Totally agree that whats done is done. Supporters support through thick and thin and believe me I've seen thinner than this.
Half the moaners on here never go to games anyway.

See you at Whitehaven

Charnock there is talk of us trying to sign permanently, so I can understand playing him.

Howarth I agree I would generally leave out, if Lumb was fit. But he's not and I think two hookers is a better way to go. Until Lumb is back, I think playing Howarth and O'Brien together is fine.

As far as the other comments on the thread go, I personally cannot justify spending the ticket and petrol money on a game that means absolutely nothing. I'll be there at the home games, cheering the team on as normal. If everything doesn't go the wall, I'll be there next season. But trumped up friendlies in Cumbria? Sorry, I can't justify spending money that's tight enough as it is.

I've had 20 years of this crapola out of my 43 seasons watching fev.
Its your team ffs.... through thick, thin and even thinner

Anyone else looking at the glorious weather outside and thinking how good would it have been watching Bradford/Leeds in front of 10k+ at a sun kissed odsal. Would have sold plenty of beer anyways.

I hope the players hate every second of their trip to Whitehaven tomorrow.

It pains me to say that I don't think for one minute it will bother the players. If it had they would have turned in a top performance at Fev to avoid playing the sides coming up that we face now

You're possibly not familiar with the concept of narrative.

Aye.... if you say so...

But looking at the Fev - Leeds score puts it into perspective. Would we have been that bad? Or would Leeds have put 60 past us as well?

I dunno.

This team CAN get themselves up when they want to. You'd hope that for a Bradford vs Leeds they could pull their fingers out.

But I guess we'll never know what might have been

Leeds were too quick.... too strong.
Their fitness held so much stronger than ours.
Given where we were at the bash, to be able to enjoy tody with no real pressure, get a good crowd and make a few bob .... im a contented soul.
Leeds are not this standard.... nowhere near.

I do say so. Ten years of treading water in one place and ten years of constant decline to a similar place are very obviously not the same thing.
