Just noticed there is no match day thread on your forum. Is it that there is no more interest throughout your supporters. Its amazing when things aren't going too well how supporters abandon ship.

This is a tough division, and one of the most competitive in years. Any team going into a game below par are very likely to get beaten. A bad bounce of the ball, a poor call by the ref or a handling error at the wrong time can all play a big part in success and failure. If the players go into it thinking all they have to do is turn up, it will a long afternoon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phildog Posted April 27, 2022 Share Posted April 27, 2022 I think we learned that through being out-enthused by Dewsbury for 40 minutes. That we had learned our lesson was quite clear on Sunday just gone. Sorry Town fans, but if we get the same roll on this week .... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We don't have the luxury of a settled side like Batley at the moment therefore we find the topic of new signings more interesting than Sunday's game. Regarding overall postings look at the numbers over the last several years, sadly the numbers are declining because of postings on other sites such has Facebook. One thing is for certain the postees on our forum have a better sense of humour, maybe it's a Cumbria / Yorkshire thing. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One thing is for certain the postees on our forum have a better sense of humour, maybe it's a Cumbria / Yorkshire thing. What an interesting and thought provoking response. Batley have a settled side currently, though it was only a few games ago that we took a point from the still unbeaten league leaders with the only fit 17 players we had at the club! I would have thought that the highlight of any sports club's week should be the games that are played rather than the news of new players overshadowing that but maybe I am wrong on that. And finally, I will resist the temptation to respond to your final point by suggesting that it probably needs a decent sense of humour to watch Workington at the moment as that wouldn't be fair. Am looking forward to making my way across to Workington for Sunday's game, the excitement is building!

phildog Posted April 28, 2022 Share Posted April 28, 2022 It'll be a cracker of a game for whichever reason you may choose. Any visit to Cumbria is always a hard day out. As I said before Town will have several points to prove and any team that isn't on it's toes isn't paying attention. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Piggy's mate Posted April 29, 2022 Share Posted April 29, 2022 These are the worst games to predict. We should beat them comfortably, but I take nothing for granted Worky 10 Dogs 46 1 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...
RogerT Posted April 29, 2022 Author Share Posted April 29, 2022 If anybody wants to see both squads 21 names go onto the Workington RLFC website they are showing them, I know that until kick off time things can change. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

phildog Posted May 1, 2022 Share Posted May 1, 2022 We're playing like a side who have travelled 200 miles and expected to walk out and win. Attitude and aptitude are poor today. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
