If you want to check this out, watch the season review video from 1997, our promotion year. Other then the high profile games that season of Hudds, rovers and Featherstone, the atmosphere is flat.

Sorry guys n gals I didn't win the euros this week so we will have to wait a bit longer . Always next week COYH
