There's still highlights footage around of last years CC tie Siddal v Sheffield Eagles for those who've never been to Siddal's ground.
No shot of the players pitch side chairs though.

Up until Matt Ellis took us over, Siddal would have been in a far healthier financial position than us so maybe financial benefits of playing at BV are not a consideration for them.

Been a few times to watch my grandson and boy what views outa their club house windows , beats ours any day of the week . Good on them for sticking to their guns as the cacophony of moaners and groaner grew ever louder . Where am I going to park , where am I going to sit , all the usual dross from the entitled. For me it’s simple if your not happy with any aspects of the game ,don’t go , but don’t put the mockers on a club that will have been buzzing from the minute our name got pulled out of the hat , it’s what dreams are made up of for clubs like these . There choice respect it , simple .

Not good for disabled fans though!

What’s to stop people travelling and watching from outside? There doesn’t look to be much in the way of high fencing to stop anyone watching?

I suspect nothing at all, it's a very easy wall to climb over by the looks of things

Shocking decision

Re: Siddal : Thu Feb 01, 2024 6:23 pm  

Can the RFL confirm that the Siddal ground is safe for players and fans (particularly disabled and elderly)? Really???

As a safety professional, I highly doubt their assessment!

Re: Siddal : Thu Feb 01, 2024 6:25 pm  

Definitely not going, stood at the side of the Siddall pitch many a time, not a cat in hells chance of watching the game unless only one row of speckies at pitch side
