Blind side johnny Posted March 16, 2020 Share Posted March 16, 2020 With all of the uncertanties at present does anybody think that the 1895 cup will still go ahead? Even without any further postponements, which must surely be unavoidable, we and other clubs still have games to reschedule. Would there be enough weekends left in the year, or will we play into the winter months (September and October)? 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...

Wouldn’t be surprised if we lose both the 1895 and challenge cups this season. That way we might get the season finished in September/ October should it prove necessary/ possible.

Piggy's mate Posted March 16, 2020 Share Posted March 16, 2020 Everything is up in the air at the moment and I can't see any spectator sport going ahead unless it is behind closed doors for tv viewing only. Even then this is a slim expectation for the next 3 months... I think this season will eventually be cancelled Touch Rugby W(h)inger and part-time Super Hero (Thursday mornings by appointment) BATLEY BULLDOGS RLFC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you watch any of it on TV it is simply sterile and soulless. What will you and I do without each other for so long then, PM?

RogerT Posted March 16, 2020 Share Posted March 16, 2020 Don't go to the pub, club or anywhere else you enjoy with mates. What's left...…...……......……......…...……...…...……... Us over 70's might as well curl up and depart this mortal coil, that will save the government oddles and oodles of cash. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought with this being the Dewsbury forum you'd not appreciate be going on about how great Batley are, but I'm happy to point out we've finished higher in the league than you for the past 20 years and haven't lost a meaningful match to Dewsbury since 1975...
