Bulls will be missing Sammut through injury and probably Le Strange if he gets banned. It's a good a time as any to play them.

Bateman will be back for us though.

I'm glad you can't drive a truck round our pitch all that means is you're that bit further from the action.

Unless you're in the truck

I could reach out and touch the truck as it went round. Completely bizarre.

Under normal circumstances a game of this type would probably draw a crowd of around 3,500-4,000, let's hope that due to the situation at Bradford the public come out in force to make a big pay day for both clubs, fingers crossed.

Cunningham out of game , no further news on Lawton & Emmett.

Regarding the game ... Miller says in the Free Press ...

I am not happy with this, even though I know they can be snapped up at any time.
He should be saying we will try and keep our players by matching offers short term until the season is over.
This may not be possible of course, but at least pretend or something.
If Hodson and Wateman are hived off to the first bidder we will have lost our edge and will jeopardise promotion. If as a result of that we lose out on promotion, then as Duncan Bannatyne says ... I'm out!
I won't be back ... and I won't be alone!

That's all a bit premature maybe. But it is a dilemma between wanting our side to perform well against Bradford and possibly losing players and playing crap and keeping them.

Oh it actually happened! I thought you were just painting a descriptive picture!

i think he said it to try and give the players a pick me up before a big game in which he is saying go out and show what you can do. If clubs are watching there is little that can be done about it, but i think they will want to see more than a few good games before making any move. just motivational i reckon

I think all he is saying is that it is a showcase for their talents, which it is.
I'm sure TM wants to keep hold of all of our players as it has taken him a lot of time and hard work, most of which we are unaware of to assemble the team. I don't want to lose anyone, but if we put in a good performance and for example the Bulls or another SL team offered a deal to one of our players then that unfortunately is the nature of professional sport.
If you played in CC1 and got offered the chance to play SL what would you do when compared to what we can offer?

Don't stand behind the posts, come and stand on half way and sod any mardy Bulls fan who says anything. No disrespect but that vast away end will just swallow you up so a better atmosphere would be had if you came in with us lot.

The Rooley end is far too big. That's why i thought i front of the touchdown would be a good spot.
