  1. From what I've read, the normal British January Atlantic weather systems have slipped southwards, meaning that it's p!ssing it down in the Med, and we get what Norway normally get. I believe it's controlled by the position of the jet stream. It was the movement of the jet stream that caused the wet summer in 2007 apparently. There was something on TV last year about the winter of 1963. Due to some climate anomoly the normal Atlantic weather systems were blocked from the UK to the west of Ireland and we were locked into the Scandinavian system then too. The freeze lasted from Christmas to March. I was playing U17 RL and didn't play for nearly three months. Our first game after the freeze was a Dewsbury and Batley U17 Cup game at Staincliffe. Because the frost had broken up the soil the pitch was incredibly muddy. A little kid walked into the centre at half time and got stuck. He had to be lifted out of his wellies
  2. NO adverts, no floodlight towers. Sometime in the sixties -fifties?
  3. Did Roger Simpson ever play half back? Big lad though.
  4. What puzzles me about this is why they want to get into bed with us? Newmarket is much nearer Cas than Fev. In fact I would judge it's about equidistant from Wakey and Cas, so why aren't they talking to Cas about a groundshare? At a guess because Cas would give them a two word answer and the second word would be "off" I suggest we should do the same.
  5. "We're in discussions with Featherstone and we would be delighted if they choose to play some of their bigger fixtures at the new stadium."" Why would we want to do that?
  6. TBH I would have said halfback was Jason Robinson's natural position, given his jinking running style.
  7. I must admit I don't remember Carl every playing 6 for us - only for Batley, however Pryce when he can be bothered is an excellent no 6. In September 1984 Fev played Bradford at Odsal in a midweek evening game. Hanley played 6 for Bradford, they won 27-10 - Hanley scored 17 points - effectively winning the game for them. Does that answer the question?
  8. Carl played 6 for Batley in a Yorkshire cup tie at P O Road in the eighties. Batley were extremely unlucky to lose. Foxy scored the winning try at the P O Road end after what looked like a Union rolling maul, I wouldn't have given it anyway. It was a shame for Batley, Carl ran the game for them.
  9. Carl Gibson was brilliant at 6 for Batley. When he moved to Leeds they played him on the wing, presumably they believed the myth. He was brilliant for us at fullback for a season.
  10. After sneering at our railways with "the wrong kind of snow" the French Eurostar trains couldn't cope with the temperature differences outside and inside the Channel Tunnel and broke down!
  11. Fairytale of New York - Kirsty and the Pogues. first time since last year.
  12. Agreed. Have you heard her interpretations of Methodist hymns? -I was brought up with them so they do make me feel a little nostalgic. At the moment I'm listening to the Temperance Seven. I can't explain what it is, whether it's their expert musicianship or just the corn feel of their music but I've got a bit of a fad for them just now.
  13. Watersheddings 1988 & A forty - twenty by Foxy before they were invented
  14. Chirpy chirpy cheep cheep - Middle of the Road :closedeyes:
  15. Currently Gary US Bonds Twist Twist Senora - a blast from the sixties.
