Cumberland Sausage

Both the Contestant and the Chaser guessed correctly.

Sitting eating my Tea last night watching the Chase and couldn't believe it when I heard this question being asked by Bradley Walsh. Which Sport does Fui Fui Moi Moi Play ? The Big man on National Telly,Legend ?

Jimmy you are a legend

I personally don't see it being worth doing for lower level clubs and I am also not sure that Rugby should be re-started until a vaccine is in place as it is different to other sports due to the close contact nature of the game. Even with streaming if our average home gate is 900 I cannot see anywhere near that number subscribing to view our games and you are also losing Bar takings,half time draw and match day sponsors income so without financial support from the league we would be losing money every game.Lets just hope a vaccine is not too far away and we can all get our lives back to some sort of normal. Keep safe everyone and spare a thought for everyone who has lost a loved one during this awful Pandemic.

Versus Hull on 21st August 1948 and their first ever team included the Flimby Legend John James McKeown. They won this game and followed it up the following week with a defeat against Batley at Mount Pleasant.

Thanks for that Old Un it's great to get a reply from someone who was actually at the game where it all began. Prior to this game a couple of friendlies were played by a Cumberland Select team and if memory serves me right without checking my collection they were against Huddersfield,Hunslet and an England team.Were you at any of these by any chance ?

That would be great. If you find out which game he remembers I will put a scan of that programme on here for you to show him and he can give his memories from that game.

Are there any Town fans still alive who were at this game as it would be great to hear their memories from that time.

Programme from Town's first ever League game which will be 75 Years ago this August.

After he has dumped them all is he going to do a Cool Hand Luke and see how many he can eat ?? I reckon he could do 15

Love things like this David and actually collect early Cumberland and Town Rugby League memorabilia some of which I hope to show on here.If ever you think of clearing stuff out give me a shout but in the meantime thanks for sharing on here.

Thanks Callum. I think I have sussed it out so will try and do one tomorrow. That is amazing to hear about Arnold and still following us away from home is fantastic.

Excellent reading Callum. Those are the Day's that make being a Town Fan worth it. If I can fathom out how to do it I am going to start uploading some Programmes from big games in our History starting with our first ever game against Broughton Rangers and hopefully people will be able to add their stories from the games but will be suprised if anyone is still about from that 1st game but I do have a details of the crowd etc.

Yeah and by the time they get there Toronto will probably have gone to the wall. Despite throwing big money at it they are well off the mark and will be relegated this season. Without the Structures that Super League teams have in place such as Academies and Juniors they will never compete at the highest level or develop their own players. This is the one big thing I like about Chris Thorman's vision for our club that we need to attract and keep the Cumbrian Youngsters in Cumbria and to help achieve this we need the new Stadium sooner rather than later.

So it is not just us Town fans that can see the great work Chris is doing and the Foundations he is laying now should see us having a very Strong future. All we need now is the new Stadium getting built to hopefully give him better facilities and help us attract the next generation of supporters.
