LINNERS

It's until the end of the season, so gives them a bit of time to assess options, whilst bringing in a coach who is well versed in dealing with situations such as what Batley are in.

If that's the case, then fair enough.

Half way through the season and nobody knows what next season entails. That is the biggest joke of all.

Hopefully the result and performance is a springboard for a decent season this year. Looks like it could be a tight league.

1375

Aye unfortunately, but 30 years for any fixture is far too long considering the pool of professional clubs we have to work with.

I've been watching Batley for going on 30 years and never seen us play at home against Leeds, Saints, Wire, Wigan, Hull. I feel all them teams would pull an attendance bigger than any seen up at that Mount in that time. Certainly wouldn't be the same old same old for us. Don't think you have to go from the extreme of elite top level pros pitted against amatuer teams to find that bit of romance.

Good luck Dewsbury....

As frustrating as it can be from time to time with communication between club and fans, the club have always punched above their weight with the limited resources they have available to them. As you mention, plenty of clubs have had the begging bowls out (on numerous occasions), whereas we have managed to get by with what we have. So as a supporter, we can only hope that the custodians continue to deliver results against the odds and we need to carry on doing our bit and backing them.

What about away at Blackpool. Think we were getting nilled at half time and then walloped them second half?

Maybe around 100, but with a fair wind could push 200 for this one.

Hopefully a decent even contest and good to see a traditional club heading back in the right direction.

Good to hear you've fully recovered

Nice to see they have come back from the brink and are now able to sign new players on multi year deals, only a few short weeks after looking doomed.

Teams with lesser budgets have to take punts on younger lads. Sometimes it works sometimes it doesn't, but we haven't done too badly out of finding gems over the years.
