Looking at the others I'd be most concerned if I was a HKR fan. Got a good opener at home to Batley but then away to us and Salford. If they don't get anything from those two away games then they'll only have 2 points by the time Leigh visit them.
Also Salford vs Hudds on the opening weekend so one of the SL clubs is going to be playing catchup after the first week.'"
Thats it , you keep on thinking that games against Batley will be a stroll in the park

it would have been a lot tougher if it was an away fixture that's for sure bob
sl clubs expecting an easy ride on their travels to mount pleasant could be in for a shock as it is a tough place to go and win games
i don't want to sound disrespectful here,but i don't think that batley will actually win a game in the middle 8's

This season we have allready had victorys over London , fev and little old Leigh who said they were gonna go all season unbeaten , gave a good account in CC against Catalans , a John Kear side is at its most dangerous when no one expects them to win a game , so im happy you think that way , but it was Hull kr fixtures I was replying to

I asked for tickets behind the sticks when I went up this afternoon, and was told that both the side and the end are unallocated and you can take your pick when you get there. You can't buy for either one specifically.

I know this is the case in football, because Man U got more money than Leicester last year because they were on TV more'"
Champ teams don't get tv money for middle 8 games, SL teams playing in the same game (even if they are the away team) do

Jesus, what is it with the opposition fans in this Middle 8's. You can't say anything without them get worked up over it convincing themselves that you're disrespecting them.
I didn't say Batley would be a stroll in the park. I said HKR having them at home first is a good fixture to have first, and it is. Beforehand you'd have hoped for the first week that you'd ...
- have a home game....check
- avoid a SL team....check
- avoid Leigh....check
Doesn't mean Batley will be easy or even that HKR won't slip up and lose to them but for the opening week to get your campaign off to a good start they could've had a dodgier fixture.

Maybe you did, but you were well beaten. Leeds are a better team than Catalans, never mind any of the other teams in the middle eights.
I cant believe I'm even typing Leeds & Middle Eights in the same sentence.
But on a more sombre note, does anyone know when Leeds finished below Wakefield in the league?

Yeah they told me the same when I ordered them this morning, thanks for letting me know.
I'm actually getting quite excited for this, it will be my first time seeing a Championship team live and my first trip to Post Office Road. There's four of us going now as well so it should be a fantastic day out!

Im sure youl have a cracking day. Most Fev fans like me dont give a flying shiiiite if we get hammered its just great to be playing Leeds in a competitive game again. Youl enjoy the post office road experience most of our fans are old school rugby fans and love a drink and a good sing song in the pubs before hand, and i know cas fans despise leeds for some reason but that animosity towards leeds doesnt exist with our fans. We just hate Cas and all they stand for.
Also when your in the ground spare a thought that all the improvements to the ground new stands etc, were all done by a team of around 12 volunteers most in there 60s

Blimey! Don't let Hetherington know or he'll have us all in the South Stand this winter!
For what it's worth I don't think we'll hammer you, we're not used to playing a Championship team and you'll come out guns blazing and really give us a shock in the opening exchanges before we pull away at the end of the game. Unfortunately I'm the designated driver so I'll be avoiding the pubs but I'm sure we'll be doing a lot of singing in the ground.

Good for you mate and you must be very proud seeing how the improvements have come on.
I used to work with a guy who was a big Fev fan and he hated everything to do with Cas.
Talking of pubs is the Railway still around?
That was where my Fev mate used to drink.
He was a big fan of Chris Burton

Were all brought up to hate Cas lol its just the way we are. The railway is now the last orders and is the cheapest pub around, the lads who rebuilt the railway end have done a fantastic job the workmanship is top draw and puts many of the new grounds that have been slapped together by construction companies to shame, just have a look at the workmanship of the stand you will be in

Maybe , we were , but im comparing these 2 scores , only 4 weeks apart
7th apr 2016 Hull kr 0 Catalans 40
6th May 2016 Batley 4 Catalans 40
gives me confidence anyway plus this score from Challenge cup
Hull kr 22 Oldham 36
We might lose all 7 games , but im confident we wont

I bet he still drinks there although it`s no longer in walking distance for him.
