A few years ago, Dewsbury reached a gf and stated, win-or-lose, they wouldn't be seeking Superleague status. This season, after winning the National Rail Cup, Karl Harrison stated that Batley wouldn't either.

Drastic error in the colour-of-rose department.

1 Bulls 2 Whoever is playing the Rhinos 3 Crusaders

Neither Batley nor Dewsbury can sustain Superleague. What they ought to be doing is setting themselves up as partners to the Bulls or Rhinos, with offers on cheap joint-season tickets for fans. If they dont, the long term future will be grim. If you're currently an unmarried or longstanding diehard Batley fan, you'll watch Batley come what may. However, if you have a family, no matter what Batley offer, there will be a big financial advantage in taking your family to Bradford under the new season ticket scheme. Those kids will grow up solely supporting the Bulls unless there is a joint Bulls-Batley marketing arrangement. For any combination of Batley or Dewsbury with Leeds or Bradford, it's got to be the way forward. The Superleague club can send squad players to the junior partner and each club can provide the other with additional spectators when fixtures dont clash and/or they are playing in London, Cumbria, France etc.

When you go to a game, it's amazing to see how fast some batsmenn can run when wearing pads, thighguard and box.

I've played on Fartown. UAU Cup final 1973 (?) Bradford v Liverpool. We got annihilated and, yes, I was rubbish.

Headingley. It's a rugby union ground these days.

Hopefully, the policemen can stop them escaping.

Bradford RUFC and Bingley RUFC merged in the 1980's. That's why they are nicknamed, and badged, as the Bees.

So do John Smith's. It's gubbins.

One of the mainstreets is Gibbet Street, and the old jailhouse and stocks are still set right next to the main A629 road at Illingworth Worth a look if you're in the area.

Half of them wouldn't, because their parents wouldn't have let them take the game up if it was to be played in that manner. Rugby's hard enough without cheap shots and thuggery.

Lancaster was next on the list after Dresden.

So, if this year Wigan and Hudds are in the grand final, the salary cap is a big success?

Yes, he's building up quite a collection of WCC Loser's Medals.

How can England pick Willie Manu and Maurie Faasavalu and refuse to pick the Evans boys? Apart from anything else, it's probably against European human rights or employment legislation. The best thing is, after a few seasons under McNamara, there's a fair chance that they wont be good enough for the Welsh team. Cymru am byth.

That Wigan hooker was evil. I dont think it was Colin Clarke, who was he?

Very sad news but, under the current system, there is still time for them to come to their senses.

Thanks for Shad Royston. Let us know when you get anyone else who's any good.

Yes, that's why my team Bradford, who were complete gentlemen and never ever committed an offence, didn't win much.

Was anyone arrested at the game?

And no way would it be smiling. Humour's for yon Cas idiots.

I take it you are not a geography or sociology student. Nor, unlike me, done extensive research watching Alan Bleasdale dramas. Being scousers they could reasonably be expected to steal half the budget and fiddle the rest from social security. Then there's the fee for "looking after" the cars of visiting spectators in a public carpark.
