there were more than 1200 there vs Keighley - fact.

Unless you counted us all, stating "fact" is a little rash! I was a little surprised at the number, but it was a very poor crowd for a play-off game.

Surely, being on TV doesn't have the same effect now? I've subscribed to Premier, but I think there'll only be a handful of Fax fans that wouldn't have turned up and watched it on TV instead? You have to be a real RL fan to subscribe to Premier (unless Conference footie or NHL is for you!), and why would you miss a live game if you could make it? TV is a poor alternative, but great for watching the match again (usually only if we've won!), or for away games that you can't make. Plus, looking at the "incidents" to see if the ref got it right (which he did more against Keighley than certainly I thought he did watching at the Shay!).

I would say that 1200 against Keighley was a pretty fair assessment and i certainly dont think there was anything sinister in that figure. Its a quick turn around from the previous Sunday and people might well have already made plans. I think originally it was gonna be the Sheffield v Batley game for the Thursday night but that was obviously changed, maybe some fans anticipated at that time that we were gonna play Keighley on the Sunday should we beat Batley . Plus Keighley only brought about 30 fans which doesnt help.

Back to Penky. I am not taking side on the ongoing debate but I do not think Penky has signed anything at Leigh. That's not to say he hasn't told Leigh he will go, but, why would he want to announce he is leaving to a team we may play next week. As soon as either us or Leigh are out, Penky will announce.
Lets not forget, only weeks ago we were told that Sam was going elsewhere and that his sponsor knew. Didn't happen and talking to a director we are still hopeful Penky will stay.

Not falling out, someone posted, look back, that his sponsor knew he was going.
Don't shout at me either.

I have a little book of calm. I will read extracts under the south stand at 1pm on Sunday.

Hommmmmmmm hommmmmmmmm.

So a quick flight back from Offenburg,
Straight to the Shay.
Will you bring me two bottles of duty free whisky and 200 cigs.

I bought a bottle of Estee Lauder Beautiful for the Mrs. You could have that?

Thank you very much, is she good looking?
I'm not fussy by the way.

I wish he'd hurry up and sign for someone if only to stop Chris Smith and Triran bickering.
