Rochdale Town ?
I thought that, aren't they Rochdale Athletic?

I found the following which are outliers in my collection.
If interested in either or both please PM with your details and I will get them in the post to you:
Keighley v Workington (Wednesday 6th May 1964)
Rochdale Hornets v. Keighley (Saturday 6th January 1968)

It’s hard to keep track of Leigh’s signings, hopefully all these changes won’t de-rail their promotion push.
Leigh seem to be building a platform for success

Officially they are less than 1mm apart as they are states (not cities) that sit next to each other.
the closest derby in the world then!

Hi,
I have the following available if anyone interested:
1971 Leigh v Leeds
1978 Leeds v St Helens
PM me with an address and I will post them to you. I would rather do this than recycle.
Thanks -

If we strip things right back, Wigan v Saints in a Challenge Cup Semi Final is an attractive fixture.
I think people are just bored by the repetition now.
There are all the loop fixtures, magic weekend fixtures and the challenge cup is basically a Super League knock-out cup due to the strength of SL teams and the rest barring the occasional upset which is now really just an occasional close run thing

Can't see a Widnes win tbh.
Most of the team sat in the stand.
Agree with this.
Widnes will confirm their mid-table mediocrity this afternoon

Not official but seen 3,442 mentioned as the Widnes v Barrow game.
Good effort. The next home game is v. Leigh on Good Friday so hopefully will be pushing towards 6,000.
Looking at the Widnes website seems like hospitality packages in the South Stand are selling well too for this game. Not sure who gets the benefit of this though - the club or the council. Anyway, onwards & upwards...

Regarding the Leeds attendance, I was disappointed with it (although the atmosphere was very good).
We do have to accept the downside of terrestrial tv coverage could mean a small drop in the usual attendance for that game.
I can well imagine a fair few people deciding not to bother going because of the time, weather and the fact its live on channel 4.
It does feel and look like Leeds are trying more this season to get crowds back, we’ve had the perfect storm of, stadium rebuild, ###### performances and covid over the last 5 years!
Someone should have told Sid

Media presence is also garbage at widnes

Anyway, looking forward to Sunday v. Workington, hopefully crowd will be 3000+

In the Liverpool area, there's only Waterloo of any stature. And, of course, they don't play in Liverpool. The handful of Wirral clubs, none of them in the upper levels, aren't Liverpool either. Liverpool Collegiate (Aigburth) and West Derby-based Sefton (where Liverpool Buccaneers ARLFC used to play) are tiny operations.
Caldy RUFC (Level 3 - National League 1 currently in 4th place) and Wirral RUFC (Level 5 - North Premier) are both semi-professional and operate at a higher level than Waterloo who are currently Level 6 - North 1 West, so they tend to pick up the best local RU talent from either side of the Mersey at the moment. The demand seems to be well served with the clubs in existence at the moment and I think it would be tough for Rugby League to try and grow in this small market.
Back on topic, it's good to see RL clubs developing facilities as this is one area that the Union clubs have an advantage.

So to summarise this, they are staying at the AJ Bell for 2022 whilst various feasibility studies are carried out with Moor Lane option not being without complications

I'm not, currently the RFL, FA and RFU only recognise 3G as a technology. What is being called 4G, 5G etc. is marketing for products which while may be better than predecessors are fundamentally the same 3G technology otherwise they wouldn't be allowed.
I think from when you said hockey you're thinking of 2G astroturf i.e. sand without rubber infill.
I have also seen reference to Synthetic and Hybrid pitches - where do these fit into the picture?
We probably need a separate 'plastic pitch' thread to discuss

What gibberish is this?
You just say the capacity is 5000 and everybody says "Aye, that's grand then"?
surely they should say "Aye, that's five grand then"?

The plan is vaccination. It’s been a slow rollout and the success of eliminating widespread COVID for much of the last 18 months, moreso than most countries on this planet, has allowed the government the luxury to ensure that the right vaccination programme proceeds.
The time is now to get moving on that strategy though and we are seeing uplift in vaccinations, so we will get there very soon.
That’s about all I’ve got to say about our Federal and individual State government’s plans for overcoming the threat of COVID.
Surely the answer is another hard lock down ?

Game postponed, Kinsleys ground has a tribe of Travellers camping on it!!!
Travellers Rest ARLFC?
Seem to remember a team or similar named team from the National Cup in the 80's&90's but based in Widnes was never sure where they were from? Did they actually exist and where are / were they from - Wakefield area?

Good, I have one of those annoying doorbells with 40 tunes, including some Christmas tunes.
Does it play a random choice or do you need to programme it according to the time of year?

I saw this in Asda...
Ready meal box for 2:
Chicken phaal 6 chilli score, chicken vindaloo 5 chilli score, pilau rice, chilli naan 4 chilli score, chilli onion bhajis 4 chilli score.
Shine a light.
2 years ago I would have been dangerously tempted by this, but these days it would destroy my sensitive gut.
It's a new product apparently but it was already reduced to half price in my local Asda.
Does it come with a free toilet roll holder?

Europa Cup draw
Ajax v Young Boys
Dynamo Kiev v Villareal
Roma v Shaktar Donetsk
Olympiakos v Arsenal
Dinamo Zagreb v Tottenham
Man Utd v AC Milan
Slavia Prague v Rangers
Granada v Molde
At least there's a bit of variety here, Champions League bores me to death.
Was disappointed by Arsenal's late winner last night and we'll probably end up with a final of usual suspects e.g. United v Arsenal
Salford Bailout
in The General Rugby League Forum

You really are confused, but so am I. As far as I understand Batley are more like Swinton but they own their own ground
