Oooh really? I think it'll be a bit more, I'm gonna say 3862.

I think around 2900

Well, there's a dip in consumer confidence coupled with Keighley seemingly having a busted team. I think the crowd might be a bit down on what we'd hope for.

If we had the pleasure of seeing Workington do us a favour on Sunday then I'd like to think a healthy crowd would turn out for us against Hemel particularly if we were still behind York on points difference.

Newco bulls,

If you rock up the gate what is the price on the day?

No jokes please serious answers.

Cheers.

Yo sweet cheeks why don’t you let this young studd make you purr like the cougar you are?

You scratch my back and I’ll even take you somewhere classy like Nando’s.

Squad announced. No Chisholm and looks like Grant has also breing dropped. Good to see Mcnally in there and hopefully he can get a run of games under his belt now. Hopefully we've seen the last of having a winger & scrum half on the bench. Nice to see Storton in there and hopefully gets a crack.

Crossley
Egodo
Flanagan
Gibson
Green
Hallas
Keyes
Kirk
Lilley
McNally
Garside
Milton
Minchella
Peltier
Pickersgill
Pownall
Ryan
Storton
Wood

Interesting line up there. No Chisholm is the striking thing. Bustin still not back. Oakes injured so glad Gibson is fit but I hope Egodo partners Ryan on the left rather than him. McNally back is great to see. Would be surprised it Matty Storton is in the 17 but if he is I think a bit of youthful enthusiasm could help spark things.

I'd go for...

McNally
Pownall
Gibson
Egodo
Ryan
Keyes
Lilley
Crossley
Flanagan
Green
Minchella
Garside
Hallas

Wood
Peltier
Pickersgill
Storton

So do we know if Dane Chisholm is injured, or just dropped?

Keighley demonstrating their house tactics after 15 mins. They’re on a team warning already.

Keighley down to 12 as Rawlings is sent off. Good to see the referee not standing for this nonsense.

Dreadful errors being made. We look very rusty.

Another helping hand for the Newco with the red card. Always an uphill battle after that.

Few points:

As no one replied to the on the day cost I ended up watching the video and in doing so you did your club out of cash.
The guys on the video were more interested in the game at Workington.
The ground looked empty is it time to move to park avenue?

If York win the league is this another Leicester considering your budget will be 10* the rest of the league?

All the best three York wins and Newco bottle the play offs please.

Bradford now guaranteed at least 2nd place so if it is playoffs, game(s) will be at home. Points Difference now improved to the point Bradford's is better than York's. But that won't matter a jot unless York slip up. All the Bulls can do is keep winning and posting reasonable scores so that if York DO slip up, the Points Difference matters.


Keighley & Newcastle out of the playoff race after this weekend. Other teams now will be from Doncaster, Workington, Oldham, Hunslet & Whitehaven. All fairly close between those 5 for the last 3 spots.

What a charming man you seem. Few points:



I'm sure that your club sorely missed the 'smoke from your dickie' today. I'm a little sad you couldn't see past petty rivalry to use Google to find the answer to your question too. Having said that the weight of that giant chip you seem to have on your shoulder about Bradford would probably prevent you from entering the ground through the turnstiles anyway.

The game at Workington was very important. Perhaps more important than the drubbing dished out at Odsal. It certainly appeared more entertaining.

You're right about Odsal; it is a millstone around the clubs neck. But I'm sure you are aware of that, what with your unhealthy interest in 'another' club.

At least if we don't go up we get to play Keighley again next year. I enjoy going to Cougar park and find [imost[/i of the fans there polite and cheerful.


One last point; I often find that if I want some information from someone it always pays off to be polite and sincere. This also works online. Try it!

Haven't you heard? They're changing the entire league structure just to get us out of this division. We're the RFL's darlings. Bigger than the sport mate.

Now feck off back under your rock you bloody cretin.

u ok hun?

Well, yet again I'm sat here after a big win thinking about how bad we are



Yes, OK we won by 50 points. That's the one saving grace. But again it was a catalogue of silly errors that never seem to have improved upon as the season has progressed.

There was a period in the first half where we just didn't complete a set - once again, poor handling and dropped balls. We don't seem to be able to deal with kick offs, and we continue to look disjointed on the final play (on the few occasions we get to the final play).

Are we any more confident that we could handle a fired-up Workington in a promotion play off?

It was a wierd one for me I felt certain players individually played very well the halves seemed fluid and some of the tries were great but respect for ball security and possession was disgraceful tbf.

Was a strange one for me.

I sat after 55 mins thinking how bored I was, how crap the team were playing, wondering if they actually trained together at all, do they smear their fingers with Lurpak before taking the field, why are they prone to the most SPECTACULAR brain farts, why the hell do I bother coming to watch etc...

Left the ground feeling lower than when we were dumped from SL.

Then you see the press conf reaction and wonder what the hell's going on? Work on attack? I don't think we completed more than 2 sets in the first half (though granted I had turned to the phone for entertainment so may have missed one of the other sets completed). It needs more than work...

To be fair, all the press conferences say the same thing after the game

Positives – Thought Egodo was excellent paired with Ryan. Lots of threat when the ball went their way. Some great attacking moments from Keyes and Lilley. Crossley and Peltier immense. Hallas had his best game in a while. Good to see Minchella scoring again. Good to see McNally back.

Negatives – Hopeless at taking the kickoffs with at least 5 being gifted to the opposition. Should have got at least 70 against 12 men that offered next to nothing in attack. Are Gibson and Garside under orders never to pass? Too many unforced errors.

It was an awful spectacle again. Kear's point about the stoppages is well made. It seemed to go on forever and this needs to be addressed.
