Most sensible post on here!!

weather cannot be changed and meant to be -7 overnight down in London
Manly game!!!, as a london fan I am not convinced about benefit of this game to us! BUT it was arranged between the RFL/ARL and both teams involved.

I went to the Halifax v Melbourne game last year and it pulled at fairly decent crowd and Halifax gave the near full strenght Melbourne a good game.

your missing the point ( but being a keighley fan suspect thats deliberate.) Bradford have had their pre-season disrupted by losing the hull kr game friendly to accomodate quins playing manly. The fact that the kr game wouldnt have gone ahead due to the weather is immaterial - as a friendly it wouldnt have been re-arranged. The bradford-quins match is a regular SL fixture and will have to be re-arranged, probably mid week which places bradford in the position of having to play 3 games in at max a ten day period at some point during the season. Hence we are now at an unfair disadvantage relative to the other 13 teams in the competition, however slight that disadvantage might be. whilst quins also have to play midweek they are doing this for there own benefit, getting the additional exposure the manly game gives them. They chose to do this. Bradford have had this situation imposed upon them by the league and are being further disadvantaged by the situation we are now in.

3 games in a week. Other than easter, when was the last time bradford had to do that. wasnt there a time when it was common to have midweek fixtures.

And why wouldnt they take the chance to play a leading NRL side. I think they are right to.

1999.

point is we're having to do that to accomodate quins, who get the benefit of the manly game as compensation. We only get the disadvantage.

quins are right in taking the opportunity to play manly but why should another team be put at a competitive disadvantage in the league to accomodate this?

Your wrong

Its jump racing on the turf today, they have an all weather track but thats for flat racing, they have 2 seperate tracks

Awww, dum de dums. Does BG not like the opinion of others?

Anyway, definitely the first option, if it helps you establish who the guy was.. he's been working there for a year and admitted her had no idea about pitches although he knew the pitch inspection was at 4pm. He did add that discussions were ongoing with the RFL to move that forward.

Now sod off back to your little threesome with TB and Mintball.

kthxbye

Why is everybody assuming it'll be midweek re-arrangement?
Harlequins may do what Skolars do and re-arrange for CC Final weekend, hoping to take advantage of the huge amount of RL fans in the capital that weekend to boost the crowd.

Remind me, what time was the game called off?

I see all these London fans have all come out of the woodwork.

Maybe they should all follow there team then slate us on here
