Batley's 'official' attendances usually come in around 60% of the actual number of people there...'"

Ah OK!

So you are 1. A professional crowd counter and 2. Calling the Batley club cheats!

For what it's worth, as a spectator who attends Mount Pleasant every match, the published figure looked about right to me!

Quote: Bullseye "That away game at Dewsbury in 2017 when Keyes had his jaw broken and Thomas was chucked into the barriers is still an uncomfortable memory. We had a team of kids and loanees and we got badly beaten up that day. The ref didn’t want to know and we seemed unable to fight our own corner. It happened a few times that year. I have a feeling a lot of our lads have grown up since then and it won’t happen again.'"


I don't think I will ever forget that game. That was the game that nearly finished me with the sport. Referees get stuff wrong, but what went on in that game was criminal. I was bang in line with the shot on Keyes. So was the linesman, who thought it was a fair shot, then 1 minute later, came storming onto the field with his flag as he noticed the interference by ourseleves.. It was disgusting TBH Then Thomas been thrown into the railings. The ref thought it was only fair to sin-bin a player from each team!! Never come away from a game feeling as angry as that. If it happened now, I think the entire team would pile in.

On Flanagan Nothus, I do agree that he may inevitably cost us a game. However he is exactly the horrible b*sta*d of a player we've been lacking. He's also arguably been our best player in the crunch games. The championship is a different league but I'd have him in the team.

agreed Bull Mania. and how many points will he win us to offset those lost? and having him as second shift is sensible to me when opposition players are tiring, for both his quick thinking and for his nettle.

Quote: Nothus "Flanagan will end up costing us some league points this season with his lack of temperament. I'm sure of it.
I'm all for playing with your heart on your sleeve but I don't think he knows how far to push things and when to stop.'"

He has the capacity to win us lots of games as well. Towards the back end of last season Kear used to bring Peltier and Flanagan on around the same time and the pair of them caused a lot of trouble going forward. He was the difference maker last week and against Halifax in the previous friendly game.

I agree, he can be a loose canon at times but I feel he'll win us more games than cost us.

He's great fun to watch and the team gets a visible lift when he comes on too.

He's always talking, whether it's berating his team mates, winding up the opposition, or having a 'word' with the ref.

He is one of those players that you're glad to have on your team and that opposing fans hate with a passion. That's good enough for me!
