Easy walking distance with a few good pubs on the way. Probably 3/4 mile and 8 pints walk.

Cheers. I should have really took up the free coach offer but too late now. Not been to an away game in a while but i had a good feeling about this one.

Its a bus replacement service from Hebden Bridge to Halifax at weekends, the bus stops opposite the train station, just turn right at the bottom of the road and the ground is 1/2 mile down the road.

4000 seems to be the target figure but is that a bit low?

If widnes bring 15 coaches plus cars etc that is around 1000 fans/ Barrow brought a few on sunday but there were still over 2500 Fax fans in - can't see many who witnessed that game thinking sod it I won't bother this week.

Should and could we aim for 5000?

In fact between these two great RL towns let's put Super League crowds to shame this weekend/
I'm bringing an extra couple from North Derbyshire so let's all try and do the same. Bring a friend, bring an enemy, bring your wife, bring your girlfriend, hell bring em both,! but make sure they have something blue and white and can shout their heads off for 80 minutes

LET'S FILL THE SHAY!!!

Amen to that brother.

Imagine 4-5 thousand at the shay in a cauldron and noise, colour and inflatable dolls. Lets show em lads.

It's a shame actually I think the only way Blackpool would have been close to a sell out is if it was a Fax V Widnes final. Wasn't to be though!

Looking forward to Sunday, I just hope we turn up.

Well - first half against Fev was as good as it's been for a long time, and Fev had 4 sets on our line in the first 10 minutes and we were 28-0 up at half time.

But only 3 weeks ago we let a good lead go and got 40 points put on us by Batley. So your guess is as good as mine!
