We are down to the bare bones and were running on fumes in the last 20 against Batley.

Easter double followed by a trip to Toulouse has taken it out of us!

I stopped by for a brew and a biscuit about 6 weeks ago, but sadly the football club told us it was too windy for a game of rugby at their ground...

On paper we should still be winning this but as Gav says we're paper thin at the minute with injuries and fatigue. Hopefully we can get some people back in and get some rest this week but it's going to be closer than a lot of people would think.

Aye I remember following that saga via Twitter.
Feel for their fans and both their old and new coaches because they really do look out of their depth, they're trying to play at Championship level with a league 1 squad. In their last seven league games they have conceded 46, 50, 48, 36, 52, 52 and 56 points.

York by a lot.

As previous posters have said injuries are aplenty at the knights so a victory by any margin would keep me happy.

Never mind score forecasts, what about the weather forecast?

Yes, How windy will it be?

[georgeb1]

Hopefully the high pressure forecast is what hornets will be feeling.

Get to Rochdale early and call in the Flying Horse Hotel, Town Hall Square. An awarding winning CAMRA pub and Hornets supporters official pub.

Plenty of parking for cars and coaches. Then short drive to Spotland.
