Just like to add my congratulations to Rob on how well the pitch looks. When you have a moment Rob can you call at our house, my lawn is full of weeds and is very patchy.

I just can't believe that this as happened. How can someone just go around and take so many loved ones away from so many familys? Although I didn't know Gary Purdham, his name stands out from the years I did the commentating. I'm sure Ovo can back me up when I say that while doing the commentating you remember oposition players more than you do when you are just watching the game. The Purdham brothers are names that used to stand out, not just because of Rob's progression to Super League but for the years I did the commentating Gary's name would always appear on the team sheet. A little bit like Geof Luxton who always seemed to appear on the Barrow team sheet, Jason Ramshaw at Keighley and Mark Cass at Hunslet. Gary put his body on the line playing this game for years and it is just not fare that he should be taken away in such a cowardly act of violence. RIP

I keep thinking that I am going to wake up and it's all been a dream. The team is playing well but it's the genuine increase in numbers coming through the gates that is so encouraging. On personal note last night was the first time that my lad was completely into the game from start to finish, topped of when he came downstairs this morning singing 'say we are top of the league'. Another few performaces like that and I might have him hooked! Is it me or does life feel great?

Get well soon Bob!

Give it a rest Matt! If SL & Sky collapsed I would hold my own house party. I really can't be arsed to explain why. Keep watching Quins v Huddersfield and keep telling yourself that the top flight of our elite game is ok!

Robin I never post on here nowadays because I usally get involved in arguments with a.holes that see me as someone who's opinions are holding the game back. However I have posted on the Stu thread and now I am posting on this because I just love Rovers fans like you who have passion for our great club. I am over the moon for you. Hopefully I will bump into you on Friday. Pencil

God bless you and your family Stuart. We are so lucky to have such a player and a gent who have stuck by our famous club in such hard times. I sometimes look at the hall of fame and think yeah these players must have been class but may were before my time and they played when Rovers had a great team. I think an hall of fame entry must posses class, heart and more important than anything else love and passion for Featherstone Rovers. In my opinion you possess all of these qualities. Here's to a future hall of famer. I can't imagine what you are going through but my thoughts are with you at such a sad time. Ian Elliott

Well played lads, so proud. I can't see anyone else winning at Barrow.
