  1. Looks like this is now working. They put it on twitter but it still didn't work over the weekend, but is now sorted and working.
  2. The last 4 aways games will be tough Fax Sheffield Bradford Toulouse
  3. Just back from seeing SLF at Leeds O2 Academy. Writing some new stuff, and as always an excellent gig...
  4. I believe that DUMP is the word you were looking for.
  5. Yes, according to the Broncos website.
  6. Feel free to contact the club, I'm sure that someone will be able to answer your question better than me.
  7. My guess would be you are right, I don't take that much notice. I could not say they they are all challenged, or that it happens every game... just what I have seen in the past. Because I travel a good 30 minutes I am normally in early, so wouldn't see all local kids turn up.
  8. Kids have to be accompanied by an adult. I have seen kids challenged when their parents/adult have been 15 yards away. Inside the ground there is no requirement to be with with the adult.
  9. There was a link to twitter on page one that showed around a dozen kids, at least 2 of them female. This was taken on someone's phone and obviously passed around. There was 1 person on there with the latest Rovers sweatshirt/Hoodie. Looks like that twitter post has been removed. The ones apart from those 4 were running off before any objects were thrown, or that is how I interpreted it. They won't have been at the game as they would have had to pay to get in.
  10. Back to the game. I left the ground today pretty miffed and thought we had suffered at the hands of the officials, as well as making numerous mistakes. I have since watched the game back, and I never thought I would say this, but I didn't think Moore had a bad game. We definitely need to sort our mistakes out, and unfortunately that means I can't see Briscoe playing next week. We need to see Evans, and let him have a run of a few games to judge him on. Injuries may dictate how many we can change round, but some seem to think they just need to turn up and they win.
  11. Most clubs have a small minority of undesirables who they wish would stay away. Whether that is Warrington 'Fans' smashing windows of Cas coaches, Wakefield and Castleford fans having pitched battles throwing bottles or 4 eggs thrown at a coach by pre-pubescent scrotes. I am sure most clubs will have similar problems, but hey, if it fits your narrative that it's only Fev then wake up and smell the coffee.
  12. Lacans Gale Springer With Cozza running them close.
  13. No, I find all the irrelevant BS funny. I think that you may well have misinterpreted my post as being pro expansion, far from it. I don't have a problem with expansion, but it won't work without a network of junior and community clubs around to support it. Just sticking a SL club in Birmingham, because it is a big city, would never succeed. So the main point of my original post was fund the levels below SL. Underfunding the Championship, League 1 and starving the grass roots was my point. Do I think that the junior structure and community game will expand nationwide, the answer is certainly NO. Fund championship, league 1 and community clubs, and don't waste it all on SL. The game in the UK will be stronger for it.
  14. Lots on Fev twitter also, but well done York!!! Fev Twitter
  15. As an aside to my previous post, should British RL be responsible for developing the sport in other counties, shall we ask the NRL if they are willing to put 66% into developing French RL, and we will put in 33%... no I don't think so.
  16. I find it all so amusing when we go through yet another discussion on expansion, and the we said, you said, arguments. For 27 years, SL, RFL and Sky have had chance to grow the game.... 27 years out of the 128 years the game has existed, well over the last 20% of the sports existence. They are no nearer now, than when they first started. As long as the powers that be insist that the way to develop the game is from throwing 95% of the income to 12 teams, then expect the rest of the sport below to develop and grow on the scraps is ludicrous. If you want to develop into the Midlands, Wales, South East or South West, you need to throw some money in, not do it on the cheap. Invest in the grass roots. The RL clubs that are in a better position to generate any amount of income are the top level, SL sides... don't give them an easy ride to squander TV money. I would halve the money they get, let them work to generate income to stay at the top. I know from being the treasurer at a local community club just how much it costs to run teams, and I packed in 10 years ago, so that will have increased sharply. If we don't invest, in 20 years time there will be even less, top quality, British players and eventually the NRL reserve league will be based in the UK. As a Fev fan, I don't see why we shouldn't aim for SL. They are willing to put in the hard work to get there so why not. But have a level playing field and help grow the grass roots, if the top 12 change, they change. Chucking money at the chosen top 12 has failed, time tells you that.
  17. I was in the community stand, near where the main cluster of Fev fans were singing and I didn't hear anything that could even be construed as racist. I would be really surprised if this turned out to be the case.
  18. No Evans, so it looks like backs will be Pickersgill Briscoe Joey Hardy Gale Ford Dean
