| But to put it another way it's 500 up on the last time we played Barrow... still some way short of the 2600 average the club mentioned at a LISA meeting though...

| They were probably reasonably pleased with the attendance, but yet again we get a few more in maybe on the back of Good Friday and show them our absolutely atrocious amateurish side.......for the final half hour anyway

As a Leyther, you’re one of us the moment you come here to wear the shirt. I don't care where you were born, what colour you are, what religion you are, what language you speak. You're one of us, part of our culture, writing our history as you create your own, and making us stronger for it....[/quote:suio7kr3]:d7dc4b20b2c2dd7b76ac6eac29d5604e_10303.jpg |

To me the Fev game is now a real "Biggie".....The club has got to pull out all the stops to get the ground as full as possible for the Sky cameras.....as many freebies as they can print and give away!! The team has to then play their part and turn in a decent performance, which we have seen precious little of at home this season. We need another match lik the 'haven game.....then you might just persuade a few of the stay aways that we have the makings of something half decent, that can only improve.....

Someone said on another thread he was ready to come back on but we had no subs left.

| I think yesterday showed how important Watson is to our side. We were clueless when he went off. Despite still having the likes of Durbin, Jock, even Marsh or Rourke on the pitch at least one of them should have taken the game by the scruff of the neck but it seemed no one knew were they were playing in relation to 6/7 and 9 so they couldn't.
Hope Watson will be ok and ready for Saturday.

Haven't been a big Watson fan to say the least, but we do look sick without him in attack. Defensively, the guy is incredible, often involved in 3 tackles per set! I think he needs runners and a good no.6.

May be we should go in for Briers,we need a quality 6 and Briers at this level would be quality.Might get a few extra through the turnstyles,there is a lot of doom and gloom amongst the fans but this team is not far off becoming a good side.We have not had the same side for 2 games running with injuries.Andy Hobson was a big loss yesterday and the ref gave us jack s**t as usual,penalty count was about 9 to 3.Keep the faith

That is the general tactic for most teams nowadays, when we played Widnes we ran at Webster an awful lot. Watson stands his ground in defence and is a very good tackler for his size and definitely tackles above his weight.

Counted it as 8-5, so it wasn't that bad - well, not 'Laughton-bad' at any rate.

No its not that, its just his 'team mates' dont put the same effort in, remember this guy is usually on the pitch for the full eighty minutes! incredible player

Black Backgrounds/Gonzo the Great.gif you may think I'm an idiot, but it's nice to know I've been judged by my peers.:Black Backgrounds/Gonzo the Great.gif |

| 'Rumour' has it that Briers was offered to any Co-op club but none could afford him in the salary cap except perhaps Barrow who at that time still had money 'left' it was 'said' that us and Widnes were the first to be offered him but refused as above, thats if you believe rumours,
