What are the special dispensations the club mention on their post?

We could do with knowing what these dispensations are. Will wait on ordering my ticket for the final until we have full clarification.

I want to support the team, but i'm not putting money into an RFL organised event if most of the squad are backing up from Sheffield away on a Thursday night vs a full time outfit with the week off. Its as simple as that.

Just thinking back 50 years....a midweek game......Lancs cup,BBC 2,even Captain Morgan and Aussies,NZ,cup replays.......was nothing unusual at all.

I know your going to say the gamei is harder tougher now than then

Well yes at full time SL level but not at the part time Championship level

Part time and pay as you train and play was the top level of the game.

Some of the games in the Championship are no harder than training sessions and some weekends -no fixture.

I can see why it is not the best but ........get on with it !!!!

I think the special dispensations are that we can get more and play more loan players than is usually allowed. But we’re still going to have to pay for any loan players we get, so it’s going to cost us more to play this game.
