A lot of reasoned debate on here about the merits of playing the game. A look on the Town forum and I wonder if they have 2 brain cells to rub together between them.

Pitch would have passed an inspection.

I think Fax should go out of their way to arrange another home friendly even if its just to have a look at some of the under players.

Im baffled by the people criticising the Giants statement, given that our statement shows plenty frustration at the situation too. If anything it seemed to me like the Giants were supporting Faxs position againgst the council. http://www.halifaxrlfc.co.uk/news/artic ... -postponed

It's all about the giants. We've lost out far more than they have, programme printing for e.g. They weren't even sending a decent team over so shouldn't be moaning about that. If they were so concerned about the postponement where's the offer to play the match at their ground? Hang on....they're tenants like us aren't they? Stuff 'em!

What Tim Swift has said on Twitter has suggested that the groundsman had some say in the game been called off and I think he should have a say in debating the condition of the pitch. What we have though is a vested interest with a groundsman who is well known to be a big town fan. Maybe it is time to bring in a neutral where an impartial decision can be made.

I don't know what the state of the pitch was like this morning but considering the rainfall we've had over the last few months and the fact that it was a friendly......one for the credit bank and I'm sure that a more hard headed approach would be taken if it were a league match.

Now GFB makes an important point here, if we're dealing with a groundsman who's got a big fat chip on his shoulder he needs to be taken out of the equation.
