I would think that reagrdless of Fax being there the walkup crowd should give it a boost. if we are there hopefully more of the 'missing millions' will return for a one-off on their doorstep and if we aren't there then quite a few Fax fans will come along to support the day.
Should be a win-win butthe parking round my house will be rubbish unless I only have to put up with the Seagulls taxi(might be a mini-bus these days).

By public transport I presume you mean train? Do you attend every away game by train?

What variety of things would you like to do?

Oh right, I can understand your disappointment, you’ll not find anything like that in Leigh were far to upmarket.

I think it's a great idea & stuff the SL clubs & footy grounds, they've had enough of our money over the years. I'd love to see a packed out Shat stadium but i doubt it more's the shame. I certainly hope we reach & win the final and unless am sulking if we don't get through i'll probably attend as a neutral if we don't make it.
Sort of makes me a little bit proud, 'cos we've got fantastic facilities at our community stadium nowadays. Well done to all concerned, Calderdale council DO NOT LET US DOWN for the NRC final or the world cup game.

I agree that it's good for financial reasons however looking at the finals crowds there are always more people who go to these!!! My only concern is that If its held at the shay these glory fans will not turn out so normal fan base!! (if we get there) which the other team will have a day out coming to us so they may outnumber us!!! Just a thought

I think it's brilliant, well done to the board and everyone responsible.
Just think, Friday afternoon and evening in the Towns hostelries, the night in the new Premier Inn, breakfast at Wetherspoon The Percy Shaw, on to Harvey's see if Ben Black is still waitering, and then make our way to the ground, via The Barum Top, the Pump Room, Ring o Bells, 3 pigeons finishing of at the South Stand Bar, bribe the stewards to let us into the East Stand bar to watch Scott Murrell accept the Trophy, back into Town A few drinks and then a Taxi home.
It will be just like Blackpool all the sand on the pitch, but no braying donkeys, Town fans will not attend.
Just think a Taxi home after a game, just like the Seagulls.
