Nope, was only a 1 match ban for something from his final game at Salford.

Great little ground, I love going , but nearly always get lost.

Hope we play to the shallow end first half

Me too, I think they keep moving that biscuit factory

3 different Sat Navs have taken me to the bottom of a cliff in Batley but none have taken me to the ground. As you say glow, it definitely moves around. Been there countless times and yet it is still the hardest ground in the world to find!! The relief when you finally spot the Foxes Biscuit factory is palpable!

If conditions are bad (or in fact anyway) Batley will be booting high difficult balls to whoever is at full back. If I was Jukes during the week I'd be having a catch off between Brierley & Pownall with wet muddy balls, whoever does best gets the number 1 shirt. Have to have Higson on the wing rather than Pownall as he's better defensively against Batley's big players. If it is wet & muddy doubt it'll be much of a game for the playmakers so with Rangi & Ryan both coming back from injuries I'd play whoever was fittest, last thing we need is to exacerbate an injury.

Apparently LISA are up to Coach number 4 already plus another coach from one of the pubs. I would imagine the minibus lads will also be going plus plenty going in cars on the day. Not bad with nearly a week still to go! Should be a huge following from the Leythers come 3pm on Sunday!!

Neil Jukes Barmy Army!

Are we forgetting that we also have Mati Pala and Eze Harper who can both play wing if Adam goes to full back. We have Reni who can fill in at centre. We have a rich diverse squad and with the addition of one utility back we would be complete. I have no worries at the moment that we are going to go well again this season. For the full season.

Yes we have a full minibus going Nozzy and would think the other bus will be going also.

Mr C, can I ask you ,are you Charlie the Clown in another identity?

Batley - home to some of the nastiest and jealous fans in RL, hate the place. Get ready with your tin hats boys n gals the abuse will start early

Don't be such a soft ar3e ,Batley is a great place with gradely Yorkshire folk,though if I was called Maurice I would be wary.

Lol no mate I am a lot younger (sure Charlie won't mind me saying that) and drink like a fish, Charlie doesn't drink, any way are you meeting up with us for a pint when we play you I will buy the first pint and you will have a good laugh with us Leyther.

I intend meeting up with you , I have a bet with Charlie over who finishes highest in the League this coming season,and I want to meet him to confirm it,and also meet a few other Leighers, do you know Cokey?Although I call him Hokey or Salfordlad he sounds a bit of a pain.
Let me know where you will be , I want to meet a few Fax fans as well to put faces to names.

OK will do mate, we go in The George and Dagon for our home games if it's at Fax we will be there for lunch time. I don't know Cokey as yet but know Charlie and Salfordlad who are great guys.

I did think as I wrote it. However we don't seem to have any of the Lady Leythers on here, don't want to be giving them ideas, they have enough as it is!

Quote ="Dogsmarketteam"This weekends preview wp.me/p5zizl-8M'" Thanks for that. A couple of inaccuracies maybe - thanks for considerably under-stating the magnitude of our 'tatering at Warrington, and we don't have joint captains!

Even though you are a complete ar$e on these forums I enjoy Fax folk in general and our away days there - Batley I do not, must be the shrinking gene pool in the area and the chip on both shoulders carried by so many of the fans.

Tek Al sorts Maurice, tha knees a can't say thi name fer laff in, owd prater where's geet thi name frum?Thas an owd woman that's fer sure stop moaning, nowt wrung Wi Batley, a town this it's full o gradely Yorkshire folk.

Did you see this post of mine Mr Jagger?

Great town Batley with a fantastic coach in John Kear, He would of been a popular choice for head coach for the north standards
