Should have gone to.......

Can't believe anyone in their right mind would play it on a Friday night.

Last time we played at yours on a Friday (2012 season iirc), it took nearly 3 hours to get there and I missed the first half. There's no way I'd ever consider driving over on a Friday again. I imagine many other Fev supports feel the same.

From a financial perspective, it makes far more sense for both clubs to play it at the weekend, good on Poskitt for sticking to his guns.

So what's the problem then? If there is no advantage (I agree with you) then why make such a fuss? Because you'll take a few more fans and get a few more quid on a Sunday? Well on the Friday we will do better on the corporate side of things (traditionally) and make a few more quid that way.

Fev are making themselves look ridiculous. The way they are going on about there supposedly massive army of away fans they'd bring on a Sunday is just nonsense as well. Who do they think they are, Hull KR?

Well if its Saturday that would seriously mess up the clubs Community event at Golborne

Think you are mixing up your dates, that event is this weekend

a little bit of advice for the LSV ,when looking at the draft fixtures next season note dates of all cup competitions and always presume both us and Swinton could be still in them each round and do not book functions on the dates of these comps , then we can choose what day we want to play .

I obviously tempted fate, I have a vehicle originally schedule for delivery to Halewood tomorrow but my customer now wants them delivered to Bilbao instead.

As I said nothing is guaranteed but fortunately on this occasion I have some alternative work for my usual transport agent.

The biggest mistake and trap you are all falling into here is comparing any kind of normal day to day business with the operating of a sports club and in particular a semi professional RL team. Partnerships mean both parties need each other equally LSV need LC and visa versa and if the relationship is to be a successful one both parties will at times give ground and be flexible to each others needs unlike a conventional business relationship were the customer is always right mentality should always apply.

That is this coming Saturday.

We have had to travel to your side of the Pennines many times more than Yorkshire clubs go the other way over the years and frequently get stuck in traffic jams.I went to a party at Huddersfield last week and left at 6.15 and was there for 7.00, its the luck of the draw mate motorway driving.

Poskitt by the way is daft making a meal out of this, if you lot do bite and it causes bad feeling which it is, there are enough nutters who will make the most of this and thats not whats needed.This to me is a massive storm in a teacup, where both sets of fans really want a Sunday game and you are seeing something whats not there by the statement the players prefer Friday kick off,I bet Fevs would as well if it gives them more time to recover for the next game.

Again - Spot on

Maybe we (Fev) as a club see an advantage in making it difficult for Leigh by stirring thinks about the game being played on a Friday. Personally I don't see it this way, all this can do get the fans backs up and we have seen where that leads to in the past.

If we must by all means complain to the RFL and let them make the final decision, but to go on about it in the public domain just makes us all look daft.

It's official, we've given Fev what they wanted.

Game is on Sunday, kick-off 2345

Btw, if this game clashes with Liverpool v Chelsea then I'm going to sulk. Big time.

I'll still be there though.

Thanks MissV and CL, I've not been well

Maybe I am mistaken (I have been wrong before ) as I’ve always thought business is business, regardless of the type of industry, manufacturing, service, entertainment, etc. Never been able to get my head around why people think Sports clubs are different.

IMO LSV is like my transport agent, they provide a service to its customers, for which they receive payment.

Of course good customer supplier relationships need a bit of give and take, but LSV should know its customer(s), and have known that taking another booking on the Sunday of the next round of the CC was potentially going to cause major issues with one if not both of its major/regular customers.

Looks to me like they just didn’t care, unless of course LC and Swinton, had already agreed to it.

Just to be clear so far my gripe is with LSV
