@marcngreen: Let me dispel rumours before they go further The Bulls home is and will always be at Odsal under my reign End Of.

Well that's good to hear

Great news

Excellent.

Now all we need is an old Lada Estate running on three cylinders, for the trip to Barrow

Well I noticed that within a few weeks of him coming in that work had been done on a lot of the terracing at the Rooley Lane end, particularly on the barriers or whatever you call those things you lean on.

Can't see us moving when work's been paid for.

The hardcore support always preferred Odsal to VP too so not surprised a move is off the agenda.

For myself I am less bothered than I used to be. I'd rather see us in a modern stadium without the massive overheads but that might be an impossible dream.

I'm more bothered about your lot aj, seriously I hope we'll be playing down Lawkholme Lane next season. We're beyond luck [and hope] right now and I'd offer you ours, seeing as we don't need it, but all our luck has been uniformly bad recently, so best I don't

See you at Cougar Park.

CC, round 4, number 3 BARROW plays number 5 BRADFORD

You heard it here first. Do you want to know the rest of the fixtures?

Only if you can guarantee our involvement

Of course I can, but a brown envelope will be involved ...

Errm, yes 'reign', as in what monarchs [and oligarchs] do, and distinct from 'rein' for controlling horses and 'rain' which makes you wet. I guess he could have said, 'under my management', but what the hell we use the word for council leaders, mayors and leaders of companies. It's not really being pretentious, if that's what you're alluding to...so if he does well, I hope he's 'long to reign over us'...
