Not to be pedantic, but Trinity rather than Wildcats.

Why are we bothering, Wakey will have a mickey poor squad to pick from so we will select a fringe team just to make the game competitive. Let the players spend Christmas with their families.

Gary likes the income from the gate. And the opportunity to sell a shirt with Santa Clause on the front.

I used to go with my dad and my brother every year to get out of the house for a couple of hours whilst mum entertained the rest of the family, but apart from that it wasn't much of an event anyway. Maybe they should allow the players to have a beer on Christmas day and sack the game off instead.

Brings in too much money for them to scrap it, it’s well attended for a friendly.

It's an event which pretty much pays for the Croft transfer fee on its own. I guess they could give the players involved the day off but what would you replace the revenue with?






Let all the doubters keep doubting and those who believe keep believing.

We’re only interested in those in the bubble. Anyone who wants to come in the bubble, you can come in.

But you’ve got to keep believing.

A game on pretty much any other day between now and February? Would the gate have a significant reduction in numbers if it was played on Saturday 30th December instead?

The date has been a subject of contention with some players for years, with some forced to sacrifice christmas with their families in order to play in a meaningless friendly. It was even mentioned in a sour tone during Blake Austin's infamous podcast interview.

Blake Austin seemed to have a lot to say! Just seen he’s reluctantly off back to Australia, surprised he didn’t end up at Leigh or Salford

That's surprising. I thought he was settled over here. Any idea where he is going?

Obviously it would yes.
