Derwent Posted February 22, 2015 Share Posted February 22, 2015 Wigton Town Warriors 16 Dewsbury 24. How quaint, coming from a fan of a team that will today field 4 DR players from Widnes and 1 loan player from Wakefield.

Derwent Posted February 22, 2015 Share Posted February 22, 2015 I remember us going up there in the Challenge Cup, early seventies, and their Chairman, I think they called him Mitchell, saying Worky would walk it in the programme. We won and my memory was of Harry Beverley actually scoring a try under the sticks. He planted it down that hard you could feel the vibration on the terrace. Big Harry signed for Town a bit later on and still lives up here on the Solway Firth. Best running action ever seen in RL, he wouldn't get away with it in today's sanitised game.

I get the impression that you lot don't get on. A merger is out of the question then? Sport, amongst other things, is a dream-world offering escape from harsh reality and the disturbing prospect of change. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BatleyFanAndy Posted February 22, 2015 Share Posted February 22, 2015 Bad situation for Rams. I bet it ends up a midweek game now. Not the easiest place for players or fans to travel to for a game, never mind to turn round again. SIGNATURE Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hate the rec Posted February 22, 2015 Share Posted February 22, 2015 I must congratulate your supporters who made the long journey up to the Zebra Claims swimming pool today, you are all a credit to your club and the great game of RL, you could easily have gone right back home but instead you all decided to stay and have a few drinks and a singalong , I hope you all had a good time in the Gus bar and had a safe journey home, I bet theres some bad heads!!! a lot of friendships have been formed and I know a lot of Townies will be making the trip down to yours this season, you all helped to make a ###### day a goodun, see you all soon.

EQUALIZER Posted February 22, 2015 Share Posted February 22, 2015 Excellent hospitality from Workington even though the game didnt go ahead.Thanks to the ground staff that was noticeable in their absence If their 2 Aussies would have been available would we have had more of an attempt to get it on. Only a joke Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crown Flatter Posted February 22, 2015 Share Posted February 22, 2015 Only half of the fans arrived! Those of us on the second cosch were around 20 miles away when we found out and then someone decided we should head off home. We took in the delights of a wet Keswick for an hour while the driver took his enforced break and therefore missed the goodies and the good time had by others. Legs, Dews, Legs.
