I only counted about 30 of us

Just got home, disappointed to say the least,

Not got a lot to say, Was out of Haven's hands. United Utilities couldnt give a definite time-scale on a repair, though a poor show that the ground announcer announced the Half Time draw numbers and the like after we'd been told by seanfax who'd walked the length of the pitch to tell us the game was abandoned but had to wait a further few minutes to get an announcement from the Ground.

As for numbers, was less than 30, malc collected in 17 tokens, someone at one point had said they'd counted 18 fax fans, that was about right

Another wasted trip we went up the first time as we spent Saturday night in St Bees now this! What about the £43 in petrol money???
I think there were around 30 Fax fans as yer Malc got 18 tokens in his pocket as I counted them for him but that was only from those of us who gave them to him, some had already left.
Good turnout for a Wednesday night and that stupid Kick off time of 7pm - can the clubs make it 7.30pm next time as I was late after leaving work at 4pm although not sure I want a third round trip of 282 miles, especially in one night!

It was as others have said the Whitehaven clubs fault BUT the place is rubbish I agree!

the lights were fine untill nigel wood sat down in the main stand then they went off

....and the RFL want a Cumbrian team in Super League??? (Apparently) It'll never work. It's easier to get to Toulouse than Haven.

I think we have to take some flashlights and sponges in order to be sure to play saturday against Haven

I have no real issue with them slagging us off on their board, after all it is their "talk in the pub". I just have an issue when they come on here and spout drivel

I wouldnt worry about it they have always had an inferiority complex when it comes to the Rugby.

The Shaymen have to travel to Whitby on a Wednesday shortly. Will be interesting to see how many make that trip following the late postponement last Saturday.

Dont let it bother you, they are most likely playing the Dog and Gun or the Bradshaw Groundhogs select eleven vets this weekend. Who cares what they do.

poor comparison game as it could be title clinching day.wherever or whatever time fcht
play there is always a 250 minimum following.

Remind who Fax are playing then?!!!

We have this cup called the Challenge Cup with the hope of drawing a big SL team before we get knocked out. I think you have the same sort of thing and i think its called the FA cup where you can hope to eventually play one of the big boys like Eastbourne Borough before your cup dreams are ended.

Or Grimsby or Mansfield



Not really the point I was making though.

Are the Quarter finals of the NRC chosen by an open draw? It has been suggested on the Leigh forum that the group leaders are guaranteed a home draw. Anyone?

Its an open draw

I do not see how they can have an open draw and still keep it fair if the draw is before the Fax / Whitehaven match. For example (as I understand it) only Position 1 in our group is sorted so the only way they could do a draw is rename the teams P2, P3, P4. In all honesty it is likely that we will beat Whitehaven and finish P2 but if it is more favourable becuase of ther 'open draw' we may in effect be better losing and finishing P4.

It would of been fairer for it to be seeded with 1st in Group One playing 4th in Group Two etc, with the top two of each group having home advantage.

If the draw as been moved or rearranged, then apologies for the post.

It was exactly the point you were making you fool. Trot on back to your Mickey Mouse pub team forum.

Don't you run a pub?

But not a pub team. Unless there's a pool, darts, dominoes or flower-arranging team up there?

He could have his own little franchises, with criteria and all sorts of bollax. Could change his name by deed poll to Peter MacLewis-Wood
