Unicorn 106 Posted July 29, 2021 Share Posted July 29, 2021 Under the lights midweek very disappointing, was looking forward to it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DavidM Posted July 29, 2021 Share Posted July 29, 2021 We’ve got 6 games left scheduled from now . I guess there’s a minimum number you have to play on the win percentage system ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob Nash Posted July 29, 2021 Share Posted July 29, 2021 I believe it's 14 games. Don't quote me on that though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unicorn 106 Posted July 29, 2021 Share Posted July 29, 2021 A few people on social media thinking this outbreak in the Barrow camp is a bit convenient for them. Not having that personally, just know we are missing out on a cracking game and very large crowd, just like at Barrow. Town are the only losers here unfortunately. Here's hoping its the last game we see cancelled this season, we've had one game with no crowd in and 2 postponed now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's talk of wanting relegation from SL scrapped this season due to the affects on the sport and if there's any more games cancelled I can see calls for it scrapped in the championship this season too.

Will be the first game barrow have missed due to COVID. But unfortunately looks like it’s on the increase again.

townie88 Posted July 29, 2021 Share Posted July 29, 2021 Not to get bedded down with covid craic. Am I correct on saying after 16th August, there is no need to isolate if you've been a close contact and double jabbed? If so, could hopefully see less games postponed?

wonky Posted July 29, 2021 Share Posted July 29, 2021 The rfl need to come up with a game plan to get these games played. Wether its midweek or an extension to the campaign, Strategic call offs could become part of the game if they don’t the futures bright,the futures blue and white Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cant see why RL teams can't do it to catch up with a few postponed games Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shocking comment, you cannot fake this COVID test to be positive, why even would you? Games are cancelled to.ensure player safety which is Paramount. The virus is rife everywhere, many teams have been hit by cancellations including your own. Show some respect. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Evs62 Posted July 29, 2021 Share Posted July 29, 2021 Well let's hope the Barrow lads are ok. But Barrow were going to be missing a few players anyway going by there fans page so it's worked out better for Barrow not getting beat at Town Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Players would have to miss work and families isolate. No club would risk trying to cheat even if it was even possible. This kind of insinuation is deplorable.

Doesn’t give us a lot of leeway if the cancellations aren’t rescheduled. It must be a nightmare for the board, 9 home games to gain income, 1 without crowds and 2 postponed puts a big dent in that especially with one being Barrow. Hopefully there’ll be some way of rescheduling although your asking a lot for part timers to play Sunday, Wednesday and work full time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Death to the Rah Rah's Posted July 29, 2021 Share Posted July 29, 2021 It’s a sign of the times unfortunately, I don’t think for one minute that Barrow have pulled a flanker, I’m sure they were looking forward to playing the game this Sunday as much as the rest of us. A lot of players on both sides work at Sellafield and BAE and those workplaces have been rife with positive infections recently Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neutralfan7 Posted July 30, 2021 Share Posted July 30, 2021 Disappointed to see the game has been called off, would of been a bumper crowd for town! But these things happen and hope all Barrow players are OK. I can see the RFL getting rid of promotion/relegation this year, either that or no relegation from super league, 2 promoted from championship and no promotion from League 1. Hopefully not!

IanMac Posted July 30, 2021 Share Posted July 30, 2021 Reading the Barrow chairman’s weekly column in their local paper he says there’s a meeting at the rfl today where they are going to be discussing 2022 funding and a possible league re structure. Who knows what could happen but I think we could be coming to a fairly pivotal moment for the future of rugby league at part time level. Let’s hope clubs think of the wider game rather than a selfish approach. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
