RogerT Posted April 25, 2022 Share Posted April 25, 2022 One of the few grounds I have not been to, I fancy a trip up there. I'm hoping it's not a banana skin job. Who's going, as KTF says lets get there in numbers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

North, Newcastle to Workington - £2.70 (return) and 80p of that was the booking fee. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RogerT Posted April 25, 2022 Author Share Posted April 25, 2022 (edited) So long as you get the 17.05 or there abouts train it gets into Leeds for 22.09, and apparantly the station is outside the ground. The price is £36 then there is a 50% sale on them so should be about £18.00. That's return. Edited April 25, 2022 by RogerT Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

phildog Posted April 25, 2022 Share Posted April 25, 2022 Don't forget it's a 2pm kick off so 17.05 train should be easily manageable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

phildog Posted April 26, 2022 Share Posted April 26, 2022 Worky won't lie down on their own patch, they're striving to show that they're not as bad as everyone thinks and I think they'll put up more of a fight early doors. We'll have to start with same energy and effort and wear them down. I think instead of getting points on the board and have it done and dusted by halftime like Widnes we'll have to wait til until the hour mark to start pulling away. Town 14 Dogs 40. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wonder how long it takes to break the habit of going into games thinking we are unlikely to win? I must admit though, I'm really looking forward to making the journey. It's been a long time since my last trip up to Workington. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The scrim reaper Posted April 27, 2022 Share Posted April 27, 2022 (edited) I hate the phrase on paper! We play on grass most of the time! linners needs to keep the boys switched on and the intensity high like the last few weeks , plenty of banana skins in this division, how many times do teams think they just have to turn up and its game over, everybody predicting a high score workington is a long way and they won't just lay down and roll over, batley would be a big scalp for them, a win is a must for us whether its by 2 points or 50.good luck to the boys il be listening in.

Blind side johnny Posted April 27, 2022 Share Posted April 27, 2022 They are quite soft up the middle with forwards able to break through enough to get the ball away. If you have players who support properly (unlike some teams!) you will score at will. A few of their lads are carrying a fair bit of timber, too. Win by 30 pts I reckon. 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...
town blue Posted April 27, 2022 Share Posted April 27, 2022 Quite a lot of activity on here considering you lot are playing the rock bottom team, are you getting worried we are improving, so be aware an upset is on the cards (lol). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RogerT Posted April 27, 2022 Author Share Posted April 27, 2022 No, but we have a couple of guys from the darkside contributing. Just as long as we win we will be happy. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
