Surely a club with SL aspirations should be able arrange things a bit better than what appears to be the case for Sunday's match.

Firstly, Widnes have asked for tickets to be sent to avoid congestion at the turnstyles. Apparantly Halifax have ignored these request so you have the prospect of 1,000+ Widnes fans all queing up around about the same time to pay to get in.

Secondly, Halifax are aware that 12-15 coaches will be coming from Widnes and the club have asked for confirmation of where best to park. As far as we are aware Halifax are yet to confirm this information.

Doesn't say much for the off the pitch set up does it?

Shouldnt you be taking this up with the club if your so concerned?

I remember not so long ago having to queue up at the Hobart Stadium in the reception area to buy a ticket to get into the game. ONE person was selling these!

Well the Taxi full they bring for the league fixture shouldnt affect anything from our end so no need for communication.

No it doesn't if true - can anybody at the club give a response please?

I hope that all the turnstiles are open for the match on Sunday.
Why not put the coaches in the B&M car park if they will agree (for a small fee I am sure they will), after letting the let fans off by the Shay Hotel.

As for paying at the gate... im sure we have 4 or 5 turnsyles for the North Stand, should be plenty for you all, provided you turn up early & not at 2:50!

Dont worry - you will all get in - there will be more than enough gates open - so we didnt give you any tickets to sell - big deal!

And as for the coaches - Are you driving one? If not why are you arsed?
