Yey! Thats my birthday. Oh hang on, it might be booo, if Mr BH decides to whisk me off somewhere.

Dirty weekend away, popping the mouses head?

Should be a great hit out before an early start to the season in Feb.

Quite surprised at the quality that our new players will have to be up against but it should really get them a couple of games further ahead as we know Clinton likes a good 6 games to get in to the swing of things every season!

Injuries would be my main concern, I'm not naive though, they will have taken that into consideration.

Injuries are all part of the game and no club can afford to go in to a season worrying about a player who may get injured of you'd just play them in the big games!

If we are to warm up for the season we need this hit out and the one against Hull to be really testing while I expect the Championship side that we face to come up against a very strong line up as our 32 players will all get a run out at some stage. I don't think there are any players who have long term injuries that won't be back for the pre-season games which is brilliant for our preperation!

Some decent friendlies set up, who is the championship one? has it been announced?

Featherstone, it was announced by a Fev fan on here quoting an article.

The way Craig is talking in todays local Mail I don't think Clinton or anybody else will get the luxury of six matches to get into the swing and I think message will get well and truly delivered during the next two months.
