We were told the groundstaff wanted either a double header on sunday or games on fri and sunday,when decision made to play sat and sun groundstaff went to Durham to watch Town n weren't working on sunday!Time sumone gave them a kick up the bum and reminded them that supporters of both teams pay there wages,they are employed as groundstaff for the ground n not just Town and that the "ground "covers more than just the pitch.The water was cascading of both ends of the South stand on sunday at this rate that stand will need millions spending on it when the East is finished because it is just being left to deteriorate.How much would it cost to get some down piping adn fix it up to avoid this.Stadium management-couldn't manage a trip round John Smiths!

dont know how they can go on about the state of the pitch, total bozzo's, i still play football on a saturday, and i know where the pitch gets knackerd, in each goal mouth u will find bare patches, on what ever pitch u play on this time of the year,, it just so happens they found a pic of gleeson scoring a try in that very patch,ohh lets blame the rugby for that, sorry boys but u r so so wrong, football does more damage then rugby, get used to the fact,,, and get used to the fact we use the pitch, we pay rent, so wine on as much as u like, we have a first class team, going places, not a second rate pub team, going nowhere

don't think more can be done about the pitch to be honest.

it is the minority of people that complane about the rugby so dont call f.c halifax town a second rate pub team.

least we never golt relegated from a division with no points before did we.

if your going to call my first club a pub team i will take the mick about us getting relegated without a single point. now can we stop having a dig at each other as much as we can and just get on with what we do.

plus it has nothing to do with football the mud patches in the goals they could have done something about it but halifax town had not played on that pitch for a month at the time.

The rugby club only play 14 games on the pitch all season, FC Halifax Town play over 30, so who is doing more damage?

ok fair enough on most of your points, we can end them there,, but for the last one, sorry cant agree, the mud patches are all down to the football in the goal area, i know as i am a goalkeeper and play every saturday, and i know what happens in the goal erea, all goal mouths are like that this time of the year,,,

The Soccer Muppets would be best supporting their team that CONTINUALLY fails to impress at even Pub League Standards instead of looking to blame Fax or the game of Rugby League for the Pitch.
Thing is its not a uniqure problem to us. Huddersfield Giants, Wigan, hull FC have all problems with the Soccer lot who blame them for this that and the other or create problems

The 'Soccer Muppets' are challenging for promotion this season. What are 'Fax challenging for?

Town are challenging but will not get promotion. The crowds will drop again and they will remain in the Pub League forever more. Halifax Town are going nowhere and nothing more than what a large number of the fans deserve. Its a shame on the decent fans that they not only have a poor team that continually fails even at the lowest levels but has such fans that blame everybody but the soccer club and players

As for maintinence (or lack of it) Did anyone see all the water pouring off the roof of the southstand on Sunday? In the corner where the Away team and ref enter the field.

I got snowed on sitting in the middle of the Skirtcoat Stand on Sunday!

My worry is, that while the East Stand will get finished off, the rest of the ground will detioriate furthur.

How many other Council Owned Facilities are on the same downhill slope, schools ect.

If the Town Hall's condition was to get in such a mess, the person in charge of maintinence would surely have their competancy questioned. Same goes for any other council owned building no?
