & they whinged and whined that we couldn’t accommodate all their (glory) fans at Belle Vue. Richardson quite rightly refused to switch the game to Odsal. Whether it makes sense or not, it’s Siddals call.

I agree with what you are saying.
However, Halifax wont host Siddal for free and would no doubt want to keep any bar / refreshment takings (as we probably would).
Thet earn the right to stage the game and assuming it can be held in a safe environment, job done.

None of us have the "right" to attend every game and whatever their facilities are, their own fans will be well used to them, albeit, next week will be their biggest home crowd for some while and possibly ever.

It would be great if the game could be streamed in some way, which would give everyone who wants to watch, an opportunity to see the game.
