Looking forward to some of the away trips next year, Sheffield,Leigh, Batley, Barrow, Dewsbury, Workington, Whitehaven, Doncaster Featherstone etc are all friendly knowledgable places to watch rugby with a warm welcome usually given as I recall. It will be nice to visit them and hopefully take a hefty away following which will help those clubs financially. Let's take the ball and run with it.

Take a tip and if you drive to Barrow give the Hard Knott Pass shortcut a miss. Last time I was there, in a mate's Lada running on 3 cylinders, there were fookin goats turning back.

I would sack your map reader if he told you going over the Hard Knott was a shortcut to Barrow. Though it would be understandable if they were looking for the Hard Knott Brewery

Me too lad! Went to LSV for the World Cup - its very good!

Whitehaven, Barrow and Workington = three weekends in the Lake District straight away - can't wait

This relegation is working out OK after all!

I tuned into the Sky Sports coverage of speedway last night and would you Adam and Eve it, it was Sheffield Tigers at the Owlerton Stadium. It looked very much as it did all those years ago, dog track on the outside, inside that the speedway track and the centre green [the rugby pitch] in the middle.

If there are as few speccies for the rugby as there were at the speedway [take note those who hanker after its return to Odsal] the viewing though very distant might not be terribly bad. I suspect though, that even on a poor day, [iwe'll[/i take more fans to a game there, even in div2, that there were altogether at the racing last night.

Yep I caught it as well. Seemed to be more people in the pits than spectators in the ground. Brought back memories of going there in the 80`s for a match, not the best ground I`ve been to.

looks like a day trip to york could be on next season

Looking forward to that one. York are actually one of the best supported clubs outside SL.

Looking forward to my first 'Home' game for a good few years - rather hoping that the time the Eagles new home is built we may be a League apart (unless they join us in SL1 ) www.sheffieldeagles.com/News/Article/35425

looks like york are playing at bootham cresent home of the mighty YORK CITY next year ,better than the ground at monks cross .

The Huntington stadium at Monk Cross is being redeveloped into the "york community stadium" with an 8000 capacity and is due to open in 2016, with the knights and city sharing it - its a shame its not ready for next season if York do go up.

Bootham Cresent next year has rubbish parking, but at least you can walk it from the train station. I work in York so Im hoping they A) do get promoted, and B) play us on a Friday night so I can walk to the match after work!

You 'followed FCHT'? are you about seven years old?

Followed them since i was 7 over 40 years ago,should i have grown out of this habit by now ?
