ovenden - sloping pitch, fenced off, clubhouse on site / greetland - ditto / ovenden - ditto / siddal - ditto / brighouse - ditto (but flat pitch) / elland - ditto / illingworth - ditto...........all same as old crocs as indeed many other rugby union grounds who one way or another have supported rugby league in the past..rather than treat it with contempt like old crocs recently !

Let me get this straight,are you saying halifax rlfc and there supporters should behave in the same way as the ru club have behaved ?.

I MYSELF USED TO PLAY FOR KING CROSS, AND ALTHOUGH I DONT AGREE IN THE SLIGHT WHAT THEY DID TO THE RL PART OF CROCS, I SEE NO PROBLEM IN FAX USING THEIR FACILITIES FOR 1 GAME!



JEEZ

Rugby League clubs are best supporting amateur Rugby League clubs and not give any money to the code that has tried its hardest to finish our game. Never trust Union people in my experience-set of liers in many cases.

apologies as i dont understand what you mean by this ? what i mean is simple, haliax rlfc should not be supporting rugby union clubs and in particular this club by taking their games to their grounds and swelling their coffers over the bar !

Even in the 21st Century there are many dinoraurs in union who still vue Rugby League as a troublesome illegitemate child

your absolutely right in what you say RL needs to look after RL.



But Surely its against the laws of the land for the RFU to behave in this manner as far as grants are concerned as the O/P has suggested?.

Does the O/P know for fact that any of the grounds available on the day of the game meet rfl standards for under 23 games?.

Sorry but this sounds like a bitter rant similar to what iv'e come out with once or twice lol.

Are they supporting this club or are they just playing a match on one of ther pitches?.

It must be my naivaty but if your post is right then ignore my other posts.

it really is ridiculous that people can still try to justify this behaviour in this day and age.

by playing the game at their ground and drinking in the bar is supporting this club.............just like every amateur rugby league club who has a bar of its own.........selling beer etc is its the biggest income stream...........!!



hence the reason why taking the game there is wrong and urge you not to swell their coffers by drinking in their bar !......................

Believe me The Old Crossleyans is Halifax's very own Jurasic Park. I have had first hand expeirience of it when my sons played for King Cross there

There will come a time when you all need to stop behaving and thinking like this.
