I suspect there may be one or two surprises I agree on both counts. Really important for Skolars to start the season with a strong performance (and a win!) Be fascinated to see how WWR do. 1 Link to post Share on other sites
fearnowt 525 Posted May 5 Report Share Posted May 5 The first League 1 fixture list for 14 months. Obviously want to see us win, just like everyone else with their respective teams, just nice to see all 10 names on the list. We're all winners this weekend. 4 3 Zip-a-dee-doo-dah, zip-a-dee-ay; My, oh, my, what a wonderful day, Plenty of sunshine headin' our way; At Stadiwm Zip World, Colwyn Bay!

Thanks for sharing this Fearnowt - I thought they covered the league well. I totally take Jermaine's comment about the positive benefits on wellbeing of being able to watch sport, although I have to say watching Skolars isn't always great for my stress levels! 2 1 Link to post Share on other sites

I have the same ritual every Sunday for home matches. Hasn't changed in years. I'm itching to get back to the Keepmoat but even then things will be different for a while. It'll be sitting in bubbles and not going to the bar but I can live with that just to get things started again. This is one occasion when having such a big ground pays off.

Rob Nash 204 Posted May 8 Report Share Posted May 8 I don't like predicting the results of opening games. Keighley will be tough but I reckon we match them in most positions. Boas v Murrell, Tali Vs Webster, Cross v Kesik. I'll go for a draw!! Link to post Share on other sites
