Just how I felt for 6 years of meaningless friendlies under licencing , I couldn't even bother with most home games

All the best

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.

In answer to whether we would have done better than Fev, N.B. This is a quote from a Fev fan about the match, similar quotes were posted by us when we played Fev. It's possible that Leeds would have put 100+ on us.

INTERCHANGES

Joe Keyes and Ross Oakes miss out.

We do agree, but I've been banging the no.7 drum ever since we let Gale go so it's really a case of you now agreeing with me

I still like the sound of Gaskell and Gale at 6 and 7. Mere idle daydreaming now, of course, but with that combination I'd have even felt fairly confident going into the MPG.
