Smashin'.

Sod it! I've forgotten where I left my father's gun...……….

This will be one of the biggest games of our season. We really need to get it right if we are going to get some of the fair weather fans back. The club should be using this as a way of generating people’s interest in the club again. I’ve spoken to a few of my friends who haven’t been to a rugby game for a few years and they’re wanting to attend. It would be rubbish if their first impression is negative due to long queues.

The first thing we need are a few more people scanning tickets. Perhaps Chalmers and some of the other higher ranking staff can help out. Build a bit of community spirit. Perhaps we could get some of the academy lads and other squad members to help out to generate a good atmosphere pre-match? I’m sure they’d be happy to help out for 30 mins.

Absolutely agree about the pricing is key for this match. Especially if it ends up being on TV too, as that will mean prices too high will just make people watch it on the box instead. There is definitely a large amount of interest already from both sets of fans and some efforts need to be put into trying to generate interest outside of those who turn up every week. As is rightly said, some of the lapsed fans may well be tempted back.

As I've said before, I wouldn't want to be in the position of deciding the gate prices for this one. A wrong call on that could make a huge difference to the bank balance.

It’s probably too late now but it’s a shame the place looks so shabby. A lick of paint would improve it no end. More seriously I do wonder if the away terrace and the barriers are safe. I’ve not seen terracing that shabby since I was last at Belle Vue.

Where's Vasty when you need him.

He'll be along in a minute I'm sure now you've mentioned him, all the Wallace and Gromit style alarms will be going off in his tinfoil lined bunker under Doncaster Road

Just a side note, maybe we could all do our part in making this a big game and getting lapsed fans back. Get onto all our friends and family to come. I know some who haven't been for a couple of years who are on about coming. I'm on at them all the the time now to come.

Off-field we seem to have some stability. We just need more feet on those terraces to fill Odsal out a bit more. Could be a watershed moment for the club after all the years of BS to convince people to come watch us again. Let's try get a feel good about the place.

count me as one of your additions, Thursday is good for me as I can go direct from Malton where I work and afterwards on home, and she who must be will not be expecting me to paint the allotment shanty town in urban retro deconstructed green gender-neutral colours (by a strange coincidence red amber and black) on a Thursday evening.

So sweepstakes on how soon it gets changed to a Sunday?

well if there knackered I'll show you how to fix them

great draw for you and I hope make a good game of it and you get some of those so called fans back

Shock disclosure ! Jordan Lilley gives away the secret tactics which led to the massive turnaround of fortunes against Leeds, as told to the T & A....
"We managed to move the ball around and Featherstone did not know what we were doing."
JK is apparently horrified that Lilley could have handed advantage to Leeds for the eagerly anticipated cup clash !

CONFIRMED
