A month ago I would have said we’d win this but it’s an important game for them, we’ve gone off the boil and, of course, newly promoted Barrow are better than us......which is kinda disappointing.

I hope we put in a decent performance. I think we will but I suspect we may come up short. Interesting to see crowd size and atmosphere.

As for the post match event I’m giving it a miss. I hope it gets support and I can see why the club would want to get some much needed funds coming in but, objectively, this season (and the previous two) have been dreadful value for ST holders and I think dropping the one course buffet and making it free was the way to go. There are other ways to get cash out of supporters now isn’t the time. So I don’t think it’s ‘rinsing the fans’ great phrase that but I think it’s a bit tone deaf.

To be honest, I just want this season over. What the club should do (but they probably wont), is let the Ladies have a lap of honour at half time, give them some form of recognition for being the only bright light this season. Because apart from the Ladies, I just want to forget this season even existed.

In terms of the score, I hope they win, but to be honest I can't even find the enthusium to care. Pointless game at the end of a abysmal season.

I just hope somebody at the Broncos has enough about them to get the Broncos Ladies some form of good send off.

I believe the club may give them free access to the Gold Lounge for one game. Nuff said!

Possibly the best thing with the end of the season is the dreadful Wire shirt will be consigned to the dustbin (I hope).

I think I said at the time, if we wear this blue shirt we’ll be rubbish and lose all the time...and so will Warrington. But I may be misremembering!

Actually I understand to get sluggish sales for One club event up they intend to have a ritual burning of the blue kits in the fun zone. May attract some interest.

Couldn't we have a ritual burning of Hughes & his pet Lobster?

Nope that would be a two course buffet.

Not even if the price is bumped to £35?

Done. I think there’s some left over team sheets from that anticipated 4000 gate game against Dewsbury that we can use as kindling.

Apart from the shirt burning, other things that might make the post match event worth paying for:

- Management 'Just A Minute' with topics such as 'How we will get 5,000 fans in 2 seasons', 'What is a match day experience' , 'Why Trailfinders was bad'
- Flan the CEO stall (all proceeds to the academy)
- Players mustard eating competition

Please add.

Evening All. Barrow have been a good team this season despite being newbies as their Championship position testifies. But for your old mate Sammut (our old mate for a handful of minutes before an early red card and then Kung Flu) missing a late penalty, they would have gained a draw at home to Leigh back in June. The wise on here will know that that is not a Leyther gloating, Bongser is a Rugby League man, no boaster, no troll.

They scored 28 points that day and are the only team since to score 20 against Leigh's Scrooge defence - at LSV to boot!

They are one point behind fourth placed Batley, a team that has to visit Leigh this weekend - and one that was nilled by 36 in the reverse fixture earlier in the season. Barrow will not be seeing this game as a dead rubber!

That said, Bongser is right behind you as there are some good coves on this forum and (as well) a win for The Broncos would see Batley gain home advantage in the repeat fixture in the play-off eliminator and then they might clear a banana skin out of Leigh's path.

Nothing is taken for granted by a lifelong Leigh and Bolton supporter - "es aitch one tee 'appens" - as we Northern monkeys say.

Video highlights of the season (whilst kettle boils) free cup of tea afterwards.

Not going to be easy but once more unto the breach etc.

Not sure about "once more into the breach...." but you may be right BT. However given the last couple of efforts, can't help thinking it might be a little more "cannon to the right of them, cannon to the left of them....". Let's hope we can put this season to bed with a win & move on.

with any luck this game will probably get cancelled now

It'll be the excuse for the poor turn out and miserable uptake of the after-party tickets......

It was ERII's expressed wish that Charles should succeed her, that all RL games go ahead as planned and that box sets of Coronation Street be put on Cloud.

Gawd Rest ER!!

She laaaaaaved a good old knees up did our Bet



I see the RFL have binned all games in the UK tomorrow (Friday), with a decision other the rest made later that morning.
Whilst I understand the "9 days of mourning " malarkey, the 21st Century sports administrators and their paymasters at Murdoch Towers will have none of it. .......I can see the Ladies SL grand Final being moved on Sunday week and the rest of the schedule to go as scheduled

Hope nobody planning to go to the game via Haydons Road station as doesn't look like Thameslink running the Sutton to St Albans via Blackfriars route this weekend.

Thanks for the tip.
Assuming the game goes ahead looks like it’ll be train to London Bridge and tube to Tooting Broadway for me on Sunday

Seems games will be on.

It’s about a 15 minute walk from Tooting Broadway. Plenty of off licences on the way if you need a livener to get you through the match. There’s also a chicken take away on the cusp of the ground in a short parade if you want a change from the fayre sold at Plough Lane. What they lack in quality they make up in quantity.

Also tons of great curry places like Lahore Karahi, Mirch Masala & Dawat in Upper Tooting Road. Also Rosa's Thai Cafe is very good opposite Sainsburys left out the station. Avoid JJ Moon's as a dreadful Wetherspoons. Apollo Banana Leaf on way to Blackshaw Road is good too. Sadly Tooting Market that has dozens of little eateries from all over the world will be closed on a Sunday. Alas, means you won't get to see the giant African Land Snails.
