So, what first attracted you to the millionaire Derek Beaumont?
(Just kidding Leigh fans before you all get upset).Seriously: How did the NRL compare to Super League?

Now you've done it, I was enjoying not reading his rambles.
That’s a shame, he speaks highly of you, you are ‘best of the bunch.’
Anyway I regret to inform you all our friend from West Yorkshire no longer visits this forum because we ‘don’t get banter.’
Just to clarify, it definitely has absolutely nothing to do with York’s upturn in form and Dewsbury being dreadful. It’s nothing to do with York having the best away record and 4th best home record (compared to worst away record and 12th best home record). Personally I welcome fans from other clubs here, especially clubs based in WF12 who sold just 75 season tickets for this season.
Disappearing after giving so much banter is a bit of a ‘wacky’ decision if you ask me.

Really good win is that, and glad I didn’t touch the handicap offer!
Onto our next match against London on Sunday, short turnaround for both teams, can’t be complacent.

Knights are 4/9 favourites to win today with Skybet. Eagles get 8 points start on the handicap.
Surprising is that. Likewise I couldn’t believe Halifax had a 6 point start last match.
Sheffield haven’t lost a home league match all season, and last 5 Sheffield vs York league meetings York have only won 1 of them. Add in missing O’Hagan and I think Sheffield should start slight favourites.
Still, my money is staying firmly in my pocket!

Fax go above us as they put 66 past the ram's tonight , up to us to respond on Thurs now to regain 3rd place.
I wonder if Dewsbury will consider a change of coach.
Obviously not Danny Ward, he’s on his way to York

Bradford are part time themselves though?
I think you’ve missed my point.
I’ll simplify it; the last time Bradford scored fewer points against part time opposition (regardless of their own status) was at least 12 years and probably even pre Super League (26 years ago). Not bad to say from reading a few Bulls fans comments York were ‘average.’

Excellent gate once again.
Gates are certainly holding up, my friend at the game said not as many KR fans as they usually bring. Still some of the ‘bigger’ crowds to come too (Leeds, Wakefield, Wigan).

Sounded like an incredible defensive effort, you have to go back to March 2019 (vs full time Toulouse) for when Bradford scored less points at home.
And it’s probably been decades since Bradford scored less than 6 points at Odsal against a part time team (I gave up looking when I got as far back as 2009!).
Huge game next week. Both Knights sides deserve a big crowd.

Can anyone help this poor chap who is doing the attendance figures for the Championship, The last few weeks have more holes than Swiss cheese.

It’s a shame. York City Knights are a good example, they were giving attendances which were holding up well then last 2 home matches have decided not to bother.
Just to make it more annoying, Scarborough Athletic FC, recently of step 7 of the football pyramid, played a Mickey Mouse cup final at York’s stadium last night. 15mins after the match had kicked off they’d announced the crowd and put it on Twitter.

Have to say that was a great defensive display - took me back to those days in 2019! I think we defended seven sets in around 10 mins. Also, creative going forward and took our tries well. Well done.
Sounded like a great effort and real committed defence just like in 2019.
Just wish more would come to home games - next home match is Halifax who are doing well themselves and usually bring good support, our last home match against them (in 2019) was 2101. No reason why we shouldn’t break 2500.

Good win. Bit of a break now until the next game.

Surprised Skybet are still giving Barrow +14, think it will be a lot closer.

You will need to stand up to their pack which always play few ex SL played six and get in the face of jamie ellis who pulls all their strings
Good player at this level although he’s been out for the last 3 matches (all of which York have won with an aggregate of 112-36). Will be interesting to see if he plays. Either way I think it will be a close game with just a few scores in it.

Looking forward to tomorrow’s match, should be a close game. For once the weather looks ok up there, although there’s a bit of a ‘cool’ breeze coming up from down South

It’s a great watch, reminds me of rugby league raw.

Anywhere where I can see the disallowed try everyone is talking about? The highlights only show the actual tries.

Ground out the win without really clicking, but it’s a vital 2 points and it takes some effort to nil a team in a half of rugby.
No attendance given again - I’m going for 1500 ish. A bit disappointing really, that’s 5 league wins on the bounce and we are in 3rd. In previous years we’ve done armed forces day, LGBT day, retro round etc. This season it seems we pushed the Fev game and then not much since. I’m hoping with a full off season the new owner will come up with ideas and make match day more of an experience.

It’s my stag do on Sunday, and what better way to convert a few new people to the sport than to involve the match as part of my day. Hoping for a good win and a good performance.
