Tickets still available, not for me I am touring Portugal and Spain back towards the end of next week. All the messages on here about playing it at Siddal ( which is their prerogative) and lack of tickets etc. well it looks like Siddal can back their decision

Conversely I think a lot of people won’t bother because it is at Siddal. Afterall we took 1500 or thereabouts to York yesterday which is further afield. Their choice though and I’m sure come kick off all 500 will be sold from trinity.

The officials for the Challenge Cup game are

Referee L Bland
Touch Judges M Claton & S Quarmby
Reserve Referee J Brook
Time Keeper A Hardcastle

I can honestly say that I have never heard of Mr Bland He is listed as being from Leeds

Well still tickets left after the uproar last week.....

Re: Siddal : Tue Feb 06, 2024 4:11 pm  

I'd be going if there was seating.

Re: Siddal : Tue Feb 06, 2024 4:50 pm  

We'd be going if it was in a proper stadium with a guarantee of actually seeing the action as the wife is under 5 ft and wouldn't be happy staring at someone's back in the pouring rain for 2 hours !!

Same here. I’m not paying to be squeezed at ground level like a sardine.

I can see why people aren't to fussed about going to be fair. I am going though, just hope it's not too cold!

This is the consequence of playing it at Siddal
No one’s really that enticed by what they’ll experience there

It’s 100% their choice, good luck to them but it still doesn’t make sense

As a 6'1" perfect physical specimen, wearing extra thermals, two wooly hats, thick socks, doc marts and using the club provided transport I'll be enjoying the day.
