Do we know why they aren’t offering catering etc.
I was wandering if it was a rule in this league they had to.
Does anybody know if they are offering catering in the home end……if they are, questions to be asked.

The original statement does say there will  be no catering available throughout the ground.

I think the catering and bars are run in agreement with Calderdale council. Before the first game against Maidenhead, they had said that neither catering nor bars would be available, but then it was reversed to say that there would be catering although the bars would  still be shut. They had tweeted on the 20th to say that  a new catering agreement was due to be finalised with the council over the next couple of weeks, but that the kiosks would be open last Saturday.  Possibly that is harder to arrange for a Bank Holiday?

Replying to my own.
Rule…..2.5.2 of the National league says
Refreshment facilities MUST be available to spectators in each separate area of the ground.
These maybe of a mobile type.
Very interesting

£40 for admission and coach that's one expensive trip

On the plus side it's cash only (a bit more than the £8 we paid in the 90's) - made my day! :)

Reminds me of that quip someone made about the old club (Halifax "2.5p in the pound" Town f.c.) when they were being wound up - "Brilliant Butties of Hebden Bridge"! We won it 3 times...

I would suggest that it is our bounden duty to arrive as early as possible, and come with sufficient cash to pay every admission charge ENTIRELY in pound coins (or even a few smaller denominations). We have a few days to build up the required coin stock....

Go to the bank (remember them?) and ask for a load of coppers!

No refreshments anywhere in the ground. I suspect they use outside caterers, and they've asked for silly money to work the Bank Holiday.
