Fax fans urged to ‘bring a friend’ as North Wales Crusaders head to The Shay
Halifax Panthers will be welcoming North Wales Crusaders to The Shay this Sunday (March, 22, kick off 3pm) in their second game back in the Betfred Championship.
It is just over two weeks since the RFL granted membership to a new-look Halifax Panthers club - with their first game back at home to league leaders London Broncos generating a lot of fanfare and excitement.
Despite a brave defeat in front of over 2,000 fans at The Shay, head coach Kyle Eastmond insisted a “special bond” was building amongst his small squad.
And with reduced ticket prices in place again for this weekend’s Round 7 contest with the Crusaders, the club wants another strong home crowd in place.
Posting on the Panthers’ official Facebook page, the club said: “Don’t forget tickets are at a discounted rate again for this week - so bring a friend, bring a family member and let’s get the same atmosphere we had at last week’s game back again.”
East Stand tickets are priced at: Adults £18; 16 to 21-year-olds £15; concessions (66+) £16; under 16s £5; and under 11s £2.
An East Stand family ticket, for two adults and two under 16s, is priced at £35.
South Stand tickets are priced at: Adults £15; 16 to 21-year-olds £10; concessions (66+) £12; under 16s £5; and under 11s £2.
A South Stand family ticket, for two adults and two under 16s, is priced at £30.
North Wales currently sit 14th in the 20-team division, winning two and losing three of their opening five league outings. Their most recent game resulted in a 30-16 home defeat against Batley Bulldogs.
Former Fax winger Greg Eden is in the Crusaders’ ranks and has notched seven tries so far in this season’s Championship.
