A great read, and I have to say its great to see our club in such good health after a great season, bit of a shame how the middle 8s have panned out so far results wise but the experience can only benefit the team, a few quality additions in the close season and an A team and next season could be an even more special year.

What we're dealing with here is a complete lack of respect for the law

I have not got a copy yet BTJ, is there any point in having an "A" team if other clubs don't.

 

Originally I was asking the question why don't we have one.

 

Cheers Roger.

Dewsbury definitely won't be running an A team next season and, without a drastic change in the setup, I can't see Batley running one either - it is simply impracticable.

Sport, amongst other things, is a dream-world offering escape from harsh reality and the disturbing prospect of change.

Now got a copy and yes it is a great read BTJ, what a load of common sense he talks, it's so good for such a level headed person to be holding the reins.

 

Cheers Roger.
