I would think if you are buying an extra ticket it must be for the gate you enter with your season ticket. I go through Gate B in the East Stand so have purchased a second ticket for that area.

We are also funding the Whitehaven team bus.

That’s a nice gesture.

Wonder if Luke Bain is having a rest now we’re getting forwards back.

He was in a brace at Halifax

Me and the good lady can't make this Sunday's game, so I've slung a few £ Whitehaven's way. There's a Go Fund Me page listed on https://whitehavenrl.co.uk/ if any of you fancy slinging them a few £. https://gofund.me/03c07c8d

The irony is that although we helped them play the game and gave them a fair bit of money we might have just relegated them as Swinton won today.
They'll need another win to stay up.

Credit to the Whitehaven players today. They never stopped trying and thoroughly deserved their lap of honour!
Good luck to them!

Odd game today, had the feeling of a testimonial. Haven gave everything, we weren't at our best. We really need some guile in the halves. If Lino/Gale are not fit for the play offs then Trueman, if available, needs to play.

I thought we registered 60 points?

A strange game, I found it hard to get up for it in the stands, with their financial problems, lack of players and our strong physical pack, it was a professional performance by us, but the celebrations were definitely dampened by what as been going on up in Cumbria, hats off to them, a gritty effort and I wish them well for the future

Indeed. They were never really going to have a chance of winning but I thought they stood up to us quite well early on.

I can't really understand why they have so few players. You'd think a Super League club could lend a couple of fringe players for a couple of weeks.

I thought that teams couldn't add to their squads as it's after the 'transfer deadline'.

Ah, you make a good point.

Not going to lie I felt a bit ropey yesterday (self inflicted) and used it as an excuse not to attend.

Don’t think I ever did that prior to this season.

I genuinely thought I’d enjoy 2024 seeing us win for a change but I’ve found the majority of the season very dull and lacking atmosphere. The highs have been Wembley and Toulouse away despite the result in the latter, but there have been some very flat games this year where we have had it too easy, never really got out of second gear till we needed to and as such not generated much crowd engagement or atmosphere.

It’s not a criticism of anyone or the club, it’s just a reflection on where we are at the moment, and whilst we more than likely won’t be posting big scores and picking up nearly as many wins next year I can’t wait till we are back in SL.

I guess the playoff games will provide an atmosphere because of the winner takes it all sense of occasion so I’m looking forward to them.
