no 9k crowds either!

I went several times back in the 80 + 90's (derek Fox era) always mediocre crowds.

Such a nice chap aren't you.

just like him

Cant we contest the Barlow clause, we are losing one our better players in recent months.

we are its in the courier tonight, micheal steele will consult the rfl over barlow,,

we could sure do with him,
tamghart and wrench need to pass head test before been given the all clear, and apparently aizue still has fragments of the fevs players teeth still in his head
pluss branighan, nash, royston all got leg injuries

Blimey, I'd say Thursday we are the underdogs as it stands.

I could prob finish work early and do a couple of minutes in the front row if needed! TS can do a couple more before getting injured. Anyone else?

Barlow Cant pay no matter who they take the matter too. He knew the clause when he left Sheffield and signed with Halifax - Under no circumstances is he allowed to play against Sheffield in the 2010 season. FACT!!!!
It is a shame for Barlow, but i think good management by Mark Aston, you guys would be the same if the tables where in your favour.

I'd injure myself lacing my boots!

Just for reference:-
Since I've watched rovers

Jan 73 - 9300 for cup match v Salford
Wire 73 V Rovers - 15600 of which a phenominal turn out from fev
76 v Leeds in the cup again - 12200
77? Widnes - again in the cup 9k(ish)

Notice - the day we won the league in 76 - 2936!! - the league ave that year (albeit at a time when RL was really struggling was about 2300 if memory serves me correctly)

83 - Fev/ponty/knottla/goole/selby were bled dry on the day of the challenge cup final!! (really it was the same in 67 & 73 but of course I can't reference that!!!

88 - 9k for Leeds in the opener.
Games against Wigan and cas have sinced stretched the place to capacity, but I take your point - 6.7k is your lot nowadays!

Since 95 we've towed - and towed a lot!!!!

BUT, - Our 2007 ave was something like 1100 for the league prog - but the club sold approaching 5k tickets for that day - and loads paid on the door or got tickets direct from the RFL - as they already have done for the 26th!

There are more examples - I've selected a few!

Yes - 5-6k is realistic

To be honest, it would help Sheffield if he plays. He's a liability and our lads know how to wind him up.

Should be a good game. We've been in decent nick the last few weeks, but in our last two encounters against Fax we've been useless. I've predicted the Eagles would lose the last three weeks and been wrong… so I'm going for Fax

Seriously, though, it should be a good game. I don't think anyone at the club (bar Tubby) thought we'd get this far, so the fact that we have is a bonus.

Whoever wins, it would be nice to see Fev brought down to earth in the final

Jeez - you've already been thrown out of one competition this year and you want to keep pushing your luck.
