And I’ll say it again,
I cannot see any logic or sense in Siddal choosing to play it at their home ground.
The Challenge Cup against a club that at this moment in time has huge momentum amongst its fan base, who would likely have sold 3,000+ tickets if at a stadium which allowed it. That would have offered Siddal a decent financial windfall.
Their players would have experienced something new, had a big day in front of a big crowd in a professional setting. A day for them to savour and remember as opposed to changing in their regular changing rooms, playing on their home pitch and experiencing just a slightly bigger crowd than normal.
I can only imagine that they somehow feel playing at home will give them a chance of winning the game, I can’t see any other motive for sacrificing the benefits of playing elsewhere.
But, I fully respect that it’s their choice, they are totally within their rights to make the decision they’ve made and I can shake my head at it till it falls off, it’s still their prerogative to make the decision.
