I think my last visit to headingly was the 1990 regal trophy final against Wigan ,just looked at the attendance over 17,000 , we beat saints 10-9 in the semi final as a 2nd division club that’s some achievement.

Unfortunately my plans have been scuppered as the mrs’ as pulled her back out and is dosed up on diazepam and tramadol so it may be a few more years before I return to headingly . Premier sports it’ll be for me , providing it doesn’t switch off at the last minute again .

The last time i went to headingly was the season when we got relegated in 2003 it used to be one of my favourite away grounds to visit it will have changed a lot since then. If anyone as got any tips for places to park that would be appreciated as for the game bradford seem to be in a bad spot. When they sacked kear things seemed to pickup performance wise but know they are struggling again as for us we need to jump back on the horse nice a quick with a good win. Selection wise i would pick worthington instead of arundel who as been a big disappointment to me you could try him in the second row but garside puts far more effort in so should keep is spot. Lets wait and see how gwaze gets on at the disciplinary he would also be a welcome return but i wouldn't hold my breath on that. As for the score I think we will win 36-16.

Edit

With Fax over the years I’ve learned you can never be sure what to expect as the weekend showed but haven’t seen the energy levels from Bradford that London showed and if we get our game heads on and some players back we should have enough.

The squad is out and includes the returning Elliot Morris, Greg Worthington, Kav, Ed Barber and Lachlan Walmsley. It looks a good strong line up and hopefully with a more familiar look we will be able to bounce back from the London loss and bash the bulls. Up The Fax!

Looking at that squad the side i would pick is.



woodburn-hall

saltonstall

tibbs

worthington

walmsley

jouffret

keyes

calcott

moore

murray

kavanagh

barber

fairbank



mason

morris

tangata

wood

That side should be more than good enough to get the job done. I am looking forward to the bash this weekend and will be watching as many games as my legs can stand.

Agree with this selection, he may opt for garside over barber with garside being banned for the Batley game , then possibly have barber on the bench as a utility player who covers more positions in case of injury probably at the expense of Morris or mason .

Yep. Strong squad with the returning players and delighted to see Wombat back in, must be fit after the scare from the other week and Elliot back who has been playing well for the Rams whilst on loan.

Aye, put Garside in for Mason and there's not much wrong with that side. Ring 0' Bells Halifax. Ossett Yorkshire Blonde 3.9% Mmm!

Wow. There can't be more than 300 fans in there for Game 1.



Seems over priced card only produce isn't much of a pull over an early Otley Run afternoon

Walmsley has been left out of the starting 17



Anybody know why?

Well we got the job done although nowhere near at our best. I thought our defence was excellent again but we never really clicked as we can going forward. The sending off was a joke given that no bulls players were sent off for running in. A great day out though and the two points tucked away although we will need to up the game next week against Batley. Up The Fax!
