Understand there may be half a dozen Broncos first team squad members playing including a return to Pennine Way by Hemel's own Dan Sargison. Pity he's not one of Hemel's dual-reg players this season.

Pennine is still not complete as a ground - the recent snows have played havoc with building work - but all is on course for the ground to be in tip top shape for the first CC1 match on March 17

Watched first two sets of 30mins. Then the cold got too much for my youngest too.

Some interesting players. Hemels first No9 looked very good.

Our kids had a few good players but some still learning one. One looked scared with the ball in hand!

Hopefully i will get back to watch Hemel abit more.

Roll on Super League!

Enjoyed the day out, also only caught the first two 30 minutes as I had a cold child plus the rather important matter of getting home in time to see Oldham knock Liverpool out of the FA Cup.
Was sat in front of Tony Rea and his family for the first period - it was nice to hear his little one pretty much using the same dialogue as mine - "it's cold", "when's half time?".
The parking was,as expected,a headache if you turn up near to kick off but I've found myself a nice little spot not too far away for the rest of the season. Also, they need to get the food queues moving faster at half time. Apart from those little niggles it was exciting to be there at the start of the new semi-pro era, those who have put in the donkey work at the club over the years must be feeling so proud

The ground is a work in progress! They need a scoreboard and a pa system. They now have a cute mascot (who was not there yesterday). Has the feel of a reasonable level union ground run by diamond geezer league people. I wish them well.
If they can get some of the many modern businesses in the town on board they will get well established!

I agree ref the P.A and scoreboard. I left after what I thought was 2 x 30 minutes halves. Judging by those leaving at the same time I wasn't the only only thinking it was full time
