The date and kick-off time remain as previously scheduled – Sunday 7 June at 3pm.

As was reported earlier in the week, the change of venue has been proven necessary by the extensive pitch renovation work currently being carried out at Heywood Road.

We’d like to thank Wigan Warriors RLFC, in particular Kris Radlinski, Andy Birch and Neill Russell, for their assistance in making the Edge Hall Road Stadium available to us at short notice.

We’d also like to thank Halifax Panthers and the RFL for their cooperation in ensuring that the fixture gets played on the date as originally scheduled.

We’ll be back at Heywood Road for our home game versus Doncaster in July, but ahead of that we hope that our fans will support the Lions in good numbers at Edge Hall Road, which is a splendid 3,000 capacity ground with 800 covered seats.

Match tickets may be purchased as usual via our website, whilst cash and card payments may be made at the gate on match day. Unfortunately we are not able to offer a hospitality option for this particular fixture.

We will provide further travel information, including options for car parking, as soon as possible.

Thank you as always for your patience and understanding, as well as your loyal support.
