Les Tonks Sidestep replied to The Daddy's topic in The General Rugby League Forum
Not sure that's much of a surprise. -
And the rest. Open season starts on 1st May prior to the date of expiry of contract

League 1 unsustainable?

My post wasn't referring to 'one off' exceptions.... -

I make it only 12 of the 36 'pro' clubs own their stadium -

The RFL can of course grant exceptions to the 'minimum facilities standards' required for each division, as they have for a few SL and Championship clubs -

Spacing doesn't help. Sunday's game will be only the second home game in 7 weeks, and from then to the play offs it's 2 in 9.

Max points for 'facilities' but not the bonus. If what was said is true it means Odsal will score higher than many other grounds
-
As I've posted before, at a recent Bulls' Fans' Forum it was stated by one of the Board that Odsal meets the IMG ground criteria for scoring max points (LEDs and big screen excepted)

Chronic Traumatic Encephalopathy
Les Tonks Sidestep replied to Sports Prophet's topic in The General Rugby League Forum
Yes, Cam's point is valid in regards to observable/symptomatic injuries due to head impact but they're not really the main issue with regard to the (possible) cause of CTE. It's the numerous times the brain bashes into the skull when a player comes to an abrupt halt, or has their direction of travel change suddenly through collision etc none of which (thanks to the laws of physics) you can stop from happening no matter how conditioned or how perfect the technique. -
The ranking in the 2nd link is based solely on 'finishing' position: Cas higher than the 2 Hull clubs, really?

Not sure if the Club still has a suspended fine hanging over it for fan behaviour, but this ain't going to do any favours whatsoever

1709 at Sheffield last night, a record for the OLP

On this day...

A day late but... -
Plenty of show caves around Castleton (and a castle!). The Blue John Cavern/Mine is probably the most famous and there's Speedwell if you fancy taking a ride in an underground boat. It's also a short walk from the BJ to the summit of Mam Tor with the ridge walk to Lose Hill, down to Hope and back along the river (or v/v) popular. Edale, the starting point for the Pennine Way is in the next valley. There's the plague village of Eyam and also Dove Dale for walking amd limestone scenery and Monsal Dale is worth a visit. Cromford is the home of Arkwright's Mill and the 'modern' factory. Worth remembering all these will almost certainly be very busy. TBH almost anywhere is worth visiting and there's decent walking almost everywhere although as a rough guide south of Edale it tends to be considerably drier underfoot!

Uninteresting Trivial Facts
Les Tonks Sidestep replied to James Vukmirovic's topic in Any Other Business / Any Other Sports

I assume it's to allow time for both parties to see how they 'fit', possibly particularly useful for a fringe player looking for another club or a club wanting to check out a possible signing, eg to see how an injured player may be recovering before offering a permanent deal
