can sheffield really see a future with less than capacity(900) in a home game against the most attractive side in the league

Capacity is currently 782 (that of the new stand). It will be increased to ca1300 at the end of this month when the standing areas are allowed to re-open

Rubbish. Most of them are ugly.

[Johnny Ringo]

Big weekend for the bottom end of the table, if London win and Workington lose then you would have to say its all but over for Workington, but if they win and London lose its a 3 way battle again as I can't see Dewsbury getting a win at Bradford.

London 22-6 up.

Town 24-6 down.

Dewsbury level.

Not half time yet mind.

Yes considering this is what they’ve dealt with for years and probably won’t be spending anywhere near the same amount of rent 

[RBKnight]

York 30-0 up at Haven, H/T.....

[Fevrover]

Batley winning 20 - 28 

[RBKnight]

York run out winners at Whitehaven, 16-40

[JonM]

Widnes 26 London 22 FT. London were 22-6 up after 30 minutes. John Lear's first game officially in charge and a debut try for Kieran Dixon.

[LeytherRob]

Some result for Batley that!

[Thunder Road]

Very well done Batley.

Opens things up for York when they visit just before the Bash now 

[Thunder Road]

York are all over Fev now.

This makes things very interesting. 

 

And Batley aren't that far adrift as well.

 

Brilliant...

Thought Kear took over on 1st July.

Just happy to get the win.

Thought Parata was outstanding for London.

 

 

[Fevrover]

Fev were terrible but Batley FULLY deserved their win.

[David Shepherd]

McDermot Out

I though Fax away was your last game ?

[Stirlin]

Last game is Worky at home mate.

Overrated, his successes came of the back of some special players at his disposal.

[Jughead]

Some club, Batley. When does overachieving end and being one of the best clubs outside of Super League begin?

[GUBRATS]

I'll put down some predictions , so they'll all be wrong as I'm usually useless at them ,these being Fevs remaining games 

New h win

London a win

Haven a win

York h lose

Bash Leigh lose

Widnes a win

Rams h win

Barrow a win

Worky h win

Eagles a win

Fax a lose 

So depending on the other results between the other 4 teams below them will have York pipping them for 2 nd IMO

Does he really want to be at your place David after his outrage when at Toronto about small town teams and big city club's?

.....some confusion here mate I am posting York fixtures.

[Thunder Road]

I'm glad we are talking about other teams other than Leigh and Fev.

 

 

Give some credit I say to York and Batley to start with.

 

I'm an ardent Leigh fan..

 

Have been since I used to do the scoreboard in the early 70s as an 8 year old. ,but that aside more needs to be written about teams like York Batley and Bradford. 

 

These teams are doing it tough every week on a challenging budget in an environment that's tilted to Leigh and Fev.

 

I'm glad that a spanner has been thrown into the works.

Competition is what this championship needs and we may get it.

 

The bash will be great now...
