Alive n kicking:



sorry but the club let themselves down badly after all the hype , how the hell can a lad of 10 kick from the 30, 10 meters in from touch ? and as for the gold bar icon_lol.gif d040.gif

Agree - the only bloke who would have stood a chance out there today would have been Pat Richards.

Everything that happened today was bordering on farcical and I can imagine even with a £20 entry fee the gate wouldn't have been much smaller which isn't a bad thing in hindsight as neutrals wouldn't have come again after witnessing things today. icon_sad.gif

the whole thing was a farce, i for one would lose all this "its a knockout" rubbish now and for ever, and i include the sumos in that too, sorry but its just an excuse for someone to get mike happy and say next to sod all.

in fact today didnt work full stop as the wigan fans were coming anyway so we could have made more cash.

Unofficially the most boring poster on Cherry and White.:d7dc4b20b2c2dd7b76ac6eac29d5604e_5733.jpeg



At the risk of being hammered personally I felt the whole event was a bit random/disappointing. There was obviously the performance of Trinity, but the kicking for gold was never going to happen in a month of Sundays for the adults. I also felt it was very harsh on the kids not allowing the younger lads to move closer to the sticks. I also had to question the whole Last Post etc and the remembering our loved ones your loved ones every bodies loved ones forces etc, followed by the long list of names and the reading. I am may be in a minority but I just did not get it or feel it was appropriate to such a level.

got to agree ref the kids (they must have been gutted)

here's a pair of golden boots, but we'll only let you reach half way to the goal. a bit harsh.

I can understand the £3k. you needed to do something special to win, unfortunately they all tied their laces together

I like to pay respects but I didn't know who to pay it to. Maybe the Cumbria victims was appropriate and the past legends could have been honoured at our first SL fixture at Newmarket.

Agreed. I have no problem with paying my respects in fact I think it is a great part of our game that we do honour individuals and groups from time to time when it is appropriate, but today it was way OTT for me. I felt the Last Post and reading were in fact totally inappropriate at such an occasion.

Smacked of a club trying way too hard and getting it wrong on this occasion.

The whole thing seemed very random, a good idea in principle but the execution could've been better. I suppose the weather and the abject performance from the home side did not help matters.

Everything that was planned looked good in advance; in reality, it mostly fell on its ar5e due, by the looks of it, to sloppy planning and poor execution.

The kids kicking was indeed desperately unfair; it was obvious that none of them had a cat in hells chance of making that kick - I felt really bad for them!

I for one would like to take the opportunity to thank the club for the way in which they have supported myself and my family, when we lost our dad a couple of month's ago.

As far as I understand it there will a day every season, where fans' names who have passed away that year, will be remembered before the game.

I found it very touching, and I know my dad would have appreciated it. I'm sure this is felt by the other families also.

It was a lovely gesture, which my family really thank the club for.

My dad loved Trinity, although I wish he had put in a good word 'upstairs' for us today!

I was unaware this was the case, and as such it does make more sense, was this common knowledge or just known by those who were involved in the proceedings?
