Were going to have to improve 10 fold to give hindley a game, 9 lads back this week though so fingers crossed

If Ecclestion keep that team and intensity can’t see em losing many from here on in...Good side!

…oh Hindley players/supporters we will be having a raffle after the game for one of our players…He got hurt over at Wild Boars (hospital pass off T)…..8 weeks off work and will never play again, his début too!!!!! prob the best stand off we could get hold of….gutted for him (and us).

sorry to hear about your player mate hope he is ok. just signed up to this so ill be poating on here now. good win for us on saturday against waterhead we played well. hopw u beat hindley saturday give us a bit of a chance finish in the top 2. good luck boys

Yeah ta m8....even if we both beat Hindley they will still finish top...i feel, unless u do em twice!!!!!, think Cobras, Wild boars and Waterhead are all playing for 2nd!!!! three very even teams tho so who knows...good end to the season either way...better like this!

i think they will finish top 2 like u say un-less we do em twice u never say never tho. it will be a cracking end to the season hope we play like we did saturday for the rest of the season we had a good game back 2 full strength aswell no more injuries fingers crossed!!!

Sorry to hear about your team mate. Sure most (if not all) will be buying raffle tickets!

Also, heard Hindley v Wildboars may be turned into a 4-pointer as we are running out of weekends!

Awful news about your lad Ben, if you want to hold a raffle or something when you visit us next (if it ever happens!), I'm sure Mike will be happy to help.

Sorry Ben, think Hindley will have too much for your lads, they've been firing on all cylinders and the Cobras have had a bit of a blip recently. The rest seem fairly straightforward, though of course we at Bury will be taking it to Eccleston as our first game back after an absolutely fcking dire performance against Bolton 3 weeks ago.

Fingers crossed it doesn't rain/freeze between now and Saturday...

"Fingers crossed it doesn't rain/freeze between now and Saturday... "

weather on firgrove is awful...the wind coming off the Pennines is just wrong, training on Tuesday was the coldest ive ever been too, coach sent injured lads watching home, we were very happy when we only did 50 mins.

we have been bob last two games, even Newton game was a bit e!!! Hindley are defo favs...but we like it that way!!!!!!! plus big T is back and the fijains are training....but who knows with them, they only like the sun (which is great in Rochdale). BUT think coach may go with 2nd team lads who stepped up to play eccleston last week....tis only fair.

Tuesday night was fcking baltic - as you say, probably the coldest training I can remember, and it's probably colder up at Firgrove! We didn't bother with 'proper' training but played full tackle for about 80 mins just to keep warm, the ground was thick mud, not frozen but the wind and snow made everything ice cold to touch.

Thought big T was buggering off back to Aus?? And haven't that full-back and another Fijian gone to Hornets?

Or can't T tear himself away from the strippers at the Flying Horse?

T has got to wait for some papers from OZ....good for us, and adam didnt want to go hornets??? and Masi just went on a walk about (no , just went!!??) turned up on tuesday like he aint been anywere calling plays we dont do any more??? Not sure he will play, as ive said coach will have last say, awsome player but no comitment!?!

Was good yesterday but it's been raining solid all day today, we'll be checking it at 9am.

Apparently our club sec has spoken with someone at Eccleston and the ref and if it's swamped by tomorrow morning we're good to switch to your place (as long as yours is ok!).

Should be game on!

typical, leave something to me.

same attitude on the pitch. "I won't tackle - Mike will do it"

We'll do something Ben, just drop me a text - the way this season is going it'll probably be mid-summer before we play you (so maybe a BBQ) but I think Cronus has just volunteered to do an extra raffle tomorrow...

Pretty confident of it being played in Bury. Pitch looked really good apart from having to destroy a snowman that was surviving on the pitch (what sort of psycho stands in the middle of a school field, at 9pm at night, with a camping lamp, hacking a snowman to pieces?). Obviously damp in places but I'll check on it again first thing in the morning just in case. Want the game so happy to move it to Eccleston if required. Referee had a St. Helens number so shouldnt see him being bothered if we need to change...

Have you got my number Mike?

Cobras Hindley game off......rochdale council are shi1te...waterloged my bum....two big games next week tho...waterhead at home on sat then Higginshaw away on the sunday in the semi final of the standard cup!!!!!....yesssss

Wild Boars 18 - 0 OFF AGAIN

This division is a in joke, why do some teams just out and not bother to play the better teams dont they want to better their game they just ring up an hour before and say no team, i dunno if i can be bothered to lace up my boots again this season overtime and gym now sounds a better alternative on a saturday. If we dont get in to div 4 next season im jacking cause this division is ing terrible top 6 teams or so good wanna play every week they teams like Blackburn, Bury, Chorley giving games all the time against us
