I think Batley may just be a little cautious and see what happens.

There was rlTHISrl and then more recently
rlTHATrl which they may wish to avoid.

It's a superb facility is Bawtry Road, all standing so probably needs a seating stand, or at least some cover. Big pitch yes, suited us perfectly as you could probably guess by the result.

Can't see Bradford playing at Bawtry Road next season. Some of the less well supported clubs, perhaps. It needs some temporary seating, obviously. Facilities for the players are top notch. Facilities for the supporters probably bottom notch.

How long will they wait ? Till after the league season ends ? Till they know whether they need those three points back ?

It's now or never.

Anyway, back on topic.

There's a new road to Fev, following hard on them getting electricity and gas.

From J31, follow the road towards Linpac as usual. A few hundred yards before Linpac, there's a roundabout. Turn left onto t'industrial estate. Straight on for about a mile to the traffic lights outside the Fev Hotel. Turn right there, cross the level crossing, POR's on the left.

It seems Batley have appealed and it is being heard this afternoon - as with Doncaster.

* Note to self - Continue to disbelieve everything you read in newspapers !*

Rumours elsewhere of Batley having their deducted 3 points reinstated.

Batley and Doncaster have had their three points that were deducted, reinstated. This leaves us 6 points behind Donny with two left. 5th is the most realistic position now.

Batley's Gosh-we-didn't-know-the-rules excuse comes up good.

Unbelievable.

This is likely to mean a loss of funding to clubs who have done nothing wrong.

Well duggs will be happy - if he can avoid all the murderers released onto the street because one or two avoided getting caught last year.

Seems an extra 50k we'd have got if, a big if, we caught Donny in 4th has gone completely now after that. Hardly a smile and be happy situation for us but we'll live and concentrate on Finals Footy.

If Fax would just win a few games of their own, they might have a chance of finishing second.
