This is just ludicrous, the stadium and pitch facilities we're already there, surely the club has some justification to fight and appose further restrictions. Some folk are so offended and blinded by what's so plainly obvious it beggars belief. I don't suppose Kirklees Council were too bothered when passing planning applications for firstly the the pitches then secondly the housing, they should think back to that and say which came first?! Oh of course they won't when their raking in £2000 plus per household on the adjacent estates. Money talks!

Not capitalising on a 2 man advantage is concerning. Swinton were actually as easy to break as we were As soon as we had the ball in their 20 we went through them easy. Although we played in our own half for the 1st quarter of the game and their 3 score advantage was too much for a poor side to fully recover from This all points to the coaching IMO, some players are individually skillful others perform better as a team player. The coach needs to see this and create the game plan accordingly. It's their job to make sure it's either stuck to if it's working or have a leader on the park who can make the correct call or if not get message on and change it. March will be with us next season and like others he certainly wouldn't be my choice (I doubt there would be many other coaches who keep their job after 20 straight defeats). If we don't see 2 or 3 wins (or at least close competitive games) in the first 4 or 5 games next season then he has to go. Simples!

My first visit to the old Crown Flatts would have been mid 80s vs Huddersfield. I remember my mate asking if I wanted to go to the rugby with him and his dad. Never been to a game before and I was hooked from that momenton, (good job he and his dad didn't go to mount unpleasant every week, otherwise I might have been a Batley fan ) I was also very lucky to get a run out on the ground of my then heroes, in a heavy woolen school boys cup final, although we got a good hiding from St John Fishers on that occasion.

One worrying sign yesterday was hearing the team fratching amongst themselves when mistakes we're made. This is not a good look and sign of trouble within the dressing room from top to bottom. If March can't galvanise the side than we can recruit the best players we can afford but they will still play as a bunch of individuals and apportion blame elsewhere.

I'm sure he very much cost us the game away at Widnes quite a few years back allowing them to score in the 7th play and win. Didn't see him for a while after that, but he definitely go his career back on track as I remember him taking charge of the CC final Hull vs Warrington, in as much as you hardly noticed him that day, and on the odd occasion you did he seemed to be 100% spot with his calls

can I have some of what you're on please

For the first time in I can't remember when, I will choose not to make the short trip over the Valley on Sunday. Just like you BSJ not that I have completely given up but I can't bear to see the same story unfold again and again. I wasn't going to go Bradford at home and changed my mind half an hour before ,the same with Doncaster (the latter actually proving to be slight just more enjoyable than others), only to be let down as usual and my hopes dashed once again. I doubt I will be a regular attendee at all the remaining home games now for this very reason and certainly won't be there for the Sheffield and Wakefield visits or any other away game for that matter. You'd think might get tough to it over the years (40 for me) but in honesty its the hope that kills you and it certainly has been doing just that this season

Much better than previous weeks saw a full 80 minute shift from all the lads. Ferguson was outstanding lead from the front as did Sykes . We missed him when he went off. Unfortunately though the damaged has already been done. We are too far off the rest of the pack to survive in this division. Doncaster weren't good and we were in control only to be outplayed & lose in the second half, again. Can't blame the officials every week! As said many a time before by many responsibility must start at top an I do believe it's about our Chairman made some statement as to our long term plan, after all does it not worry him that away fans now outnumber home fans? We are the poor sods parting with our brass every week, and apart from yesterday only getting half a performance for our money. Come on Mark give us some hope or at least some clarity on the future of our once great and beloved club.

Don't worry we'll make you very welcome for your 20 quid. Enjoy the game.

What you moaning about, at least you're likely to see your side win. Now us poor sods on the other hand, part with 20 quid to see half a performance and usually a second half battering. if you didn't it would make you

Not necessarily BSJ. Case in point. I run small independent online retail shop we pride ourselves on both quality of the products and customer service. Our USP is you might find cheaper but we're confident you won't find better service or quality. Over the years our detail to customer service has been proven, we now have meny repeat customers, some of them which I know have been helped with our efforts in service and have seen their own business grow and as a result now hold trade accounts. We're not a faceless outfit like Amazon etc. We are open and honest and certainly do our best for our customers. It seems our beloved Dewsbury Rams aren't, at moment

So Uncle Gary and Co at Leeds Whino's have stepped up and made necessary changes rightly providing (as others have mentioned), "customer service" Do you think it's about time our own Chairman offered some customer service, at the very least made a statement as to what's going on, something is better than nothing. I'm sure he'll want us to continue parting with our 20 quid and beer money every home game, so other than blind loyalty to our club, and I know that counts for a lot of us, why should we? After all optimism and the hope of survival in the Championship has all but gone, or it seems that way.

The sad fact is that until we have some financial oomph behind us to invest in the playing squad we're not only going to enter the downward spiral but will be stuck in CC1 for the foreseeable, at best being a yoyo club between the two divisions. Perhaps the lack of investment in the squad in previous seasons is the main contributor? Perhaps we're just not as glamourous an opportunity as the likes for Fev, Fax etc. But do we need to be? If we show a little ambition (like our neighbours) and push to maintain a capable squad with what appears to be fairly decent player retention, we could establish ourselves in the Championship, like them? Unfortunately money talks and ours is very quiet!

Close call BSJ with your predicted One of the most biased officials performance I can remember, for most of the game we were IMO (all be it tinted) the best side. Cained for penalty after penalty in the second half and our visitors seemed to get away with virtually everything. I'm pleased with the performance form the lads. Who knows with a bit more of a balanced officiating we could have taken this one

I didn't go yesterday, but what worries me is how quickly results have gone off. From competing against Fax and Batley to being totally out played and looking like every team in league (apart from the dogs) will have 4 points in the bag from us. It needs to improve otherwise Sawyer will be moaning that the fans aren't showing up!
