They clearly meet the standards required to enter the completion.

They've played Sheffield and Toronto before in the CC and hosted both. They'll limit ticket sales to a number and that will be that. People will have to park and walk. (Sad thing is it won't be accessible for those fans with disabilities)

Part of me though thinks good on them, it's a tough place to play and they want every advantage they can get.

Great experience for some of our lads

They can get experience at Belle Vue and earn more money.

Been a few times to watch my grandson and boy what views outa their club house windows , beats ours any day of the week . Good on them for sticking to their guns as the cacophony of moaners and groaner grew ever louder . Where am I going to park , where am I going to sit , all the usual dross from the entitled. For me it’s simple if your not happy with any aspects of the game ,don’t go , but don’t put the mockers on a club that will have been buzzing from the minute our name got pulled out of the hat , it’s what dreams are made up of for clubs like these . There choice respect it , simple .

I respect your comments and your rights to express it… I wholeheartedly disagree, but that’s my choice!

It's not even confirmed where and when the match will be played yet, I am sure official confirmation from the
club will be announced soon.

Can't fault Siddall in wanting to play at their home ground, but logistically, I can't see it happening.

Its not just the lack of facilities for the number of people, but its also down a country lane and lack of parking.

I've heard that there is another cold snap on the way too, possibly for late next week. Could be a bit bleak up there with a bit of the white stuff.

It is their choice (unless safety fears trump it) and I do respect it. Ultimately it comes down to a choice between dreams and pragmatism for them...the dream of a potential giant killing at home, or the reality of a lucrative great day out (with just as much chance of a giant killing).
Whichever route they choose I hope they have a great day...but no giant killing!

Understood. Seems though (and history backs up) they value a home tie more than the money

Re: Siddal : Thu Feb 01, 2024 10:13 am  

If the expected cold snap comes late next week as expected, this game won't be on full stop.

Yes it’s called winter Eastern , just like it is every year around this time . It’s down a country lane leading to a village , don’t tell me we have all gone that soft as to not be able to park and walk a few 100 yards, and when you do get to the ground there is plenty of room pitch side for push chairs , wheelchair ,the whole shebang
