Would it not make sence from the clubs point of view to allocate tickets based on purchase history for this seasons away games? Yes i appreciate that some fans pay on the gate and don't purchase tickets direct from Odsal however those that do are doing the club a favour in relation to the income and 10% they gain on sales?

Hopefully the Bulls' ticket allocation will be sufficient to fufil everyone that wants to go - but should it not be we could be potentialy looking at a rugby version of "Hillsborough" (hopefully not).

I did overhear someone near the pitch saying they thought they heard Worrincy use the word "race" when talking to the ref, but that could just be a case of Chinese whispers, so wouldn't say it means owt. Whatever it was, Worrincy wasn't happy. He followed Lockwood, who then babbed himself and tried to make an exit.

Shortly after, Turner put a fair big hit on Platt but ruined it by getting in Platt's face on he floor. Worrincy again got involved and pushed the guy away. Numerous times, Bulls players seemed to tell Worrincy to calm down.

Part of the problem was that, by this point, Dewsbury had started with the cheap shots and the ref was just letting it go. That caused the Bulls players to try and take the law into their own hands. If the ref had dealt with it earlier, it wouldn't have flared up like it did. Unfortunately, he was largely spineless.


Oh and I notice the score updates seem somewhat echoey of my Twitter Where's my credit? :p

Job done, really, so what i'll just say is it took me back many years, did that, to days when the Northern regularly went on tour in 't Cup to places like Dewsbury, Barrow, Whitehaven, Rochdale and other small tight 'community' grounds, where you are almost on the pitch; and where the few fans do really love their League. It's sad in some ways that you also saw why a club like Dewsbury could just never be a SL club, the gulf is just immense, but I hope clubs like them go on forever, it's what the game is all about. Brilliant day out, and also despite being under sever pressure and comprehensively beat, what about the resolve in the Dewsbury defence in the second half? Especially after the pounding they'd taken first half? Just superb.

My only gripe - we kicked for touch and it was deffo my ball to catch, I shouted for it, but the guy 2 seats to my left reached up and knocked on, the basstard.

Oh, and just how fat was that pot bellied in-goal judge?

There's not too many imaginative moves a winger can pull really. He carried the ball up well, defended well, he's fast & strong and imo could well be a good winger/centre in the future.

Shame you nilled us it would have been just the ticket for us to have points on the board after the way we have been playing recently. Personally I was pleased you guys showed a decent representation of your 1st team, not often a club like ours get the chance to put ourselves against established top flight players.
I was a little worried at half time and could see the ton coming second half, but thought we defended well that period, I remember at least 3 or 4 sets right on our line where you didn't cross the whitewash, for us that took some doing as we seem to give in to much lesser sides in that position.
No doubt you will be please with not conceding?

Good luck in the next round, Leigh are a strong side this year, Oh and just watch your step if you get drawn to Barrow round after!

Some cracking performances. As has been mentioned above I am chuffed with Whitehead and mystified by the whole worrincy lark. When he became fired up the woman at the side of me who had been slating him from the very first minute, went into overdrive and seemed to suggest he was the antichrist.

Speaking of daft Bulls fans, I was next to the poor Dewsbury bloke who, after being bated over and over again, finally snapped and began wading up the terraces for a fight. My advice to Bulls fans is to leave the poor sods with a bit of dignity instead of ripping them to bits. Some of the Dewsbury fans with a chest full of pride were a bit gobby and saddened to see their team being crushed. Hardly suprising - so whoever you are big man, you could have left it alone I would have thought instead of causing ill will. Rant over.
