Especially when he can build himself up as some sort of 'hero to the fans' in the process.

Yes you are probably right - but no one complaining and at least someone out there keeping us informed and updated even if they might not be the person doing the spadework

From your end there appears to have been very little said from the very start

I can't wait to hear the RFL's rationale as to why Friday night games are against the rules!

So if Saturday is out due to a wedding it makes for an interesting Sunday, or Swinton have been moved to Sedgely

Both teams normally play on a Sunday, one assumes both teams do this as historically that is the day which is the best interest for their respective business, Friday night games tend to have lower attendances, why should Fev agree to potentially lose revenue, just because LSV want a change? Perhaps they put up a quite a valid case.


Ps we played Pat’s on a Friday…………………..it was also a reverse fixture

Who does he think he is? Marwan k?

LF,

Spot on for me. I suspect last year the away following from Leigh & Fax probably matched the total we saw from all the other teams combined last year at POR. Alway great to see the strong following that Leigh bring. Hope you bring a 1000 the next time you play at POR.

I for one can't wait for the two games against Leigh coming up they should be great games. I will endevour to get to both games no matter what day the CC game is played.

Yours in Sport.

More to follow Is that good enough for you? I highly doubt our CEO would make up this and put it into the public domain without being in the know For what its worth, it didnt matter to me what day it was played, however i applaud my club for rejecting and then sticking to their guns on the matter on now what appears to be an unreasonable request from Leigh'" Well you could have posted this link https://twitter.com/poskitt_craig I don't care either on which day the game will be played but I think I will wait for something on our Official site.

Mind you I have read on the Keighley Board that Swinton v Keighley will be on Friday evening.

Seems you can find out if you search the Swinton Official website.

Why not play Sinday and transfer the corporate to Park Inn or Leight east just a thought

Don;t think so if you had paid for a box at the LSV

You never once brought 5/600. The reason we were at home on those Thursday nights is because we topped the league, had you topped the league then we would of been travelling, that was our advantage for been the most consistent team in the season. As for low crowds / shared gates one of the plus points in owning your own ground is we get to say how many attend, only an idiot would declare the correct crowd on a shared gate. Our chair is no idiot, and anyone who thinks playing the game on a Friday will give you some sort of an advantage is also an idiot

I remember Leigh taking over 1000 fans to POR. I think it was a CC tie in 2003 ??

We lost 28-20. Can anyone confirm this ??

I would hazard a guess because they only want to deal in facts rather than trying to give a running commentary on what are generally supposed to be private discussions.

Think you're right btw Snowy on that one. And wasn't there a load of sponsored coaches last year that would have catered for a good few hundred? I mean if we can take 700 to Rochdale with only two LISA coaches....

my response was to 'alans' comments about wanting to play 3pm on a sun, which I agree with, all you've done is confirmed my point about not having played at 3pm very often since you've moved away from Hilton....thanks for being a clever sh*t

Possibly the most stupid post I have read for ages, you own the ground so you can cheat better and thats something to be proud of.Plus where do you get we think its to Leighs advantage playing on Friday,both teams benefit from the extra days before our next match.I
I have been coming to your ground for decades and on many occassions Leigh have taken loads of fans and rarely is this reciprocated at Leigh by Fev whatever day the games played,though in recent years with your deserved success has seen more fans I will agree.THe Fev women with the loudest voice in RL does equate to 10 other fans in decibel level so you may seem to be bringing more these days,she is also the stupidest fan in RL as well.

Should have gone to.......

Can't believe anyone in their right mind would play it on a Friday night.

Last time we played at yours on a Friday (2012 season iirc), it took nearly 3 hours to get there and I missed the first half. There's no way I'd ever consider driving over on a Friday again. I imagine many other Fev supports feel the same.

From a financial perspective, it makes far more sense for both clubs to play it at the weekend, good on Poskitt for sticking to his guns.

So what's the problem then? If there is no advantage (I agree with you) then why make such a fuss? Because you'll take a few more fans and get a few more quid on a Sunday? Well on the Friday we will do better on the corporate side of things (traditionally) and make a few more quid that way.

Fev are making themselves look ridiculous. The way they are going on about there supposedly massive army of away fans they'd bring on a Sunday is just nonsense as well. Who do they think they are, Hull KR?

Well if its Saturday that would seriously mess up the clubs Community event at Golborne

Think you are mixing up your dates, that event is this weekend

a little bit of advice for the LSV ,when looking at the draft fixtures next season note dates of all cup competitions and always presume both us and Swinton could be still in them each round and do not book functions on the dates of these comps , then we can choose what day we want to play .

I obviously tempted fate, I have a vehicle originally schedule for delivery to Halewood tomorrow but my customer now wants them delivered to Bilbao instead.

As I said nothing is guaranteed but fortunately on this occasion I have some alternative work for my usual transport agent.

The biggest mistake and trap you are all falling into here is comparing any kind of normal day to day business with the operating of a sports club and in particular a semi professional RL team. Partnerships mean both parties need each other equally LSV need LC and visa versa and if the relationship is to be a successful one both parties will at times give ground and be flexible to each others needs unlike a conventional business relationship were the customer is always right mentality should always apply.

That is this coming Saturday.
