As a matter of interest, does anybody ( Jerroll?) have any knowledge of such a change of venue situation having ever happened to us before?

before my time we played a game on the old Astroturf pitch at Loftus Road!As mentioned afterwards we played Carlisle at Morecambe in trophy in 05!

We played Carlisle in the Trophy at Morecambe when their pitch was under water

Oh yes, I remember that one now.
Any others?

Yea can only think of the Carlisle game as well.
Might have been a herts cup/ middlesex game moved as well?? (John will confirm im sure)

So perhaps the first time ever for a league match.

[letchbee94]

Good that the change has been announced early anyway .

Yea.
Nearest I can think of is when we played Brighton at Gillingham in the late 90s but that was different scenirio.

the game at qpr was a Alliance Premier League game vs AP Leamington in 1981

That was their home for the 2 seasons we played them there!

Glad something has been sorted. Hope doesn't cost any travelling fans too much, looks like you should be able to change at Leeds, if time/connections allow. Kudos to you! Be a strange experience I'm sure and be interesting how many Halifax make the trip for a massive game for them.

The National League has no excuse for not scheduling more games earlier in the season next season. It seems so obvious to use the Tuesdays in summer)autumn to get games in. This doesn't sound like Halifax's fault but could have been avoided. It's rubbish that we only have two games left but may still need to wait for Gateshead to play more games, otherwise we'd be able to rotate team on Saturday ready for the play offs in mind. Let's get out of this tinpot league!

logic says at least 1 extra week finishing last sat in April and an extra festive fixture with boxing day being thursday so play Thursday Sunday Wednesday

This also now sets a precedent. All eyes now on Gateshead and how they intend to fulfil their fixtures

Their pitch isn't a mud bath like Halifax just had too much rain on Tuesday same as we had for Eastleigh call off! Their biggest worry is away game at Fylde

I was thinking it was late. I admire your resilience. I hope you make your connections.

Though it seems far from Yorkshire to Lancashire (with my poor geography) there appears to be decent connections and at not too unreasonable an additional fare so hopefully it works for our travellers.

All in all a sensible solution.

Gateshead and Halifax are going to be knackered come the playoffs.
