Spankings? Okay Featherstone in the cup, a game I think we were not too bothered about. Other than that the two games that we have lost we were very competitive in and could have won.
Cumbria last season was not a happy hunting ground, but as has been said already we have won there already.
The weather forecast is not good, it is for rain all day, so yes the state of the pitch is probably of most concern.
We do have our secret weapon though, the drum will be there.

I think he meant Haven have been spanked a few times this season, not us

I did! they had a couple of bad losses at the start of the season.
But as stated they are in a good run of form the last few weeks so its going to be an interesting one.

respect for you taking the drum up their.

As I am driving up I am taking the drum because the others are going by train and its a pain in the neck on public transport.

You're only encouraging him!!

The scuba diver says it's playable. Game on. Don't think it's stopped raining all day.

Still no official decision made on whether the game will go ahead

Edited: Game is OFF

Haven twitter gave it as on. Back in the car for the trip home

How disappointing for those who have travelled.

Just got home after 800 mile round trip. A lot of effort.
We are used to these sort of things and there is no point letting it get you down.
Got the call at 5.30 in our hotel, from some that were already at the ground to say that the game was off.
It was very wet, especially in one area. Match Supervisor apparently was happy but left the decision to the ref who called it off.
We went to the ground and spent an hour or so with the players, then once they left we were really well treated by Whitehaven,
they looked after us really well. We even got to eat the food that was prepared for the players, sat talking with the local fans and others from the club, it turned into a good night. But not quite as planned.
They think the game will be scheduled for two weeks time as neither side are in the cup.
Let us hope for better luck next time.
And once again, thank you Whitehaven RLFC for your hospitality.

Our re arranged game is on Sunday 17th April at 3pm.
