phildog Posted May 11, 2021 Share Posted May 11, 2021 Kirklees are in charge, up to them but you'd hope a 1000 minimum to start with. Roll on Swinton... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kevin Nicholas Posted May 11, 2021 Share Posted May 11, 2021 I am aware Dewsbury have had initial discussions with Kirklees and the result is not promising. We are hoping to have a meeting with Kirklees on Thursday if possible but we are dreading it. We only have one home game v Swinton before 21/6 so that is some relief only applying to this game but it is more challenging for the Rams. I am in constant contact with Mark in the hope we can help each other. My biggest worry is that significant restrictions continue in place after 21/6 which would be a total disaster. i understood we would be allowed 50% of capacity which is the headline but reality it seems is totally different as social distancing rules seem to make that totally unachievable. Hopefully I am being too pessimistic but I don’t think so on what I hear so far. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fredm Posted May 12, 2021 Share Posted May 12, 2021 I see that Bulls have now moved their match against Newcastle which was down for this weekend to the free weekend in June. They had originally agreed to play it Monday night instead of Sunday so spectators could attend but say the crowd will be bigger on the Sunday afternoon in June. Why don’t we do the same?

Wakefield council have agreed a 3,500 capacity for Castleford, who have around the same seating as us , is it just kirklees that are playing it tight Kevin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kevin Nicholas Posted May 12, 2021 Share Posted May 12, 2021 Until we actually meet Kirklees face to face at our stadium it is difficult to say. Public Health have a meeting today to discuss their approach to us so we will just have to wait and see. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Latest Gov guidelines (from April 2021) are a max of 50% full capacity. For the numbers given, Fev equates to ca20%, Cas 30% and Wake 50%. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
