If we have the bean counters from Fev I'm going for 988....




I though that 2006 wasn't far off to be honest

Ticket prices have already been announced.

Who edited my post?

Can't do it though, if Batley don't agree. According to Andy, we already had an offer on, when we played them in the NRC and the crowd was 1807. (for a televised game)

Which pubs in Leigh have the game on?

Pubs in Leigh should be barred form having the game on.

George and Dragon and Boars Head for sure, White Lion have had Leigh games on in the past. The Bravo Inn's pubs also carry Premier Sports it so that's Hilton Park, Canal Turn and the Red Lion in Westleigh.

I can't speak for the rest.

Thanks

Why?

Rob Parker is fit for Sunday. I asked him via twitter last night and he replied "Yes"

Hope there's a good turn out, bit annoyed it's on TV and people can use the get out clause as we really need the support this week.

I was at Fev and I felt we really helped particularly in the 2nd half when we were coming back and the Fev fans were looking a bit shell shocked!

According to Natalie Quirk on Twitter the Halifax game in week 3 will be on PS on Thursday night. This will only give their opponents a 4 day turn round

Hope it's true as the only way I'd get to Fev again (assuming we win on Sun and Sheffield don't slip up) would be if we played on Sun.

Maybe I should know who Natalie Quirke is, but I do not.

Any away evening game in Yorkshire would rule me out anyway but let's be honest we need to focus our attentions only on defeating Batley on Sunday as that is going to be one proper tough encounter.

She's one of the touch-line reporters used by PS on their Championship broadcasts

I am confused. She has stated the Halifax tie will be televised if they play Sheffield/Leigh/Batley. I was under the impression that Halifax face the winner of Sheffield/Dewsbury and Featherstone face the winner on Leigh/Batley?

Fev always play the lowest ranked team, so if Dewsbury beat Sheffield(Good chance I feel) then Fev are rewarded by playing Dewsbury and Fax will play the winner of Leigh Vs Batley.

Got ya. Cheers.

Presume Batley have a pretty healthy squad before Sundays visit having read of just a couple of doubts.
For us I presume Higsons chomping at the bit to get in the team with the Play offs really starting on Sunday and is Finnigan fighting fit, other than that I think we're pretty much as near full strength as we've been all season ?

Nearly forgot, should be a greasy pitch as its forecast a rainy windy day.
Get practising them bombs as a last tackle option !

Or play like Wigan did last night. Force repeat sets, eventually the nut will crack. Luckily Ridyard's all ground kicking game (short, long, high) is very good, when he's on form.

And Batley's kickers will have to get used to not kicking up/down a slope.

Bet they love playing away from home, with all those flat, even pitches to run up and down, well apart from at Fev a "home from home"

Fev isn't the only Yorkshire pitch that slopes.

Dewsbury & Keighley certainly do and Sheffield might - although it's so far from the stand it's not easy to tell!

Well I can't make it to the game, but I will be staying up after my night shift to watch the boys bring it home on the 7am kickoff on Premier
