townie88 422 Report post Posted August 3 Walsh to miss out for me. And assuming Karl wont turn up or just being named so we have a 19? Essential we get on top of Forster if we have any hope of competing. Must be odds on to get a try from barging over from 2 yards out. A committed performance and improvement from our last derby and I'd be happy. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The atmosphere there for the past couple of years has been toxic and way beyond the banter that we used to have, the group of Town fans I was with at last years game all vowed never to go back and I don't know any of them that are going. If Town had to go there to win the league I still wouldn't go. I hope Town show some pride and put in a big performance, if they do then its anybodies game but haven are on a roll and I can't see them losing again this season.

UTT Truly sad to see that you won't be going to support the Town lads tomorrow. I know that you are a veteran Townie like myself and over the decades we have endured some pretty hostile receptions on our travels including racist abuse targeting players such as Dessie Drummond at Widnes . It is true that the mood at the wreck is poisonous lately so all the more reason to burst their balloon . Although Town and Haven are only 5 miles apart the respective attitude of supporters is like chalk and cheese . At DP you get robust banter and lots of humour --- vitriol is the norm at the wreck. 1 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
IanMac 468 Report post Posted August 3 I’ve never set foot in the wreck since I got spat on cos I was wearing a town shirt, and never will again, and that’s sad from a rugby league perspective. Followed the town all over and enjoyed banter and arguments but nothing as toxic as the wreck. 1 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Bearintown 136 Report post Posted August 4 Of the dozen or so fans I stand with at home only one other guy has ever gone with me to the wreck in many years- and hes given up this year anyways ( was a massive die hard). Had drink thrown over me and my daughter for celebrating Sammuts somersault try . Really are some idiots on the pop side and they are all middle aged men.

I agree with some of what you say and both sets of fans have some who cross the line. Believe me the half way line is no safe sanctuary for a Town fan. I've had a pint of dark fruits over me and seen other lads getting drink over them, and asked out for fights etc all by lads old enough to know where the line should be. One of them is at it every time I'm there egged on by his mates. 1 Quote The race is not always to the swift nor the battle to the strong, but thats the way to bet!

There's a group on pop side who have too much drink the rest of us are spot on a love a crack with all the fans don't let a few spoil the fun theres nothing like butterflies and nerves before a derby if we want Cumbria rugby to thrive you have to back your side and people saying I won't go to town or haven don't deserve to support either side it's a joke tbh go have a good day support ya side win or loose Edited August 4 by Havenfan13 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I'm no snowflake Sandy but at my age I can't be arsed dealing with punchy ###### up teenagers, I doubt they are regular haven fans, none of them were wearing haven colours they were just there for trouble.
