Its not helped by the tykes using it as postage stamp size. I do hope if the game goes ahead that we have the full width unlike the tykes use it.

Match is postponed - to be rescheduled for New Years Day at 3pm straight after Carnegie's RU game with Gloucester www.therhinos.co.uk/news/15630.php

Wonderful - Leeds United are also playing on New Years Day KO 1pm - a mad dash from Elland road to Headingley is now on the cards.

Oh dear. Had to cancel my tickets and get refund as going to New York on Wednesday. So no rugby fix for me this Christmas.

We are in Edinburgh so ditto.

More importantly rugby league supporters across the region should be giving thanks to the Rugby Union organisation Premiership Rugby for the use of their pitch protection facilities without which the NY day fixture may even have been in doubt.

more importantly.....

who's baking what today ????

I may do some of my famous giant vanilla muffins with icing tops, however I am currently painting...

Lets hope the pitch stands up to 2 games in one day.
Having said that the Rah Rahs will only be using the touchline .
Might be worth £17 to watch both games and give big Les a bit of grief.
Does he still play for Gloucester?

Cheesecake last night was a success.

Final winner was Bailey's & White Chocolate so I've got the rest of the tester to eat tonight, and a fresh one for tomorrow (which is more likely I'll have to share some of that one, otherwise it's not in the "Festive Spirit"icon_wink.gif.

Interestingly premiership rugbys protection facilities have been in use at Newcastle Falcons....And guess what...they have also called off their boxing day fixture.

hmmmm

christmas is a season of sharing goodwill amongst all. i dont seem to recall it mentions cheesecake.
therefore sit in the bathroom and eat it all yourself.

Agreed. I might try... "Show me specifically in the Bible where it says I need to share my cheesecake??"

That should do it.

And there were in the same country shepherds abiding in the field, keeping watch over their flock by night. And, lo, the angel of the Lord came upon them, and the glory of the Lord shone round about them: and they were sore afraid: And the angel said unto them, Fear not: for, behold, I bring you good tidings of great joy, which shall be to all people. For unto you is born this day in the city of David a cheesecake, which is f'kin superb being baileys and white chocolate. And this shall be a sign unto you; Ye shall find the cheescake wrapped in swaddling clothes, lying in a fridge, on a plate. And suddenly there was with the angel a multitude of the heavenly host praising Baileys and white chocolate, and saying, Glory to cheesecake in the highest, and on earth peace, good will toward men, now where has the bas'tad hidden it?

What version of the bible do you have? My is almost identical to that but wherever you've used the word "cheesecake" mine says "Saviour". Must be an old edition.

Mince pies, jam tarts and icing the christmas cake that was left to soak in brandy*

Good thread this.

quite glad of a double header, was going to go for the Union game to blow out a few cobwebs

Great, 2 games in one day on a pitch that's been frozen.
Let's look forward to a pitch that's not fit to play fast running rugby on till about May.
I wonder how many injuries we'll get as a result?

The Be-Ro version.

Chortle.

I can't understand why they simply don't cancel a meaningless friendly unless of course the financial gain is worth more than the the risk to the players and the pitch?

I was at my mum's yesterday and while we were eating cheesecake my nephew mentioned that he had eaten some wonderful cheesecake on Christmas day . Guess what . It was white chocolate and Baileys .

It must be a revenue decision, but how much money would they realistically lose if management did call it off?

We got slated by many people last season due to the state of the Pitch let’s hope it’s not a resemblance of Bridlington Beach come April time...
