I have just read that statement. How can the club expect anyone to buy season tickets when on one hand they are advertising both South stand and east stand prices, then in the match day programme a director states they don't know if south stand open or if we will even play from the shay.

Just crazy club suicide. If Keighley is the option then simply half the attendances. I with my family walk to the ground 15 minutes away. Not a chance we will drive over to cougar park every other week.

Utter shambles all round at moment and some proper information needs to be forthcoming.Only crumb of comfort is the positive mood of the trust after their recent meeting.But their reluctance to inform us on here is another sad indigment of our club.

Is it not possible that the statement in the programme was written mid week and the issue you had been resolved by the weekend and then that swhen they advertised the season ticket prices??

That's perfectly possible. If only we knew.

If that's the case would it not be a five minute job to set the scene, stop the rumours and encourage people to part with their cash.

All it takes is a few reassurances, not confusion and contradictions.

Buy in the South Stand and sit in the East Stand, what a bargain.

Steele's programme notes suggest that the south stand will be closed permanantly if the club stays at the shay.

That would be suicide as it would alienate a lot of fans, me included and would reduce the atmosphere how bad would it be for the lads to play to two empty ends of the ground? Picture the scene the Bullsh8ts celebrating a try in front of their fans in the North stand and Fax having nobody in the South stand to celebrate with???

At this point, I'd be happy to have a club to celebrate scoring a try with......

There's no atmosphere generated anyway. Just the occasional whimper of "Oh Hali Hali"!

Season tickets will fall to around half of this seasons. Giving an average official attendance of 1300 a game.
Realistically, we will maybe only need to open the South or North vs Bradford.
Featherstone fans don't bring any bother anymore & Leigh have gone to the promised land.

I have bought a season ticket since 1999 SL4 - I want to get one for 2017 but I want to know:-

A) Will we be playing at The Shay and if not where will we be playing?

B) If we remain at The Shay will we be confined to the East Stand or not?

I am waiting until after Christmas to purchase a ticket if I buy one at all - if we are exiled from Halifax or we have to sit down all time may just pick and choose games. Its not a question of loyalty not throwing money away!!!

Come on Fax playing loyalty card to get people to part with their hard earned and then acting like the 'North Korean information bureau' when we want to know owt real......

Sundays programme notes suggest all will be revealed on Monday when season tickets are officially launched.IMO there is no real alternative to the Shay and it's suicide to consider another option.
