Yes. It's not that long since Rovers fans could be counted in their hundreds though is it?

[size=150 There Will be A Pitch Inspection At 8am on Saturday Morning[/size

According to the office at Fev.

Yes ....and they still got coverage.
What's your point?

I shouldn't bother.
Have another hour in bed Mr Inspector.

I have just received confirmation from the Club that [size=150this mornings fixture at Featherstone is OFF [/size(due to the current weather conditions).

And from Featherstone Rovers ...

Unfortunately the Boxing Day match against Doncaster has had to be called off. A pitch inspection at 8 a.m. showed areas of the pitch still deep frozen and the car park and spectator areas very dangerous.

Any news on whether it will be rescheduled?

It seems that it is unlikely to be re-arranged as Featherstone have a number of other friendlies arranged.
(I immediately asked that question too

).

cant see why the fev game cant be played next weekend.....we dont play wakey while the 10th

That would be nice.

It would be good if the two Clubs could come to some arrangement. Come on Carl, make the call.

It can't be hard can it?
But what's the betting?

I'd be surprised if Fev aren't very keen to reschedule, we've been selling tickets to cover all 4 pre season games. No idea how many were sold but I don't imaging the club will be wanting the hassle of sorting out full or partial refunds..

The Hunslet Old Boys v Sharlston Rovers BARLA Yorkshire Cup Final was played at Featherstone on Sunday. Pity the thaw didn't materialise quicker!

What a surprise.
So when do the Dons actually get to play a friendly now?

The only [size=130confirmed[/size fixture is Home v Sheffield Eagles (Jan 17).

Thanks......another blank three weeks from Boxing Day?

There was supposed to be a friendly with HKR but I can't find anything about it (even on their site).

We will be playing Hull KR just waiting on FA Cup draw to see if Rovers are at home or not either way we will be playing them on the 23rd at Keepmoat or at Hull KR.

Thanks for the update.
