I don't know how anyone can criticise Whitehaven for having the match abandoned. If a substation has cooked, it's hardly the fault of the club, now is it?

However, a replay at this juncture is, IMO, impractical. The costs to Halifax must be mounting. There must be another solution.

Rearranged for March 16th. Lord knows how they're going to do the draw.

Sad times

Edit: actually is our game not the day before the draw?

Something must be done to resolve this

Ring up Fat boy Wood and say we are Welsh or from London and Fax we get money and a place in SL! Seriously though not Whitehavens fault and they must be frustrated as anybody. They also have likely lost money on this game as likely crowd will be very low and likely have lost revenue from other areas as well. As for the fool that thinks Fax were on the rack well a game lasts 80 minutes not 10. And likely was going to be another tough game but certainly at 2-0 with 70 minutes to play you could never say it was over. I do believe the game has to be played 60 minutes for a result to stand, though maybe thats just amateur games

Yeah - we were on the rack at the HJ stadium in October until we grabbed the rack, pulled all it's wires of the frame and shoved each spike one by one up Featherstone's 'arris.

Didnt 'arris leave the season before?

The draw was to be made at half time in the Leigh v Featherstone game on March 10th - six days before the reported scheduled replay. (16th) Incidentally, 'Fax are at Toulouse on the 12th and 'Haven at home to Rochdale on the 13th. (weather and electricity supply permitting )
