Feeling a bit better this morning. The players were gutted last night but all said they would come out of it stronger and so will we. Now, things to do, 1. Get my season ticket for next year. 2. Plan a Christmas Concert. 3. Get 'Hall of Fame' tickets. 4. Prepare for Bonfire night. 5. Get Scholarship dinner tickets and so on...... Theres a lot for all of us to do to keep this club right on the top of all thats good in RL.
COME ON ROVERS.

Hopefully the staff will be winging their way to Warrington as soon as the last coach leaves, however, I'm home ( in Hemsworth) it's my birthday and the wife is doing a special tea ( Barrow humble pie and Halifax has Beans) you would have to take your shoes off if you wanted to come over though as the wife is house proud. ( You can leave the rest of your clothes on ) I have seating and standing room still aailable and a swear box handy for comments about the referee. I don't have beer, but I do have some Magners left over from Christmas and some Guiness from three years ago, if I can get it unstuck from the back of the fridge. Half time entertainment is available at no extra cost, this entails a lawn mower race where the person who cuts most of my grass get's to have a flannel to wash his/her face. If this is too much I also have plenty of free oxygen for you to have a puff on ( none homophobic) The bust stop is almost outside my home I have parking for three cars and a Donkey and you don't even have to walk up the stairs as transport is provided. PLease call me if you are interested places going fast ( which is much better than I can manage). However, neither my wife nor I are beers so your request to watch with a few beers will not stand up.
Bob, will you PM your address for me. Cheers.

Recieved my tickets from the RFL with the added notes for parking."Tesco shopping centre car park, adjacent to the stadium is strictly for use by tesco customers only, tesco have the option to use the parking barriers. The car park is also stewarded on match days. Please do not park your car in this car park unless you have a valid pass for the event as you will be issued with a fixed penalty fine of

I wanted to see a thread from the beginning of the year but didn't know the date. A troll through is fascinating. The up's, the down's, the moments of triumph, the times of sorrow. The joking, the arguing it's all there in the forum log. I throughly recommend it to you. The forum is a little piece of club history. What a year this has been for Featherstone Rovers.

probably refering to it aint over till the fat lady sings!
Ah! I see. Thanks Mark.

Quote from 'Nosey Parker' column today, .......'Many former players will be in attendance with John Freeman, Dame Shirley Bassey's cousin by marriage' .......... In wales this makes him famous?
Who are you related to that we might want to come and see you. -
Quote from Danny Lockwood , page 21 This weeks League Weekly-'....with the slope to come, flat capped fat ladies were singing all over Featherstone!

I was hoping that we would be pulling in a few more supporters but those who were there really made some electric atmosphere. For me, this was rugby at it's best. Not technically perfect but full of passion. This team is really buzzing. With virtually all the same team next year, including KB, I think we are entering a new phase in the history of the club and I know I just want to be there. We must somehow pass this enthusiasm to more people and get more bums on seats. I am hoping that Warrington will a turning point and fans will want to start following more the club more regularly.

I'm going to sit on my bed and wear my CHAMPIONS 2010 cap and I don't care who see's me, if you wave for me I'll wave back.
Wish I could be there, but my heart will be and my joy if we get through first time will light up the sky.
I wish you could be there Bob. If you open your window a bit you might be able to hear me shouting for our team.

...So long as it's a fair game and the Referee hasn't been instructed about who must win.. (Sorry, wash my mouth out. ) It only seemed as though the Barrow match last year was rigged. Trust the RFL? Of course I do.

When we spoke at the Sheffield game I didn't realise tha Paul was the nemesis of Bluebeard, after all Bluebeard is good looking and Paul is a Libra like myself . It is always a pleasure speaking with you Paul/Bluebeard. The mascot is a very important part of the club, especially for the children it might be that you need a bit more meat on the legs or perhaps a new pair of breeches, but anyway, well done Paul and thank you for taking on such an important role, Maybe next season I'll be able to speak with you for longer, because I'm positive that I will be there again.
You'll be there Bob. You might not be able to shout as loud as some but you'll be there with all the right thoughts for the club. (Have you thought about connecting a voozewotsit to your air bottle!)

Saw this in the Letters Section of Private Eye today, thought it might appeal to some.....
"Sir, So Rupert Murdoch is claiming that he owns the "SKY" in "SKYPE". One wonders whether he is preparing a similar claim of ownership over the relevant section of the word "Scunthorpe".
I was dying to try this out with the people behind the Sky stand in the Arndale, but failed to attract their attention.
Not directly related to the main point, but I was interested in your by-line. I too have tried to change my name but cannot for the life of me find a way to do it. I am given to understand that this forum does not allow it but others do. It's all a mystery to me!

Thank you.

Will someone work out for me where the league table would be without bonus points please?

Until the 'new' stadiums came along it was normal to mix in with with fans from the opposing team. Now we have segregation in the new places, Sharing a your love of the game with others was always part of the day. In fact I can't think of many occasions where trouble has started between rival fans at PO.

It couldn't have been easy being a Barrow fan today but thet were a lovely bunch of people and very friendly.

It didn't sound very genuine to me! I think Sidnee and Lowfield have got it right.

Just been watching the video. It's gone all up market. Really good presentation and good camera work. As usual, Martin tells it as it is. Excellent value for

Fantastic. Lets hear of some more PROUD MOMENTS.

Kyle, Jon steel, Jonny grayshon & Zak, giving their time to train the kids. All the work done in schools with Laurabeth & Ryan Sheridan, Doug and Barbara Wilford working with kids many of us wouldn't go near, Dave Downs working with people who find it hard to keep control and understand the world they are in. Matty Dale, Danny Allen and so many more volunteers all working to try and make a better world for so many people. Robin Sharp and his team bringing young people to the game of Rugby League. Daryl Powell, determined to develop an academy worthy of any club. I feel so proud to be part of such a wonderful community as FEATHERSTONE ROVERS. Thank you, all of you and God Bless the lot of you. (Thats an official blessing by the way).

I've got a great idea that will change the way the RFL is seen worldwide. Lets invite the 2012 Olympic Committee to follow the way we run Rugby League? This is what we do. We invite athletes from all over the world to come to London and have a knockabout in the new stadiums we have built. After a while we choose say, ten or twelve athletes to go forward to the 'Super Athlete' stage. (These will be chosen by who is wearing the nicest colours). Then, these few selected athletes run up and down a few times. It won't matter who is first or last because the winner will the one who has the best smile on television.
I believe this will bring in 100's of millions of viewers from all over world in the same way that thousands are flocking to watch non-competitive Rugby League. We can invent athletes, anyone even if they have never run before.
This way we will see a lot more sporting disiplines taking part in absolutely pointless sports. We wont have to follow particular atheletes or countries, we wont have to get excited about watching nail biting endings. All we would have to do is sit in front of the television and simply watch.
Seriously though, without competition and fire in the belly to succeed any sport is pointless. Even my Grand Childrens' Primary School now have winners and losers in their sports day. Someone, please, at the RFL wake up and make this wonderful game a game worth watching.

Thanks Bob.

Sidnee, just make sure you never lose your sense of humour, it's priceless.

Is this new stadium for the use of Castleford and Wakefield exclusively? Even if we didn't want it, it should surely include us in it. We are a third of the council tax payers involved in Rugby League. We should have the right to use the stadium on equal terms. Are we being consulted by the Council on our needs?

This thread will go nowhere. In a normal world because we came top of the league, we would be promoted automatically and play offs would not exist. But this is the mad world of rugby league where anything can happen /change/be added/ removed/ turned round...etc at the whim of the RFL.
