Yorks Tim

My Facebook Memories are telling me that fixtures have been released this week in previous years.

Ditto

You've got sun up there?!?

15 according to radio commentary

Have they stopped the game for good now?

Nothing planned yet that I've heard of but there's a fans lobby to get someone of that calibre down to the Butts next year.

Great to see so many kind mentions of Coventry Bears. Our 20th Anniversary season was full of first-evers and best-evers and we ended it by beating a heartlands club who were still in with a shout of the play-offs. We took some beatings along the way but the young Midlands-based squad dusted themselves off and used what they'd learnt to get better over the course of the season. Awesome achievement for CEO Alan Robinson, hipster coach Tom Tsang and the staff. Our lads in the student world cup. Another exciting League 1 season where expansion sides get to face up to those with history but having a bit of a rest.. The Denver Test and wondering if I can use RL internationals as a hook for all future holidays. I started watching RL in York many years ago so pleased for them. Catalan, Toronto, Toulouse as above and Red Star to look forward to.

Said to James after the match; consider where we were when you first came here and where we are when you played your last game. The big lad will be missed.

Yes I wish them well in the Championship. Think they'll be knocking on the door of SL before too long.

SATURDAY 22nd SEPTEMBER London Skolars 18 v 36 Oldham Coventry Bears 24 v 16 Hunslet SUNDAY 23rd SEPTEMBER Newcastle Thunder 58 v 0 West Wales Raiders Doncaster 18 v 18 Workington Town Keighley Cougars 24 v 25 North Wales Crusaders York City Knights 40 v 14 Whitehaven Bradford Bulls 88 v 8 Hemel Stags Pretty sure everyone south of the South Leeds Stadium is looking forward to a Bears win tomorrow after seeing victory snatched away so cruelly at Whitehaven last Sunday. Was a great day out (and hope we get the chance to visit next year, sorry) but it was by far the hardest defeat to accept this season. Just because of the lateness of the deciding try. So i think we can beat Hunslet tomorrow and crown what has been an exciting and very encouraging campaign. The win would be a fitting send-off for club stalwart James Geurtjens and team manager Conor Kelly who will be missed when we go again next time.

Denied on Twitter by Coventry CEO. No idea of whether the other names are accurate

Will be happy if Bears improve on the home score against Oldham. We'll get at least one more win this season but it won't be this week. Bradford Bulls 62 v 12 Keighley Cougars Doncaster 18 v 14 Newcastle Thunder Hemel Stags 6 v 32 Whitehaven Hunslet 24 v 18 London Skolars North Wales Crusaders 42 v 18 West Wales Raiders Oldham 48 v 18 Coventry Bears Workington Town 25 v 22 York City Knights

I'm sat on the bus back to Coventry after watching the Bears get back to somewhere near their fighting best at Workington today. With a bit more luck the final score would have been much closer and we shut Town out for long periods of the game. We could have done better when the hosts were down to 11 men but we kept going and were rewarded with two late tries that made the score a little more realistic. Much happier than last week
