Most do Mr Hicks, but (and this is a BIG BUT) just check the geographical location of the teams who will kick-off at 15.00 on Good Friday and then think laterally and 'TRADITIONALLY'.

In the West Riding/West Yorkshire, it was TRADITIONAL for the TRADITIONAL INDUSTRIES (by which I mean light and heavy engineering and textiles) to work on Good Friday but have both Easter Monday and Easter Tuesday as holiday.

OK, that was on the 60's and 70's but less-so since. But if you believe that the original West Riding Clubs are all playing at 3.00 on Good Friday then check the actual fixtures:

3.00 Kick-Offs:

Coventry
Newcastle
London
Rochdale (Good Friday is a TRADITIONAL holiday in Lancashire)
Swinton (As above)
Gloucester

CHAMPIONSHIP FIXTURES-ALL 19.30 or later

Batley
Northern
Featherstone
Workington

The only Club which has an earlier KO is Hunslet at 2.00

The attendance will be interesting when compared with that of 5,250 on Good Friday 1995 (apologies if I am a year out but I still use my Division 3 Chamions Mug every day. MEMORIES ....

1962 and especially 1976 before the Old Trafford games.

If I say I'm turning up, that might (and I do mean might) put a few on the crowd!

I'm lucky enough not to work bank holidays so I will be at Lawkholme to cheer on the lads. Hoping for an improvement in performance and obviously that win which we so need.

As I commented earlier, the only reason they are doing this is to cash in on the resurgent Leigh support. I'll bet there are more Leigh fans there than Hunslet.

It'll be interesting to see if Barry has half the Leeds squad to pick from

Think you'll have noticed that Barry is nicely in Brian's pocket. Hunslet play the Leeds players McDermott decrees. Dual Reg is farce. OK, seems they can't afford to put the floodlights on on Friday night, but if Cougars can afford to run a reserve side, surely Leeds and the rest of the SL clubs can.

Yes Barry is always sat next to Brian at Super League games with his Leeds Rhinos jacket on. Hunslet doesn't exist anymore they are Leeds reserves.

DR is a super league "self serving monster" aimed at pushing the championship toward feeder status. Public enemy number 1 is Garry Heatherington.

Championship clubs are looking at cheap quick fixes and beggar the consequences, coaches are looking at furthering their careers with little thought to the real effect on the game.

If RL is to survive we need [imore[/i players in the game not the selfish cost saving SL changes that have reduced their A team/academies and brought about the need to keep their fringe/returning from injury players match fit by foisting them on us.

The original Trojan horse was the concept that DR was to keep their "young" inexperienced players in the game but they have shown their true colours by regularly using first team players. Warrington took the pee last year and Adrian Morely turning out for Swinton was the icing on the cake.

A complete and utter SL self serving farce.

Is it my imagination, or was there a post here from Rach that has now been removed?

Yep I posted but then realized on reading it back that it didn't really make sense
