Well the Championship invasion of Blackpool is just around the corner. Will have the preview up sometime tomorrow, along with as many news articles as I can gather.
Referee for this one is Chris Kendall.

| Presumably the draw for the summer bash was not random however it looks like we have the better of the draw London wont be easy but it could be a lot worst just ask Halifax playing Bradford and Fev playing Leigh if results go to plan we could be 8 points clear of 5th place with 10 games to play.
Sky will be showing all 6 matches live unfortunately at 5pm on saturday sky will also be showing test cricket and the 4th division play off final so finding a local pub that will be showing the game will be slim possibly best bet would be Common room in town anyone know a pub that will definitely be showing the game

You must mean me.  You lot must have finished infiltrating the Warrington forum.Deep joy!
I was certainly disappointed seeing Paul Rowley - he wasn't walking on the Irish Sea! He was mingling with Halifax fans
'Twas only a short time ago he was on Radio Manc whinging about London having a club.Must be like his daddy;not liking clubs outside your village.
As your sarcasm mentioned the game,we were mullered by another side - It was a repeat to that of your and Deggsy Beaumont's bĆŖte noire Bradford Bulls who also played us earlier this month and again the same 46 points were conceded.
The better side won.No complaints from me - other than the players from Bradford and Halifax coming out to warm-up while the departing players were taking acknowledgement/applause from the fans who had schlepped out there ( to Blackpool ).Hugely discourteous in my opinion.( As was the Bradford followers singing their songs while our game was proceeding.
Still,after the defeat to Bradford we got back to winning ways.
It must have been difficult for our players adopting to the varying days/nights/kick off times but I'm sure the next time we play at a stadium with orange coloured seats we will do very well. ( That'll be Barnet FC - The Hive - on a Sunday at 3pm 26th July - against London Broncos )
It was interesting to see how the full-time training and conditioning had managed to make Jamie Thackray and Rhys Williams look fitter than they have ever been.They were assisted by someone even older than Higham.Strangely,they scored more points against us than the side representing Leigh Centurions did.
I shall make a point of looking at the scores when you play Bradford and London in the coming weeks - particularly if I need assistance in sleeping as I thought I would struggle tonight - until I saw your biting wit.
You should take lessons from Deggsy - off field culture at Leigh  Only a few days after those Twitter comments.
Stay classy.
If I still struggle to sleep I'll count all the number of transfers,in and out,that have involved the clubs where Tony Smith has been head coach and then count the number that he has not been happy with.
Any idea how many he has not been happy with?
No worries if you can't assist.I'll feel better tomorrow if Andy Hay surprises me with his team,if they perform as well as the team where Brian Noble has an advisory role performed today.
Congratulations to London Broncos.Hope their supporters enjoyed today and their winning run continues.

| Sheffield players were reported to say they could not concentrate on the game with all the unusual background noise.
I thought the fans were pretty quite.

Wow! Another opposition and yet more discipline problems for Leigh.The Rowley/Beaumont gameplan has now been found out by each and every tv viewer when they have escaped previously,as The Championship has not had much television coverage in the recent past.Must find some new thugs to keep the winning run continuing.
At least Rowley learned something when you dual registered with Wigan and Wane invited him/Beaumont to look at the coaching side.
It now becomes clearer why Duffy and Roddy left for Swinton and Parker got out of it to Bradford.
Keep winning friends and influencing people.
Please stop pretending you have hordes of followers - unless they were camouflaged as orange coloured tip-up seats.
We all BeLEIGHve.
PS - If there are any Sheffield Eagles fans still reading 'our' forum - and in the know - is Ken Jones still with the club? I ain't seen,heard,read anything from him in recent weeks.

Broncos Batter Eagles - wp.me/p3JxPK-xF
Just got back from an enjoyable weekend in Blackpool. Our performance was the most inept I've seen in ages, and if that's what we're going to be like whenever Briggs and Knowles aren't around then it's a bit worrying! Fortunately, I say without trying to jinx us, we've a nice spell of games now to, hopefully, get us back on the horse. Starting with Hunslet on Friday.

I'm not 'in the know' but can only assume he's still with the club as there's been no press release or announcement to say otherwise. He's been rather quiet on social media in the last month.

It seems the RFL plan on another Bash next year.
The original idea of the Millenium Magic weekend,I think,was to boost interest in south Wales.Then it moved to the Etihad Stadium in Manchester.
I am hoping clubs follow the example of James Lowes the Bradford Bulls head coach and speak out against the concept.
It is an additional cost to regular supporters during these austerity years.
It is,presumably,money going to soccer clubs where followers of those clubs have issues with the club owners.
The Oystons at Blackpool and Mike Ashley at Newcastle.I don't think the owners at Manchester City require any money.
The RFL do not seem to have learned from their involvement with the soccer owners at Wrexham,when they directed Crusaders there,and the CEO at the time,at Wrexham FC,was later imprisoned for dishonesty.The Wrexham soccer fans also had issues with the owners
The Bash is unlikely to attract any new supporters,other than possibly those who watched the now defunct Blackpool Panthers.
Most supporters watch their own sides and then leave the site.
If the attendances are good,despite the games being shown on television,the only conclusion that I care to draw from that is the Saturday and Sunday games/kick off times are more popular than those shown on other days/evenings when games are televised throughout the season.
I would be more than content if I never attend another such occasion.Anyone particularly keen to see these type of events continued?

What a load of OWD coal :  Blackpool was a good successful event,well attended maybe not many Seagulls there  but PLENTY of other fans having a great time the Pubs where rocking with Fans singing and mixing well.Plenty of fans stayed to watch the other games on Sunday I say plenty of Bradford fans at the game , I even saw 4 Seagulls fans  staring into the Sea on the South Pier.  .What a great result for Rugby the London one was,the weekends highest score,has the Seagulls bubble burst?Are the Seagulls showing signs of cracking.?Is Menzie ready to be put out to pasture?Is this Tubbs last stand?All will be revealed in due time,look over your shoulders , Fev,Fax,and Dews are closing in.

I would like to see it strangled at birth. This year it was a massive disadvantage to 3 part time clubs having to play full time clubs for a 3rd time. I've never liked the Magic Weekend either. It would become more tolerable with an open draw made on the Friday. I'm not really sure what the purpose of it is now.Presumably it is not developmental but maybe it is at the insistence of Sky. What does it achieve.
