Looks like they have thought about what team will take the most numbers that time of year and come to the conclusion the f.c faithful won't mind getting the sh@## end of the stick. Same applies to magic weekend. I understand the reason but seems like the more you give to the r.l the more they take advantage of it instead of trying to get other clubs away support up to our level
Of course you have always believed having a big following makes you are a big club. Now taking a few more supporters away to Catalan means you should be allowed to pick when you go there. You really do have a twisted view on how the world and the RFL work.

Whilst a summer fixture might be better for the fans, it's the lads that have to go out and play in the awful weather. After Wakey away last season, and watching them play Catalan in 2006 & 2009 in ridiculous heat, I have no problem with a February fixture.

There was me thinking you got two points for a win and that was how you moved up the table. Why does it matter when we play them? You either go or you don't.

Firstly it's just my opinion and don't expect everyone to agree with me.secoundly I don't believe having a big following makes us a big club. I think were a average team with a big following. Thirdly regarding how the r.l works do you thinks it's fair we play you again at magic solely based on the fact our clubs take more fans and create a far better atmosphere than a lot of other teams. Nothing to do with league positions of anything actually related to the sport, just purely down to the people who follow them teams. I get the logic but does that make it right?

My bad. Fixture list + Monday morning blues = fans forum rant. Talk of 2 nights on the toon starting to cheer me up now though ( don't get me started again about the 5,30 k.o though )
