He’s right that the game should go ahead. Lets hope BV is passed fit to play but if not you’d like to think we’ve already made enquiries about alternative venues. Dewsbury don’t play until Sunday. I’m sure it could cope with with the mass hoards of travelling Huddersfield fans.

Re: Huddersfield next : Wed Mar 01, 2023 12:57 pm  

For me this-

Gaskell
Murphy
Hall
Langi
Kershaw
Smith
Lino
Butler
Hood
Battye
Ashurst
Pitt’s
Crowther

Whitbread
Atoni
Windrow
Kay

Can't help but agree. The comments I've seen from supporters, other clubs and the shear disregard the media have for us, plus the constant rubbish seasons, a spell in the championship might not be so bad.

Problem is I can’t ever see us been let back in if we go out of super league.
End of the day we’re not liked.
If only we could find a money man.
Current owners have taken as far as I can see them doing and that’s not a dig. Without them we’d be gone by now.
Amazing the pitch is now hated by others but Widnes never had got to have pitch inspections and that was just as bad to play on. Ours will be great in a few months.

Much the same and worse on any sporting media sites , at least RL fans can stand within touching distance without wanting to kill each other , which certainly can’t be said for our countries national game . Even the cricket has seen bloodshed on the streets . A few nameless , faceless vile human beings trolling certainly aren’t going to take away my or my families enjoyment of the game . I suggest those that find these silly comments too harrowing, just press the off button on your device ,and hey presto , it all Goes away like magic .

Denis Betts would disagree and that was from 2015! He's not the only one either in recent times....seen a lot of posts on social media from fans of other teams saying the same but the Belle Vue pitch has been dreadful for a long time now and badly needed replacing. Was fantastic back in the day but hasn't been for many years....

It's not nice what's happening at present and something which hopefully changes pretty quick....I suffered similar years and years ago from a graze I got training on an artificial surface.....I kept on playing every week which wasn't quite long enough for it to heal so kept knocking the scab off before it ended up getting infected and resulted in a visit to a walk in centre with an ankle swelled up like a tennis ball...

That’s all well and good but Betts is referring to the pitch under Carters regime, in which he’s refused to spend any money on maintaining it.

It was the best playing surface in the game for over a hundred years, it didn’t suddenly deteriorate for no reason!

I think what you mean is the 'best looking' playing surface, the pitch at most times was like concrete, and definately not the best in regards to underfoot

Criminal lack of funding from Carter!

Talking to Minards the sub soil was still in cracking condition hence why it was left in

Spending some money on regular watering, putting quality grass seed down, regularly feeding the pitch with the correct type of feed, hiring a plugging machine to help the soil breath and aid drainage would have fixed all of the so called problems with the pitch. These were all things that we’ve managed to do no matter what the financial position the clubs been in, that is until Carter took the decision to starve Steve Dutton of the money he needed to do his job properly.

Stupid, short sighted and a typically bloody minded, bigoted decision
