Nice to call in the Boltmakers Arms again

It will be but would you class this match as 1st team or reserve?

It depends what squad we have after the Dulls Game I imagine the RFL would class it as a 1st Class Match

Is it right that Fax home programmes are now effectively a local newspaper insert? (Think Bradford did this last season)

Does anyone know if there will be anything for this cup game?

Jeez - did you pick up a lot of injuries on Sunday ? Only 16 fit players apparently......

Yup and you guys have had a weeks rest. This cup is stupid, the arrogance of the RFL thinking no Championship clubs will get near Wembley, the clubs are improving every season and getting closer to the bottom SL clubs. Given it’s an open draw this may be a more common occurrence of Champ teams in the semis, hopefully.

Anyone no what the Admittance price will be ? I Assume S/T will not be Valid

Here's me thinking we had a game at Widnes........

Better not be. It's a shared gate.

Up to 19 now. Press ganged three passers-by outside the ground.

No-one features who played yesterday-total reserve 19.

Adults £10, fossils £5.

Thanks got your text

Nobody cares about this, not even the BBC, no results on their website. On to Leigh and hopefully 2 points though it will be tough.

Just remember, we only beat Bradford to get in the semis.

Norman, I’m really looking forward to Sunday’s game, a big game for both a Clubs,I’m expecting a close game and forecast a Leigh win, by 8 points.
I’ve been told I’m sat with the Fax fans as well, may see you there.

Probably right there Norman. I hear we have to turn out a weakened team and concentrate on our owners cup comp!

Not sure if that's the correct criterion for gauging interest in Rugby League.

I have to agree with you on that.

Further above, Charlie I won’t be there unfortunately and I hope your tipping is up to its usual standard.



Alan, I can see that Derek would want his own trophy on his own sideboard but it’s still all pants to me, and I’m sure to you as well.

I’d rather have a semi-final in a real comp than a final in a side show.

Plus 3 other teams including Super League's London

Very true Norman.

However, believe it or not, I'm still in a happy state that we actually have a team this season!

Fair dues mate, I totally understand that position.

The reality is that the Championship is a side-show.

I guess everything other than SL is a sideshow, just look at the crowds last weekend, I do think that our game being the only local match up helped but still poor crowds all round.

The big clubs are only interested in the CC Final, other rounds no one cares and even the final has lot the glamour it had being effectively mid-season.

Hopefully somebody out there saw our match and thinks that showing the Championship games may be worth a punt and take it off Sky. Channel 4 moving to Leeds may be the catalyst, finger crossed.

Can anybody confirm if there was a programme issued for this game? I was out of the country and thus unable to attend!

Just a team sheet as far as I know.
