FROM A FRIEND OF MINE A TOWN FAN, IN THE KNOW APPARANTLY,

"The game will not be played at the Shay as HXRLFC have already booked the stadium facilities for a function due to the impending Super League licensing announcement celebrations/commiserations.

To put it simply, The Shay cannot accommodate a game and a function at the same time. Obviously a party is more important to HXRLFC than a scheduled youth game, hence zero explanation on the official site."

THE PITCH SCENARIO SEEMS ALOT MORE LIKELY TO ME.

THE Town Friend mentioned above is NOT in the know
Halifax RLFC has NOT booked any function at the Shay this week apart from a room tomorrow to accomodate Calendar and Sky sports for the Super League announcement.

The reason for the fixture change is all down to pitch usage

Yes, a lot of pitches could. Skircoat Green moor for example has about 10 games a weekend played on each pitch. And two people aren't employed to look after it.

Which pitch?

Skircoat Green Moor?

Re: Thursday's u23 match off : Wed Mar 30, 2011 9:22 pm  

So once promoted this will not be an issue?

What has happened to the "groundstaff do a fantastic job" brigade? In this weather the pitch cant take those games? You really are kidding me. I remember this been a problem in the past and one ex director threatening to take them over to Wakefield, a pitch that had much more usage, so they could learn how to look after a pitch properly. Needless to say that didnt go down too well.

You have a friend who is a Town fan?
Somethings best kept to yourself.
