Crown Flatter Posted April 27, 2017 Share Posted April 27, 2017 Blimey BSJ, you know how to put people in the spot. Age does not help the memory. I didn't even recognise John Clark and I used to work with him (and his dad, Arthur). Ian Simpson would have been the full back and Tony Roberts at nine. I am going to kick myself when the answer is revealed, as I can only identify Trevor (Dick) Lowe, Acker Bates, Kev Osborn and Nigel Stephenson. As I don't recognise the mystery man, I will try for the position of each player in the photo: 1. Ian Simpson 2. Gary Mitchell 3. John Clark 4. Kevin Osborne 5. Billy Pickup 6. Nigel Strphenson 7. Alan Bates 8. John Frain 9 . Tony Roberts 10. Dick Lowe 11. Alan Craven 12. ? 13. Graham Chalkley 14. Steve Lingard 15. Dicky Doel So now we have another guessing game - who played in which position? Legs, Dews, Legs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blind side johnny Posted April 27, 2017 Share Posted April 27, 2017 I don't think anyone will kick themselves as the player in question was labelled G Price - I don't remember him at all.The only Price around at that time was Ray and it doesn't look like him. Is this correct or has the book got their labels wrong? Sport, amongst other things, is a dream-world offering escape from harsh reality and the disturbing prospect of change.

G Price was an aussie prop not sure but think he was with Halifax before playing a few games at Crown Flatt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crown Flatter Posted April 27, 2017 Share Posted April 27, 2017 Can't see it being Ray Price. In those days the hooker generally did a full stint and if Ray was playing, I doubt Tony Roberts would have been in the line up, as Price was first the choice number nine. Legs, Dews, Legs.

christheram Posted April 27, 2017 Share Posted April 27, 2017 I prefer Friday night games. The players prefer them too to have rest of weekend with their families. Why can't you make it? Take it you don't live local? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just looked at my records and it was Tony Price an Australian via Halifax but for some reason his appearances etc weren't printed in the 75/76 yearbook ..But as you prove BSJ he was listed as G Price in team photo in said yearbook ...

Lupset Ram Posted April 27, 2017 Share Posted April 27, 2017 It would be nice to see the playing surface looking good for this game. Nice thick grass, well marked out pitch and maybe some sponsors markings like they do in the NRL? They look amazing when you see them on the telly. We might get a TV slot for some highlights perhaps, and it would be good to show the world that we are making effort. The bald patch where the players run out would be a good place to start.

christheram Posted April 27, 2017 Share Posted April 27, 2017 Don't see people's problems whining about the date of the game? Yes some of you can't make it but others can make it Friday and imsure wel attract afew neutrals. If Wakefield fans can make it then why can't Dewsbury folk? Make of it what it should be, a great occasion with a good atmosphere and crowd under the Tetleys Stadium lights... Some of our best cup game have been on Friday nights... Last years 31-30 win over Bulls.. Wigan afew year ago when we were excellent... it adds to the atmosphere and occasion, don't see the problem Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

christheram Posted April 28, 2017 Share Posted April 28, 2017 If other supporters with kids can make it like SL families do for Friday night fixtures then imsure Rams fans can too for a one off fixture. I can understand people who have planned things in advance but just don't see point in fans whining over it.

I can understand people who have planned things in advance but just don't see point in fans whining over it. Enjoy the occasion, who knows you may even witness a historical win It's been suggested that the players prefer the Friday kick off as it gives them the weekend off but both us and Wakefield kick on Sunday afternoons in league normally. So why go for a Friday night? The Batley game was Sunday, as was the last Wigan visit to us. Sure I would have been there if other family commitments didn't come first but to assume we should simply be able to make it because SL supporters with kids can on a Friday night is off the mark. Enjoy the historic victory and I'll make sure I have both the Friday night and Sunday afternoon free on the weekend of the quarter finals The future's bright, the future's RED AMBER & BLACK! http://www.jmgaskets-seals.co.uk/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
christheram Posted April 28, 2017 Share Posted April 28, 2017 All I'm saying is SL supporters seem to have no problems with Friday night games. If you have other plans that's fine , just don't see the problem in having 1 or 2 Friday night games a year. Some supporters appreciate the odd Friday night game.

There is no dispute that the romance of a game under the lights is appealing to all fans..better atmosphere, better drinking,more chance of the neutrals coming. Many supporters lives are geared up for rugby at the weekend.. And unfortunately for many fans just not of Dewsbury are lowering their priorities where rugby league is not the be all and end all of the structured week,just imagine how pee'd of super league fans can be,they buy a season ticket looking forward to the (big teams coming on a Sunday) then to find a couple of months into the season after booking holidays to make sure they don't clash with the big games,plan everything that could possibly clash with the big game on a Sunday..to suddenly find out.. Sky moved the game to Thursday, I've a mate who this has.happened to a few times regarding his team...and no longer buys a season ticket..and in fact he's not been to his teams games at all this season...this is how the game loses supporters. Yes this is a cup game,it's all pay so nothing to do with season tickets. Crowd should be around 2500-3000 if we're fortunate you'd think Without taking into account of mitigating circumstances like Weekend away Folk working Folk going out Sky game Filthy weather Can't be a.rsed after a hard day Yes a Friday night game under the lights in the cup is wonderful if it works for you and your situation. For many it don't But it's up to the club when they play Sunday I'd liked to have seen a trial Sunday evening kick off against Oldham seeing the tour De Yorkshire is running.
