Blind side johnny Posted December 10, 2017 Share Posted December 10, 2017 Does anyone think we will have the slightest chance of victory against the might of Batley on Boxing Day? Allegedly their recruitment has gone entirely as planned to return them to their rightful place in the top four, so they are likely to sweep minnows such as us to one side in the coming season. Maybe holding them to less than 50 will count as some sort of moral victory. I assume that our training is now in full swing and going well but I seem to have lost contact with the news feed that flows constantly out of the club. It must be my 'phone. Sport, amongst other things, is a dream-world offering escape from harsh reality and the disturbing prospect of change. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
9' oller Posted December 10, 2017 Share Posted December 10, 2017 I expect a good blow out and although we are the better of the heavy woollen sides lately the loses we suffered to you in 2017 hurt dearly. If Ned doesn' use 30 players I predict a home loss 16- 34. Tom Hemingway to play a blinder. Sykes a fair yellow and Gareth Moore to get muddy knees only 'Shaw cross juniors, Birkenshaw, Mirfield, Heckmondwike Panthers, Stainland Stags and then the Heavy woolen donkeys...

Can’t see it matters really. The BD game hardly ever seems to predict likely form. It’s just a chance to get a bit of fresh air. At least we won’t be charging as much as the robbing doggies to get in......will we?? I also predict that it will be a ###### game, just to make sure that none of those who only come at xmas bother coming again. Heaven forbid both teams might get together in advance and agree to at least try and provide a bit of entertainment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crown Flatter Posted December 11, 2017 Share Posted December 11, 2017 Come on Nick, don't be grumpy like er, GOR. Go and enjoy the fresh air, exercise your vocal chords ('course you may have done that the day previous shouting at the kids) and the game. Legs, Dews, Legs.

In other words it is just a run out with no real interest in the result, except amongst the fans.

It's quite ironic that the most meaningless game between the two sides is also likely to produce the highest attendance figure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
9' oller Posted December 11, 2017 Share Posted December 11, 2017 Certainly does but the rugby drought and fresh airing of club replicas and cheap aftershave may have a bearing too!

Hard not to be grumpy when every year it’s a lost opportunity. 100s turn up that we don’t see for the rest of the year and the game is always pants. Not asking for much. Just throw the ball around a bit. Let’s have a 34-32 scoreline that might draw a few back for future games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sir Jekyll Stocking Posted December 16, 2017 Share Posted December 16, 2017 What a strange question. Think of it this way, Equalizer... When Batley win, it's the perfect rounding off of the Christmas festivities. If the unthinkable should happen (and it sometimes does), then it's just a bit of fresh air whilst whiling away eighty minutes watching a meaningless match. Feel free to adapt this attitude to suit your own skewed outlook from the South stand. Merry Christmas.

He has a point though - I have said every Boxing day for - well, ever, "that's it, I'm not wasting my brass next year", and yet I have. This year I definitely aint - although it doesn't necessarily mean forever of course.

silcoates Posted December 18, 2017 Share Posted December 18, 2017 If there was a sponsor for the game-say Harron Homes that would be something. It's been that many years since they started on the housing estate i've forgotten what the deal is with them. We've got those fantastic pitches which must have cost a fortune.Are they being used regular? People don't seem to want to watch in june and july at our level -understandable. Maybe split the games up have some in summer.some in winter.Is that feasible? SL give leigh half a milion,how are clubs like Dewsbury supposed to compete. The rfl don't seem to have any say at all. Anyway if we had a proper league match at boxing day we'd thrash Batley like we used to-Didn't we? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
