fredm Posted June 3, 2019 Share Posted June 3, 2019 The best outcome for the club would be to lose in the semi final at home to, say, Bulls or Fev. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
distantdog Posted June 3, 2019 Share Posted June 3, 2019 I don't care what anyone else thinks, but I would love to see a Batley team play at Wembley, that for me would be the best outcome - just as long as I could buy a ticket normally and not electronically!

ernieone Posted June 3, 2019 Share Posted June 3, 2019 The best outcome would be to get to Wembley and win the trophy, cannot be any more expensive than last season's trip to Toronto for a run of the mill league match. It would be a fine occasion, especially if more joined the pink walk pre match. Got a sponsor now, think it's Derek Beaumont's decking business.

Blind side johnny Posted June 4, 2019 Share Posted June 4, 2019 I think that you should order a bus, just in case. From the LNER Web Site: August bank holiday weekend Saturday 24 and Sunday 25 August 2019 Severe disruption is planned for these dates, customers are advised not to travel. Customers are advised to travel on the Thursday, Friday and Tuesday for this weekend.

It's the third test, hopefully the one where we smash the Aussies to lift the little urn. Total dilemma if it comes to it, but it would be very hard to turn down Wembley.

gittinsfan Posted June 5, 2019 Share Posted June 5, 2019 I know the 1895 game is after the main event.But how much time will elapse between the two games? This could determine how many stay on for the second game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
