It is more or less is every week but we cannot guarantee him work (neither me nor him know what I have for him on Monday next week yet), some of the products we make our customers request delivered to their European suppliers, and he can’t do into Europe for the same costs as I can get from elsewhere.

If you think he’s off his rocker, he at least gives me a price, we are told by our customers how much they’re willing pay for our products, when they want them, and eventually where we must deliver them, we have a choice we either agree and supply or they take their business elsewhere. Welcome to the world of the automotive industry.

Do you actually think fev wanted those games on a Thursday night. Im sure they were Thursday due to premier sports. Fev lost out each time.

Im also sure we refused to play on thursday night to help you out financially to get a better share of the gate receipts on the sunday in a playoff game

FF76 - help us out?? We often took 5/600 and your gates were always poor on every shared gate

Would have been even worse on Thursday night. We at least tried to do you a favour. You forget that.

you have never taken anything even close to 300 to POR lol, dont be silly 500/600

last season we played on sunday afternoon and you hardly brought anyone

btw, RL confirmed game will be sat or sun apparently

Wrong on all counts I'd say, especially the bit about doing Leigh a favour. You have had so many 'favourable' rearranged fixtures over the last couple of years I though Nigel Wood had joined your board

Come On Leythers, let's ignore the troll. Must be school holidays.

You must be the bloke declaring the gate then, all is now clear 5 coaches and never brought 300

Must have been empty coaches we took when we beat them in the NRC game last year !!!!!!!

Not trolling, not school age either. but im being serious. Maybe 300 slightly low but 500/600 is why too high. 5 coaches about 260 fans, same amount of fans didn't turn up in cars

Its also a fact that when you were having money troubles we refused to play Thursday on premier sports to help you out with a shared gate.

I have read more than once in this thread that we always play you on weekday evening at POR which isn't at all true. maybe i am wrong but sure we played Sunday afterrnoon twice last season.

Thanks for the contribution.

Not interested in any debate about number of fans, my dads bigger than your dad etc..etc... Both clubs have great followings and we should be truly grateful to each other

Have the RFL confirmed the Sat or Sun date anywhere officially?

If so please lead me there.

I am not doubting your honesty, I just deal in facts via statements and would like to see

Unless you are "in the know" and you shouldn't be releasing such information on a forum like this.

Cheers

From the CEO

Craig Poskitt ‏@poskitt_craig 5h

Update on our Challenge Cup tie - The RFL are considering all sides and will make a decision hopefully today @InfoFevRovers

And then -

Craig Poskitt ‏@poskitt_craig 3h

The RFL can confirm that our CC fixture with Leigh is to take place on either Saturday 26th April or Sunday 27th April. More to follow

Is that good enough for you?

I highly doubt our CEO would make up this and put it into the public domain without being in the know

For what its worth, it didnt matter to me what day it was played, however i applaud my club for rejecting and then sticking to their guns on the matter on now what appears to be an unreasonable request from Leigh

Please excuse if already posted ,on the RFL website it says,Leigh and Swinton are both at home on the Sunday k.o at 2-00..TBC.

Quite likes this "public domain" lark does Mr Poskitt, doesn't he?

Yes, never shyed away from letting us fans know anything

If W*gan wanted to play Friday night and Hunslet didn't want to there is no way in hell the RFL would force W*gan to move it.

RFL have been happy for teams to play on Thursdays in the league for the past few years so why not on a Friday.

If Leigh want to play Friday night, by choice or by circumstance, then we should be allowed to unless there is a valid reason from Fev why they can't play. "We think we'd take a few more fans on a Sunday" isn't a good enough reason, RFL are even softer than I thought if they give in to some whining from Fev.
