Was it a good day out ? Anyone sit through all 4 games ? Great to see Barrow get up.
We should have been there for 2 and half matches but with the traffic problems we only saw 1 and a bit, not all York's fault, just the general M62 bank holiday car park.
Didn't take part in the fan zone so can't comment on that.
There are good links to the city centre with the park and ride so it didn't matter about where the ground was for us, and there is enough around the ground to keep you fed. Just not enough people for my mind. Fev and York fans made a noise but that was about it.
Good for us as a family as it gave my 3 boys a rare chance to meet up. Blackpool is still our favourite Bash venue though.

I was quite disappointed at the lack of a crowd. You could have probably got everyone in to the East stand. Maybe the Summer Bash has run it's course

Fev lost around 9 earlier on the season, that's not an excuse
When you only start with 20 it is

Paul Marcon starting at full back for TO. Very patched up side for today.

Had to negotiate that plus the customary jam between Bradford and the M1.
M61-m62 solid too. 4hrs from Blackpool today. Mrs Kiggy sick all the way so will miss the match.

Whats the general view on the bash as a whole on here?
The decision. To move it to york hasnt gone down well with our fans at all. (Maybe we are just a grumpy bunch at the min!)
Personally im treating it like a normal away game and just heading to the ground about 45 mins before kick off like i do every other week. Ive not bought in to it all all this year .
Just wondered if other clubs fans we going for their own game or making a full day of it?
I prefer Blackpool as a neutral venue, as my mum still lives in St Annes so a win-win for me. We are in Blackpool today funnily enough but heading for York early tomorrow for the full day.

To be fair Kiggy was correct in that all 4 are fringe players at Catalans, and clearly wouldn't make the French 17 if everyone was available, but they are good players to be bringing in as replacements.
I would much rather they field a team of their own Elite players, even if they are lesser players. I'm not a fan of duel registration as I think it weakens the team, unless they have a loan period of a month and actually train with the team. Scimone is a case in point, he played last time but never trained with the team before.

London should beat Toulouse this time, TO don't have 13 fit so will have to rely on Elites or Catalan fringe players.

Both teams really good this afternoon. Batley dug in deep after playing Widnes on Monday but defended like demons against a good, physical side. Woods proving the value of a drop goal yet again.
Batley played well, although TO didn't... apparently. Missed Shorrocks who pulled out on the Saturday morning.
Interesting stat I was told today. Batley didn't give away a single penalty, knock on or six-again in the whole 80 minutes. Isn't that some sort of record?

Not really related but I read somewhere the U19 semi final was decided on a red card?

Toulouse looking to scrape the playoffs by the looks of it
Still 2nd tonight...maybe 3rd after tomorrow.
The last few weeks have been travelling, it will be 2 months between home games. 9 home games in the 2nd half of the season so I still reckon they will be top 3 come the end of the normal season.

The punch in the first tackle almost has an air of premeditated tactic about it.
Could be a tactic to see if the opposition is up for a fight. A few more niggly digs, early enough for the ref to let go, and hope for a reaction later which could get an opposition player binned. It's not in the spirit of the game for me, but players will use everything at their disposal to try and get an edge.

Referee was a disgrace Sheffield came with an agenda and he was happy to let them get on with it targeting the half backs with or without the ball and only applying the offside rule to one side.
Sounds like the ref at Swinton yesterday

Tremendous win for Swinton. Toulouse really don't seem to be travelling well at all, to be fair they're still missing quite a few players but that wasn't a bad team they put out today on paper.
That was a good TO team. Swinton must have played very well. They do have form against TO as they beat them at Blagnac in 2019. I will get some feedback about the performance from No1 son...but not today, he will be spitting feathers tonight.

Forget to say that Laguerre has a younger brother who plays full back at Toulouse. He's out injured but is a decent player like his brother.
Ben should be back end of June

TO will have 2 Dragons on board at Swinton. Centre Laguerre and hooker Tison. Both played for France last weekend. Laguerre has played 29 Super League games for the Dragons
Calum Gahan should get his first run out, I assume Tison is brought in because Calum won't manage the 80 minutes.
On paper TO should be comfortable winners, however I was there at Blagnac in 2019 when Swinton beat TO 18-20

.....the worst attended bash evet to date.
Not many tickets left to be honest. I bought two yesterday and a lot of the stadium is sold out. Not a very big stadium though, but if it can be almost full for some games it would be good.

My bad. Sorry, too much red wine.

His name is Joe Chan. FFS! How many times did he call him Jackie Chan? You have one job to commentate, at least learn the players names. At least he didn't say Macron was playing this time!

Good résumé of the day...totally wrong on the Toulouse fans though. There were at least 28 of us.
